Last time we reviewed an Acer Aspire Timeline laptop -- the 14in 4810T, which we tested in mid-2009 -- we were impressed. This time we've got our hands on the new Acer Aspire TimelineX 5820TG, which is a notebook equipped with a 15.6in screen. We ...

The battery is located on the rear of the notebook, so this metaphor almost makes sense

A phone games makes a pleasant transition.

While the story mode's brevity betrays Ivy's roots as a Windows Phone game, the 50 extra challenge stages and competitive multiplayer modes flesh out the package nicely. The four-player races offer some nice backstabbing pleasures, though they don't ...

A versatile media player that can handle music, photos, and streaming videos from your home network and the Internet.

Quick setup and easy navigation,Affordably priced,Support for a wide range of Internet services

Network playback can be slow,Some features available only via the remote

Very Good

Clichés and stiff gameplay dog a disappointing sequel.

Yet the game's greatest sin is that it fails to tell us anything new about mafiosos. Putting guys in suits, giving them Tommy guns, then having them engage in generic conversations about 'made guys” isn't enough substance to support a 15-hour game. ...

Linux-based and with a decent set of features, this wireless router supports many new technologies, and can be quite exciting.

Third-party firmware support it,Wireless-N 300 Mbps support,Detachable antennae

LAN ports only support 10/100 Mbps speeds,Wireless adapter is not bundled by default,No torrent client built-in by default

Good

The 3D laptop race is made up of two stereoscopic technologies vying for a piece of that small pie. There's the active shutter method, which Nvidia has a big stake in and appears to be the preferred 3D package in laptops. And then there's the ...

Quad-core processor. A gamer's delight. Fantastic keyboard and user experience

Lackluster battery life. 3D screen has poor viewing angles and lacks proper depth. Runs hot from the left side. Tacky design

The Lenovo IdeaPad Y560D is a competitively priced 3D laptop, but the polarized technology behind the 3D effects aren't as convincing as the active shutter 3D technology seen in other systems.

Thecus has been left behind in the last year, with the likes of QNAP and Synology taking over at the bleeding edge. But if you don't mind a bit of a rough diamond and you're just after huge storage at a good price, Thecus offers the product to beat.

Massive amounts of storage for a competitive price ; Great performance ; Chunky processor and RAM

A little noisy ; Interface rework still looks old, isn't finished ; Still defaults to manual IP, not DHCP ; Same old chassis as the N7700 ; Competitors offer greater depth of features

Acer sent me an Aspire One 721 to review, and the specs are quite similar to those of its smaller cousin. But the case is bigger, the display can handle more pixels, and the laptop comes with a more powerful version of Windows 7. On the other hand, ...

When people think of manufacturers who make compact digital cameras, few will probably think of Samsung. Though recently, it seems Samsung has been building more photographic equipment, and been doing a great job of it too. The latest compact digital ...

The Samsung EX1 is definitely a great little digital camera. Its design and construction helps ensure that it will last a long time. Not only does it feel well built, it also produces some pretty good results in various situations.

The DMC-LX5, successor to the DMC-LX3, features a fully re-designed lens, CCD, image processing engine, and a bright F2.0 ultra-wide-angle 24mm LEICA lens.

Vibrant photographs; Low image noise; Easy to use handling

Slight loss of resolution; Manual lens cap

Brian still uses Alpha gear alongside his Canon EOS 7D, and his contribution in this review reflects a unique Alpha users viewpoint on what you can expect from using another brand of DSLR. We respect Brian's viewpoint greatly, therefore it was without ...

Kodak EasyShare Z981 Zoom digital camera : The new Kodak EasyShare Z981 digital camera is where creativity and versatility come together. The Kodak Z981 camera zooms in faster, wider, and closer than ever, giving you sharp, steady shots you'll be ...

We take a look at Olympus' new affordable compact system camera

Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type Mobile Phone is dedicated to those who believe phones are not just for calling but are techno gizmos. Expected to release in 2010 Q3, the phone is awaited by ardent mobile phone lovers. Being a Nokia, all are assured, its ...

3D capability works well; Bright, clear display; Attractive design; Blu-ray drive

Similarly priced laptops offer better performance

The Toshiba Satellite A665-11Z isn't the most powerful laptop in this price range, but it does pack 3D capability into an attractive, highly usable, 15.6-inch machine.

A perfect fit for Steam. Witty as ever and great attention to detail. Low spec requirements and an even lower cost. A return to 2D maps. Plenty of game modes

Late game AI can be brutal. Not a great leap forward in graphics

Get some.

Need a powerful multimedia laptop, buy this one!

Excellent multimedia experience; Good looks; Attractive price

The NB30 delivers middle-of-the-road netbook performance, with some durability bonuses.

Over the years Canon has managed to pack an enormous array of features into its never-ending series of IXUS cameras. Generally speaking this seems to be the electronic equivalent of squeezing a pint into a half-pint ...

This High Speed IXUS is a gem of a compact camera that delivers continuous shooting and some interesting HD video features. Unfortunately you pay a high price for the privilege of owning these exotic features and we suspect you won't use them all that ...

Excellent picture quality; Good media-playback support; Attractive styling

Lack of 7.1 analogue audio outputs

Although the 3D-capable Sony BDP-S470 isn't really worth considering unless you have a 3D TV, it's still a top-notch Blu-ray player, at a very reasonable price.

Good value for money; 26x zoom range; Zoom can be used when shooting movies

Over-saturated, over-exposed images; Sluggish image-writing times; Plasticky, brick-like body

The Kodak EasyShare Z981 might be something of a plastic brick that delivers over-saturated images, but £240 for a camera with a 26x zoom is a bargain. Its price is the Z981's saving grace.

First we were hit by a Wildfire, now weÂ're being soothed by an Aria. The HTC Aria shares a lot of DNA with the HD mini, but makes the jump to Android and is ready to take on compact touchscreen midrangers. The HTC Aria goes against the current...

3.2" 256K-color HVGA capacitive touchscreen with multi-touch input ; Compact body and bold industrial design ; Android 2.1 Eclair with Sense UI ; Qualcomm MSM7227 600 MHz CPU and 384MB RAM ; Quad-band GSM support with dual-band HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA ...

Poor display sunlight legibility ; Patchy Flash support in the browser ; Card slot under the battery cover ; No DivX/XviD video support out-of-the-box ; No secondary video-call camera ; No voice dialing ; No dedicated camera key and no lens cover ;

The HTC Aria goes against the current trend of ever growing touchscreens. HTC are already pushing the limits with the 4.3Â" display on the Evo 4G. The Aria settles for a more compact 3.2Â" screen and it opts out of the gigahertz race too Â- with a ...

Home cinema sound by stealth

Blends into background, clear boost in sound quality and power ;

Sound isn't particularly subtle, no tone controls ;

It comes in two sizes - one for TVs with 30-42in screens, and another, the Q-TV2X, with the same speaker and amp set-up, but with a longer telescopic frame for TVs measuring 42-50in
