Amazon Kindle 2 review
eReaders Mobile phones

Kindle ties you into Amazon's proprietary format, but the hardware is good and you can buy books from practically anywhere.

Toshiba Satellite T130-11H
Toshiba Satellite T130-11H review
Laptops Ultraportable laptops

Light and slim, but large enough for a decent keyboard, the T130 has the battery life of a netbook and far better single-application performance.

Motorola Dext review
Mobile phones

A large, heavy phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, the Dext isn't as slick as HTC's Hero.

Laptops

A bright screen and better performance than most netbooks, but the Ferrari styling won't suit everyone.

PCs

A big monitor and Windows 7 Ultimate make this a real workhorse, but better-value deals are available.

Samsung N510 review
Laptops

Its 720p-capable screen and Ion chipset are welcome, but its battery life is poor compared to the N120.

Acer Aspire One D250
Laptops

The inclusion of Android is ultimately disappointing, and otherwise the D250 is just another netbook.

PCs

The VPC-L11S1E/S's design is so flawless, it's like Sony has built a PC into a TV, rather than vice versa.

Asus P7P55D Deluxe review
Motherboards

It's packed full of features, but at this price it's probably suitable only for serious enthusiasts who'll match it with a fast Core i7 chip.
