Jamo i300 review
Reviews First up for testing was Slam by Pendulum. With a powerful 150W sub and two weighty 75W satellite speakers, this iPod-ready £250 sound system looks the business, but will it remain standing throughout our rigorous testing?

Philips GoGear HDD6320 Jukebox (30GB) review
Reviews They sounded great in our testing, producing an even, rich tone with enough bass, although they leak sound so that music at higher volumes can easily be heard by others. Although we have heard some reports of the HDD6320 suffering from processor...

Pioneer DVR-520H review
Reviews DesignThe first thing we noticed about the DVR-520H is that it's only 50mm high (419 by 304 by 50mm), a welcome change from the 76mm tall (or taller) DVD/HDD combinations we've been testing. PerformanceThe DVR-520H scored highly in our performance...

Apple iPod Shuffle (2nd generation) review
Reviews Some users have complained that the clip isn't very durable, but it seemed sturdy during our testing. In cursory testing, we found the Shuffle's audio quality to be decent through the included earbuds, but bass was lacking, and we could detect some...

Sharp Aquos LC-15L1E review
Reviews We tested the hook-up by plugging the included IR blaster into the base station and running its two emitters to the IR receiving ports of various gear in our A/V testing room. Our environment is pretty crowded; there were no fewer than eight...

Creative Zen Micro (5GB) review
Reviews The sturdy, plastic casing withstood a couple of short, accidental drops during testing. However, in our testing, WMP deleted what was already on our player after it had added new files from the WMP library; you'll need to manually configure WMP...

Intel Classmate PC review
Reviews In anecdotal testing, it was surprising to see Windows XP run so smoothly on a system with only 256MB of RAM. Intel Classmate PC, but in informal testing, we were able to use the system for about three hours while running a light mix of tasks...

Canon EOS 400D review
Reviews It fared slightly better in our testing, though the 7-second lag before you can continue shooting can be frustrating. We did most of our testing with the kit lens. Changing sensors isn't normally considered terribly daring when it comes to digital...

Reviews We had a little PVP action while testing the display with World of Warcraft. We noticed a little backlight bleedthrough on the top corners in a pitch-black testing room, but saw absolutely none in normal room lighting.

Dell UltraSharp 2707WFP review
Reviews Of course the large screen does facilitate sitting further from the screen, which we'd recommend after our testing. All these factors explain some of our observations during testing, including soft, grainy, noisy video on the one hand but sharp...
