Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS33 review Looks great on paper with its touchscreen and 8x zoom, but a surprising number of flaws add up to a disappointing camera

Philips Ariaz 16GB review The Ariaz doesn't feel very robust, but it's great value - £75 is a bargain for a 16GB portable audio player.

Canon Pixma MX340 The MX340 does everything, but its print costs make it unsuitable for high-volume printing.

PC Nextday Zoostorm 72-4301 Core i3 Advanced HD PC review The Zoostorm 72-4301 just doesn't do enough to justify its price when there are much more powerful PCs available for the same money.

Pentax Optio M85 review Tries to provide too much for too little – sadly, image quality is overlooked.

Veho Mimi portable wireless speakers review Veho's Mimi isn't perfect, but it's still a good choice if you need a compact or portable stereo speakers.

Intel Core i7-980X review Yes it's ridiculously expensive, but you are getting a processor that's way ahead of anything else available at the present time.

MSI CR610-013 16in laptop review While MSI's CR610 Blu-ray drive makes it look like an exciting laptop, we'd prefer a faster processor and better screen.

Antec Nine Hundred Two review High quality construction impressed us, but the lack of sound dampening didn't.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A550L review Seriously fast and packed with interesting features, but the lack of video is disappointing and automatic exposures could be better too.

VMWare WorkStation 7 review Lovely software, but it’s expensive. Professionals should buy it; hobbyists should download a free alternative.

Metz Mecablitz 36 C-2 hotshoe flashgun review An unusual – and fairly cumbersome – system for judging automatic exposures, but useful for when other methods aren’t available.

Lindy USB Guitar Cable review Lindy's USB Guitar Cable is an essential purchase for any tech-savvy guitarist.
