Shure E3c review

Reviews Now, thanks to some trickle-down technology, a range of Shure in-ear models is available to consumers. The Shure E3c earbuds are the descendants of the company's in-ear monitors for onstage musicians.

HDTV (high-definition television)

Reviews Japan introduced an analogue version of HDTV in the 1980s, but it was not tremendously popular with consumers there. A TV signal that offers a much higher resolution and a wider aspect ratio than traditional NTSC (standard broadcast) signals.

JVC GR-X5 review

Reviews I'm not sure how JVC plans to enforce this rule, but the thrust of it is significant: while three-chip cameras have historically been expensive professional and prosumer units, the GR-X5 represents a relatively affordable three-chip option geared...

Panasonic NVGS250B review

Reviews But to the discriminating videographer, it offers a three-chip capture system and improved image stabilisation -- advantages that make it a winner.Most video cameras geared toward general consumers have a single light-gathering CCD chip.

JVC Everio GZ-MG730 review

Reviews Instead of a more typical 1-megapixel or 680,000-pixel sensor, the MG730 uses a 7-megapixel model with the goal of giving consumers a combination camcorder and a still camera in a single body. Standard-definition camcorders tend to have relatively...

Dell Axim X30 (64MB, 312MHz processor) review

Dell Vostro 1400 preview

Reviews These are aimed primarily at small businesses but there's nothing stopping consumers taking advantage of its uber-low price and surprisingly good specification. Before the Asus Eee PC, budget computing was only possible with underpowered desktops...

Elonex Lumina review

Reviews For most consumers, these things simply aren't ready to be plugged in. If you've been following our experiences with Windows Media Center PCs, such as the Moore Medio and the Evesham ebox, you'll know that we've had endless problems getting a video...

Nikon D50 review

Reviews Bargain-hunting digital-SLR consumers will find a few features missing from the D70s's array, including a 1/8,000-second top shutter speed, a depth-of-field preview and a second command dial. Seven worry-free scene modes augmented by a serviceable...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 review

Reviews Now think about how miserable the experience is trying to find an image on that camera or phone, how frequently you don't have the photo you really want to show, and how pathetically small and visually underwhelming the display is for the task...

OLPC XO-1 (One Laptop Per Child) review

Reviews It's currently not available for sale to consumers, although Negroponte has said that the UK is in line for a 'Give 1, Get 1' donation programme during 2008. Why should rich Western kids get all the cool kit?

RM Asus miniBook review

Reviews RM assures us that ordinary consumers can buy them from rm.com, despite the site's claims that the laptop is only available to schools. The RM Asus miniBook is RM's version of the Asus Eee PC 701. It uses the same chassis and even sports the same...

Dell Vostro 1310 review

Reviews StrengthsThe Vostro range is aimed primarily at business users -- you'll find it in the business section of the Dell Web site -- but there's nothing to stop consumers from taking advantage of their low price tags.

Relisys RLT32AB20 review

Reviews However, most consumers probably won't even bother finding all this out when they see the TV isn't high-definition ready -- something that isn't beyond the scope of budget LCD TVs, as was amply demonstrated by the ViewSonic we recently reviewed.

Sony Vaio VGN-AR11S review

Reviews Although it looks fine for the US market, UK consumers might not like the generous use of chrome around the laptop's outside edge. Sony's Vaio VGN-AR11S is the first laptop to use an integrated Blu-ray drive.
