Intempo Rebel review

Reviews The tuning buttons either skip through the FM spectrum or MP3 tunes, and the Rebel continues to sample even when set to zero volume. If you connect up an iPod via the line-in socket to use it as a dock, it will even sample and copy songs from your...

Acer Aspire 2930 preview

Reviews We'd expect the final production version of this laptop to perform slightly better than this engineering sample. In the case of our sample, the new chip is the Core 2 Duo T9400, which runs at 2.53GHz.

BenQ E72 review

Reviews Our sample did not come with headphones, but we assume these use the mini-USB port, too, as there's no other connector. With 128MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM, our review sample had 26MB of storage free after a hard reset.

Alienware Area-51 7500 review

Reviews Our black review sample came with red LEDs, making the entire system look like it was inspired by LG's KG800 Chocolate phone. Our review sample cost a whopping £2,092 and it's easy to see why. That's because the card in our review sample is a 640MB...

Asus Eee PC 701 review

Reviews The modem jack on our review sample was blanked out, as there's no internal modem, but there's an adjacent Ethernet port so you can connect to a wired network. We did not see this implemented on our review sample.

Evesham Mini PC Plus review

Reviews Our specific review sample, the Mini PC Plus, sits a notch down from the top end. Our review sample, complete with its 2GHz Core 2 Duo processor, racked up some fairly impressive performance figures. Like the original Mini PC, it uses a chassis...

rock Meivo-E4300 review

Reviews Our sample uses an Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 CPU clocked at 1.8GHz, but for £100 extra you can plump for the 1.86GHz -- if you really need that extra 600MHz. Our sample never got too loud or too hot -- a desirable quality in a Media Center PC.

HP Compaq 2710p review

Reviews The top part of the screen bezel can house a webcam, although our review sample did not have one fitted. Our review sample had at its heart a 1.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 processor and 1GB of RAM, upgradable to a maximum of 4GB.

Canon Digital IXUS 960 IS review

Reviews In our review sample, the finder cut off a significant portion of the bottom of the frame, though that may vary from one sample to the next. Sometimes, when we find ourselves running full speed forward towards what we think is the pinnacle of...

Sony Vaio NR series (VGN-NR11Z/S) review

E-TEN Glofiish V900 review

Reviews We tried this with a few sample business cards and it worked well enough. After a hard reset, our review sample reported 110MB of free storage memory. Despite the V900's 533MHz Samsung S3C 6400 processor, we found our review sample a little slow to...

Asus N50V preview

Reviews Our sample of the N50V came with no operating system at all, but final versions are expected to ship with a version of Windows Vista. Within hours, our sample had lost its looks and turned into a giant, smudge-infested mess.
