PC Specialist Aurea 540 OC review By fitting a Core i3 processor, PC Specialist has managed to afford a decent graphics card, but the awful HKC monitor lets the system down.

Acer Aspire 5942G (5942G-334G32Bn) review The Aspire 5942G tries hard to be the perfect entertainment laptop, but it really needs a higher-resolution display to match its Blu-ray drive.

Samsung LE40C650 review Samsung’s LE40C650 is a good looking and well featured TV with impressive picture quality. At £620, you get a lot for your money and it’s a worthy Budget Buy award winner.

Arbico Elite 7646 OCX review The overclocked processor makes this PC incredibly fast, but the poor monitor lets it down and we think too much has been spent on memory.

Flip Ultra HD 3rd gen review Not all the changes are improvements, but with 50fps video and image stabilisation, we still think that this is the best Flip yet

Sony Reader PRS-650 Touch Edition review It’s incredibly smooth to use and the handling of documents is superb, but it’s expensive and the Kindle has a wider range of new books.

Medal of Honor review Breaks new ground for the Medal of Honor series, but the short campaign and limited multiplayer do little to improve gameplay.

Microsoft Family Safety review Family Safety is free, comprehensive and resisted our attempts to bypass it. Its default settings should be stricter, though.

Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 (GV-N450-1GI) review A capable graphics card for £100, but it doesn’t do quite enough to topple ATI’s HD 5770.

Casio Exilim EX-H15 review Casio’s Exilim EX-H15 is a practical compact travel zoom camera thanks to its impressive battery life and good picture quality.

Philips Fidelio DS9000 review Not quite as beautiful as the B&W Zeppelin, but audio quality is on a par

Amazon Kindle 3 review It’s cheap, the hardware is fantastic and the range of books is brilliant. This is enough to overlook the annoyance of no ePub support.

Packard Bell EasyNote TM (TM99-GN-005UK) review A laptop with great performance and a good screen. As long as you can live with the design, it's great value.
