CyberLink PhotoDirector 2011 review A promising low-cost clone of Lightoom. Unless you batch process images regularly Photoshop Elements is more flexible for a similar price

Solwise NET-PL-500AV-PIGGY review Fast and superb value - this is the best powerline adaptor yet

Apple MacBook Pro 17in (2011) review It’s highly desirable, but ultra-expensive; unless you need its power and big, high resolution screen, the 15in version is better

Hands on: Pentax Q launches at Jessops today We get our large hands on this very small camera

John's Phone review Stylish, lovingly-designed, incredibly limited and expensive

Buffalo WZR-HP-G450H review Huge file transfer speeds at range help compensate for the inadequacies of the WZR-HP-G450H's interface
