Asus Eee PC S101 review
Reviews It's almost inevitable it'll make a Linux model though, so watch this space.The total storage capacity is technically 52GB. With the S101, the Eee PC has finally grown up. It's been completely redesigned so it's sexier, lighter, and more appealing...

Dell Dimension 5100 review
Reviews You'll have to install Linux or wait for future versions of Windows before your 5100 can be driven to its limits. Eschewing the traditional bland beige-and-black cases popular with most PC manufacturers, Dell has taken a bold new direction with the...

Cowon iAudio 7 review
Reviews There's a whole heap of EQ and playback options, much more than competing players, and it'll work with Windows, Macs and Linux! Cowon's iAudio 7 is the latest and supposedly greatest MP3 player to take a swing at Apple's iPod nano.

Humax LGB-19DRT review
Reviews We're sure a determined and skilled user could use Linux to get at the files, but it's too much hassle for most of us. Obviously, you won't be wanting a 40-inch LCD for the kids' bedroom, but something a little smaller might fit the bill.

Packard Bell EasyNote XS review

TrekStor vibez review
Reviews The player is compatible with Mac OS X and Linux, as well as Windows. Its rubber scroll wheel is the most obvious characteristic, along with its unusual 12GB hard drive.As with all products in this area, the £149 vibez is up against the dominant iPod.

Philips WACS700 review
Reviews The WACS700 will play back WMA files, but iTunes users won't be able to play their AAC files, nor will the Linux faithful have any luck with their championed format, Ogg Vorbis. The pithily named WACS700 consists of a base unit and a slave unit to...

Asus Nova Lite Mini 2L review
Reviews Asus offers retailers the option of Windows XP Basic, Vista Home Premium, Vista Home Basic and even Linux. They're sometimes expensive and often not very fast, but they give us a break from the plethora of garish gaming rigs and dull student boxes...

OLPC XO-1 (One Laptop Per Child) review
Reviews Forget Vista or even XP -- the XO-1 struggles to run Linux under a super-minimalist GUI called Sugar. Nicolas Negroponte's ambitious plan to bridge the global digital divide has borne fruit at last. The XO-1 costs twice as much -- $200 (£100) -- as...

Archos 105 review
Reviews Files can simply be dragged and dropped through Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, or using Windows Media Player. But high-capacity video and Internet devices aren't the only strings to the Archos bow; the 105 is a cute little music and video player that...

Cowon iAudio D2 DMB (DAB) review
Reviews Music, video and indeed all files can be organised into folders simply through Windows Explorer (or the Mac and Linux equivalents). Now, it has upped the spec on the flash-based player to include a DAB radio.

HP Mini 1000 review
Reviews That combo of Intel's Atom CPU, 1GB of RAM, and Windows XP (a Linux version of the Mini 1000 will be released in early 2009) is found in almost every current netbook, so it's not surprising that we saw no real performance difference between the...
