Toshiba NB200-11L review
Laptops

A smart design and excellent battery life make the NB200-11L appear great value, but it's let down by a mediocre keyboard.

MSI GX723 review
Laptops

Its new graphics chipset isn't anything to get excited about, and there far are better desktop replacements at a similar price.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS85 review
Cameras Compact cameras

The LS85 is just what we look for in a low-cost camera, cutting back on frivolous extras but delivering on design, performance and image quality.

Cameras DSLRs

Sublime ergonomics, superb photo quality and peerless videos - the price may be hard to stomach but it's easy to justify.

Cameras DSLRs

The 500D is a worthy successor to the 450D, but the video mode is disappointing and the large sensor is let down by the kit lens.

If all you want to do is make DVDs of your photos, Xtreme PhotoStory does the job, but we'd prefer to be able to create attractive online galleries too.

A polished slideshow package with great DVD authoring, although there's little else here that isn't available with the free Picasa.
