Olympus u [mju:]-mini Digital review

Reviews The Olympus µ-mini Digital's sexy design is sure to attract the attention of photographers using more conventional digital compacts, but so-so image quality and middle-of-the-road performance hamper this study in style over substance.

Acer Aspire 2930 preview

Reviews UpsidesThe Acer Aspire 2930 is a relatively compact laptop and is obviously designed for life on the road. OutlookThe Aspire 2930 looks like it's shaping up to be a very good option for those who need a powerful portable machine for life on the road.

Route 66 Maxi review

Reviews The search engine will allow you type in parts of an address, so instead of typing 'Boldmere Road' you could type 'Bold Ro' and the system will display the closest matches. Voice directions were clearly spoken and accurate but you won't find a text...

TomTom GO 920T review

Reviews Text-to-speech is evident throughout the device, with the voice being able to read back tips, weather forecast, traffic information and road names. Voice directions were spoken clearly and its text-to- speech for pronouncing road names was accurate...

Garmin nuvi 250W review

Reviews The 109mm (4.3-inch) widescreen display is bright and colourful, with colour-coded 3D maps that should minimise the chance of driving down an alleyway instead of a real road. For instance, it won't speak road names out loud -- potentially confusing...

TomTom GO 930 Traffic review

Reviews Route calculations are now blessed with the much-hyped IQ Routes technology, which is based on real average speeds, rather than static maximum speeds by road type. Voice directions were spoken clearly and its text-to-speech for pronouncing road...

Which kind of laptop is right for me?

Reviews If you spend a lot of time on the road, size and weight are the two most critical factors in choosing a new laptop -- even if it means sacrificing a little on performance and features. If you rely on the same laptop at work, at home and on the road...

Lenovo ThinkPad X41 review

Reviews FeaturesThe ThinkPad X41's basic connections for the office or the road include external VGA monitor, audio, and two USB 2.0 ports. Still, we think the ThinkPad X41 is the better choice for the corporate road warrior.

Medion GoPal PNA470 review

Reviews Selecting a street with the stylus occasionally pulled up the name of the neighbouring road, and the names of some common city streets simply weren't shown at all. Voice guidance attempts to speak road names out loud.

Navigon 5110 review

Reviews Though the voice calculations are clear and precise, it has no text-to-speech support so road names are not spoken. It does speak major 'A' road names such as 'turn left onto the A5127'. The 5110 is Navigon's latest dedicated GPS receiver, which...

Garmin iQue 3000 review

Reviews In addition to the iQue 3000, Garmin includes all you'll need to hit the road. As with other GPS handhelds on the market, there's no desktop cradle, emphasising the road-warrior image of the iQue 3000.FeaturesThe Garmin iQue 3000 comes with the...

TomTom GO 910 review

Reviews In the UK it supports full postcode navigation, and also allows you to enter a street name or road intersection as a destination. The majority of the space shows your progress along the road, with a small strip along the top indicating the road you...

Toshiba Satellite L300 review

Reviews Anyway, we doubt the L300 will appeal to those who are constantly on the road -- at 2.49kg it's a tad on the heavy side. ConclusionThe L300's weight and short battery life mean it's not suitable for road warriors.

Fujitsu Siemens LifeBook E8410 review
