InFocus ScreenPlay 777 review

Reviews For true home cinema fans, the arrival of 3-chip DLP projectors was perhaps even more significant than flatscreen TVs. The contrast ratio and brightness are also way ahead of one-chip devices. Although the 777's price has dropped by half over a...

Advent 9515 review

Reviews Unlike most laptop manufacturers, Advent chooses to use an AMD chip in its 9515 machine rather than an Intel processor. The 2GHz Turion 64X2 TL60 chip and 2GB of RAM still managed to achieve a respectable PCMark05 score of 3,142.

JVC GR-X5 review

E-TEN glofiish M810 review

Reviews On top of this, E-TEN has added an onboard SiRF Star III GPS chip. It's got plenty of extras, including an onboard GPS chip, but at around £435 SIM-free from expansys, it's not exactly cheap. Bizarrely, although it uses quite a speedy processor - a...
