What has Samsung added to the N210 to warrant its Plus moniker? Answers on a postcard...

Samsung N210 Plus review
By David Bayon

A rehash of a six-month-old netbook, with little additional appeal more...
ZyXEL provides everything you need to set up a managed 802.11n hotspot.

ZyXEL N4100 Wireless Hotspot Gateway review
By Dave Mitchell

Channel Pro's sister publication PC Pro takes an exclusive look at the world's first 802.11n solution dedicated to providing high-speed hotspot and public access services. more...
With the fastest Atom processor yet, can the new Aspire One rise above the mass of netbook clones?

Acer Aspire One 533 review
By David Bayon

Huge battery life, but the all-round quality isn’t high enough to justify the price more...
Dell's striking new Inspiron breaks cover and enters the budget ultraportable fray.

Dell Inspiron M101z review
By Sasha Muller

A pint-sized beauty that combines great build, good looks and a keen price more...
Slick good looks partner with a great all-round performance in Asus's U35Jc

Asus U35Jc review
By Sasha Muller

Reasonably portable, very powerful and with huge reserves of stamina more...
Packard Bell's dot s2 is a good-looking netbook with a few tricks up its sleeve.

Packard Bell dot s2 review
By Sasha Muller

Not the best battery life, but the dot S2 boasts good ergonomics, a great screen and includes valuable extras. more...
After the multitouch Magic Mouse comes Apple's innovative take on the touchpad.

Apple Magic Trackpad review
By David Bayon

Undoubtedly better than a laptop touchpad, but does anyone need it? And, at this price? more...
An ostentatious, eye-catching design sets the Samsung apart from the budget pack.

Samsung R530 review
By Sasha Muller

Samsung delivers another cracker, with stylish design married to a top-quality display and keyboard. more...
The Z12 is ergonomically perfect, physically gorgeous and blessed with the kind of performance that would make most laptops weep.

Sony VAIO Z12 review
By Sasha Muller

Extravagantly expensive, but Sony’s VAIO Z12 is a premium cut above your average ultraportable. more...
The Samsung Galaxy S boasts a huge 4in OLED screen and a high 480 x 800 resolution.

Samsung Galaxy S review
By Jonathan Bray

Cheaper than an iPhone 4 and almost as good, this is a great value alternative. more...
Toshiba's Satellite Pro brand focuses on business use.

Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 review
By Darien Graham-Smith

An affordable business-orientated laptop offering great battery life if not the last word in speed. more...
The Dell Streak's home screen, when supplied by O2. Press the arrow at the top left to reveal all the apps.

Dell Streak review
By Tim Danton

We love the screen, we like the hardware, and Dell makes a fine first stab at making Android work in slate form – but until the Streak runs Android 2.2, we can’t recommend it. more...
Apple iPhone 4

Apple iPhone 4 review
By Jonathan Bray

A few minor issues can't mask the fact that Apple has again produced the most desirable smartphone on the market. more...
This is the smallest Man mini yet, measuring a mere 36mm tall.

Apple Mac mini review
By Darien Graham-Smith

A likeable machine, but sadly not worth anywhere near the asking price. more...
It looks like a netbook, but Datawind's Ubisurfer runs Windows Embedded CE, not full-blown Windows.

Datawind Ubisurfer review
By Jonathan Bray

Poorly made hardware and sluggish performance get in the way of what could have been a great value internet device. more...
HTC Smart

HTC Smart review
By Jonathan Bray

A poor man’s smartphone, at a mid-range price. Lacks too much to compete with even the cheapest Android handset. more...
The joojoo's home screen consists rather simply of a collection of website links.

Joojoo review
By Jonathan Bray

Flash support and multitasking are great, but this iPad wannabe is awkward and clunky in comparison. more...
The Dell Vostro 3700 is a big laptop, but the price is pleasingly small.

Dell Vostro 3700 review
By Sasha Muller

A hulking 17.3in laptop that will appeal to businesses on a budget. more...
The Y Series' U5400 processor is based on the same technology that powers Intel's lightning-fast Core i3, i5 and i7 processors.

Sony VAIO Y Series review
By Sasha Muller

A gorgeous, light and long-lasting ultraportable, but it's far pricier than the competition. more...
The Acer Aspire 1825PTZ features a capacitive, multitouch-enabled touchscreen, which is both sensitive and boasts great image quality.

Acer Aspire 1825PTZ review
By Sasha Muller

An ultraportable tablet PC with great battery life, but it falls short of perfection. more...

Fujitsu Lifebook T900 review

By Jonathan Bray

The Fujitsu Lifebook T900 is no iPad, but the Wacom screen is very sensitive. An effective tablet PC, if that’s what you need, but dull design and poor battery life undermine its good work. more...

Cowon J3 review

By Jonathan Bray

The Cowon's 3.3in capacitive touchscreen is highly responsive, beautifully bright and colourful. A fabulous portable media player that improves on its predecessor in most areas. It's pricey, though. more...

Apple iPad review

By David Bayon, Tim Danton & Ian Wrigley

The iPad captured approximately six percent of the portable PC segment in Q2 2010, with more than three million units shipped during the device’s first few months on the market. It's no laptop replacement, but there is an argument for it as a secondary device. If you can live with the flaws, you'll find a beautiful gadget that manages to be that rare thing: a piece of technology that's fun.

Palm Pre Plus review

By Jonathan Bray

The Palm Pre Plus is very little different to the original Pre, save for the removal of the button on the front. An improvement over the original, but not in the right areas. Lags behind the best of the smartphone pack. more...

Dell Studio 1558 review

By Sasha Muller

Dell has seized the opportunity to give Intel's Core i3 and i5 processors a try in the Studio 15 chassis. Nice design and good build, but it lags behind the improved competition and uncertainties remain over cooling issues. more...

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105 review

By Paul Ockenden

The candy bar design works, with a glossy front and rubberised sides to stop the device form slipping from your hand. Aimed successfully at a younger audience, but the Pearl 3G 9105 also has strong enterprise credentials. more...

Palm Pixi Plus review

By Jonathan Bray

The Palm Pixi Plus weighs a mere 94g, which is very light for a Qwerty keyboard smartphone. Slimmer, lighter and neater than the Palm Pre Plus, but afflicted with all the same problems. more...

Nero Multimedia Suite 10 review

By Jonathan Bray

The most obvious upgrade to Nero Multimedia Suite 10 is the newly-simplified SmartStart launcher. Masses of video-editing power and an excellent backup utility, but it isn't as flexible as rivals.
 more...

Asus G73Jh review

By Mike Jennings

The Asus G73Jh is understated for a gaming laptop, but some aspects of its build quality dissapoint. Blistering pace and great looks, but going hands-on reveals a few too many flaws at such a high price.
 more...

Apple MacBook Pro 15 review

By Sasha Muller

Looks familiar, but the Apple MacBook Pro 15 boast much more powerful internals than before. Apple finally upgrades to Core i7, but the design isn't perfect and Windows users will find battery life short. more...

HP Mini 210 review

By Mike Jennings

Slinky: the red metallic finish on our review unit also extends to the underside of the netbook. Excellent design, build quality and ergonomics, plus good battery life; a high-quality netbook. more...

Sony VAIO E Series 14in review

By Sasha Muller

The latest addition to the E Series family, the 14in VAIO VPCEA1S1E/L richly deserves its Recommended award. Sony’s smallest VAIO E Series comes in colours that inevitably polarise opinion, but if the styling suits, it's a great little laptop. more...

Sony VAIO M11 review

By David Bayon

Sony finally has a low-cost netbook, but rivals have moved on. Standard components, uninspired design and poor battery life make this a VAIO to avoid. more...

HTC Legend review

By Jonathan Bray

The HTC Legend stands toe to toe with Apple's finest on design, speed and ease of use. Beautifully engineered hardware allied with great software, and it's as fast as anything. more...

Asus G51J 3D Laptop review

By David Bayon

This model of the Asus G51J is the first 3D Vision laptop, and comes complete with the necessary glasses and transceiver in the box. The 3D effect is better than ever, but building it into a 15.6in laptop creates more than a few issues. more...

Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 review

By Jonathan Bray

It isn't particularly glamorous, but the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 13 is very practical. The looks won't be everybody's cup of tea, but this latest ThinkPad is cheap and eminently sensible. more...

Samsung Galaxy Portal I5700 review

By Jonathan Bray

The Samsung Galaxy Portal I5700 is remarkably well-equipped for such a cheap handset. A great-value Android phone and quick too; a great value phone. more...

Acer Aspire Timeline 3810TZ review

By Sasha Muller

Acer's slimline ultraportable is a classy affair: good looks go hand in hand with excellent ergonomics. Perfoming an almost perfect balancing act, the Aspire 3810TZ is a preternaturally accomplished ultraportable at a bargain price. more...

Samsung N210 review

By Sasha Muller

The Samsung N210's combination of gargantuan battery life, slick new looks and good ergonomics make it one of the best netbooks around. A welcome redesign and impressive battery life should continue Samsung's run of netbook success. more...

Creative Vado HD review

By Jonathan Bray

The Vado HD has HDMI output for instant playback and comes with a cable too, features the Flip Mino HD lacks. Improved quality and a very attractive price helps the new Vado HD catch up with its main rival. more...
