  • Canon Pixma MG5250
    Canon Pixma MG5250 review A good all-rounder, but rival printers are better options if you favour high quality or speed over other attributes.

    MSI X400 three quarter
    MSI X400 review The 14in screen makes this a great alternative to a netbook for movie and photo fans, but performance isn't much better than a netbook and battery life isn't astounding

  • Sony Vaio Y21S1E/L
    Sony Vaio Y21S1E/L review Decent performance and battery life make the Y21 a great travelling companion, but you pay a huge premium for the brand. Ultimately, there are better-value alternatives.
