Best music phones with standard 3.5mm sockets

Reviews If you buy a car, you'd be within your rights to take it back if the only way you could use the wheels was by using an adaptor. For that reason, we always mark down music phones that require some crappy adaptor so you can connect your own headphones.

Dell XPS M1710 (Core 2 Duo) review

Reviews Our test unit weighed 3.99kg (4.63kg pounds with its AC adaptor) -- a fraction more than the Gateway NX850XL, but nearly 700g more than the compact Toshiba Satellite P105. Also new with this iteration is a built-in Draft 802.11n wireless adaptor...

Canon i80 review

Reviews The i80 can also be powered from your car's cigarette lighter -- again, with an optional adaptor. Unfortunately, most of them cost extra: the car adaptor, Bluetooth adaptor, battery kit, and cradle kit all cost extra.

Samsung SPP-2040 photo printer review

Reviews However, this 300x300dpi photo lab is more transportable than portable and probably should come with a carry case for the bulky paper tray, the AC adaptor and the other accessories you may need. Samsung recommends allocating an extra 200mm of space...

Canon Pixma iP90 review

Reviews You can also add Bluetooth functionality, a battery or a power adaptor for your car. If you want to charge your new battery from the cigarette lighter in your rental car, you can tack on the £64 car adaptor.

Archos 404 review

Reviews Though the 190g device doesn't record audio or video out of the box (you'll need to pony up either for the £62 dock or the £44 adaptor), it's still a nice deal at less than £200. You'll also have to contend with the proprietary USB cable and weak...

Panasonic TH42PE50 review

Reviews Sure, the TH42PE50's picture quality is very nice, the Freeview adaptor is very welcome, and the ability to record to SD card may appeal to those with portable video players. The TH42PE50 disagrees with this convention, so you'll need to buy a...

Devolo dLAN 200 AVdesk Starter Kit review

Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch, 2.33GHz) review

Reviews Weighing just 3.1kg (3.4kg with the AC adaptor), it's easily the lightest desktop-replacement laptop we've seen. The MacBook's AC adaptor connects magnetically to the laptop, so if you accidentally trip over the cord, it will simply detach instead...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 review

Reviews You won't be putting this camera in your pocket, but you'll barely know it's there when it's slung over your shoulder or around your neck.In the box, you'll find a lens adaptor that accommodates the bundled lens hood and optional filters.
