    Mazda CX5 2.2 TDI AWD review

    4.0 REVIEW A very zoomy SUV 22 May 2012 18:22 GMT

    Talking to the Mazda team, it's interesting to hear how the company views itself, and even more interesting to hear how the firm is introducing some pretty interesting engineering techniques to make its cars better, and its production lines even more...

    Cisco Linksys X3000 review

    3.0 REVIEW One for basic users 18 May 2012 17:03 GMT

    We're on the hunt for the best domestic router we can find. Why? Because routers play a huge part in your home these days, and too many of them are utter rubbish.

    Cisco is one of the biggest names in networking hardware, and its name carries...

    Porsche Cayman S review

    4.5 REVIEW Brash and brilliant fun 15 May 2012 17:59 GMT

    "Would you like to drive a Porsche around the south of France?" is the kind of question which - like, "Would you like either a kick in the crown jewels, or this gold ingot?"  - doesn’t require a lot of thinking about. "Yes," we replied,...

    Tesla Roadster review

    4.5 REVIEW The spark of attraction 14 May 2012 9:17 GMT

    We find people fall in to two categories: those who love electric cars, and think they're the future, and those who don't want to give up on petrol. It is, perhaps, unsurprising that we, as gadget and technology lovers, find the idea of electric cars...

    Motorola Defy Mini review

    1.5 REVIEW We Defy you to ignore our advice 7 May 2012 17:13 GMT

    We reviewed the Motorola Defy+ some time ago, and we didn't care for it. Not at all. So when the Defy Mini arrived, we couldn't see our hearts splitting in half with the love. And we aren't sure why it's called the Defy Mini either, because it's not...

    HTC DG H200 Media Link HD review

    4.0 REVIEW Small but fun 3 May 2012 16:49 GMT

    One of our bugbears with DLNA, the home media-streaming standard, is that it's a bit of a pain to use. A standard it may be, but simple across every device you use, it most certainly is not. So HTC's Media Link HD is an interesting proposition. It's...

    Asus Transformer Pad TF300T review

    4.5 REVIEW Transforms your money in to a great tablet 2 May 2012 18:22 GMT

    Asus blew our minds with the original Transformer. A tablet with a keyboard, we muttered, surely that's just a laptop running Android? But no, in fact it was a very clever idea: build a terrific tablet, that's both stylish and powerful, then offer...

    Sony SmartWatch review

    3.0 REVIEW Not as smart as your phone 30 April 2012 16:10 GMT

    The idea of a Bluetooth watch that keeps you updated about phonecalls, text message and tweets and allows you to get yourself into Eighties teen comedy style scrapes with a spy camera, is almost too cool to be true.

    So we've spent some time...

    Amazon Kindle Touch 3G review

    4.5 REVIEW Getting a bit touchy 24 April 2012 19:22 GMT

    It wasn't all that long ago that we reviewed the new Kindle. As you might imagine, we loved it. This is, after all, the best known and best designed ebook reader on the market. It's simple, cheap, and pretty much single-purpose. What it does, it does...

    HP Envy 14 Spectre review

    4.5 REVIEW The Ultrabook that isn't an Ultrabook 23 April 2012 17:30 GMT

    What's in a name? In the case of the HP Envy 14 Spectre, a lot of really confusing nonsense. Of course, it's better than the model numbers you get with TVs, but even so it's very hard to work out what Spectre really has to do with anything - although...

    Huawei Ascend G300 review

    4.5 REVIEW Big bang for your hundred quid 16 April 2012 18:25 GMT

    If you're a mobile operator that doesn't have a £100 Android handset for your pay-as-you-go customers, then you're very silly indeed. The leaders in this area are T-Mobile and Orange, who have very capable phones in this price range. Orange has the...

    Samsung 530U Series 5 Ultrabook review

    4.0 REVIEW Function over form 12 April 2012 19:19 GMT

    When we look at the new Samsung 530U, we aren't filled with the same sense of excitement that we were when we took the Dell XPS 13 out of its box. The Samsung, in fact, looks more like a regular laptop than it does an Ultrabook. But none of that matters...

    Toshiba AT-200 review

    3.0 REVIEW Better than the last one 10 April 2012 17:51 GMT

    Pocket-lint regulars might remember that we reviewed the Toshiba AT100 and utterly despised its cheap and nasty design and uninspired features. Happily, then, the firm has just started to sell its new and much-updated version of the tablet. The AT200,...

    Dell XPS 13 review

    4.5 REVIEW The best Ultrabook you can buy 4 April 2012 19:20 GMT

    It has for some time been a source of great irritation to us that PC manufacturers just don't seem able to produce computers that look as impressive as Apple's MacBook Air. Ultrabooks provided something of an improvement in the situation, but even...

    Nikon D800 review

    4.5 REVIEW This is the camera you've been waiting for 2 April 2012 16:09 GMT

    Several years ago, Nikon announced the D90 - the first digital SLR that could record video. Clips were short, at under five minutes, and restricted to 720p, but it was the start of a revolution. And we’re not exaggerating, because SLR-based video...

    Humax Tivizen TV review

    3.5 REVIEW TV on your phone or tablet 27 March 2012 14:10 GMT

    There are various ways to watch TV on your iOS device, or Android phone or tablet but there aren't any that match the simplicity or convenience of Freeview on a normal TV.

    The Humax Tivizen aims to help with that, offering a DVB-T (read Freeview)...

    Popcorn Hour C-300 review

    4.0 REVIEW The king of media players 22 March 2012 16:06 GMT

    Accessing the video on your home network, or playing files from USB devices is one of the growth areas for home cinema. And no device offers more options than the Popcorn Hour C-300, with incredible video format support and outstanding upgrade options,...

    Roku 2 XS review

    3.5 REVIEW Tiny but powerful media player 16 March 2012 18:52 GMT

    TV is changing, and it's happening quickly. As recently as 10 years ago, the idea of TV being delivered over the internet was a pipe dream. Now, we can watch near-broadcast quality video, streamed to us over the internet with a wait of just a few seconds.

    This...

    Philips Fidelio L1 headphones review

    4.5 REVIEW Like having a Hi-Fi on your head 14 March 2012 16:55 GMT

    Philips told us it considers itself to be, first and foremost, a high-end audio brand. We've seen some evidence of this in its TVs, to be honest. It's one of few firms that takes TV sound seriously, and the results are always impressive. Its iPod and...

    T-Mobile Vivacity review

    3.5 REVIEW It's a bargain 9 March 2012 18:36 GMT

    There are lots of different cars to choose from, which is good, because if the only car you could buy was a Porsche, then not that many people would be able to afford cars. And so the same is true with phones. The best phones - your high-end Android...

    Western Digital MyBook Live Duo review

    4.0 REVIEW Keep your data safe 7 March 2012 13:22 GMT

    Firms like Western Digital are always telling us not to wait until a drive fails to invest in some backup solutions. And people like us are always ignoring them, assuming that it will never happen to us. Well, it did happen to us, and it was only once...

    Epson Moverio BT-100 review

    2.5 REVIEW Google Android-powered goggles 21 February 2012 10:00 GMT

    Projector specialists Epson are exceptionally good at video projectors. But not everyone can have a projector, and they more often than not aren't portable. So the Moverio glasses are designed to give you a projector experience, with some portable...

    Oxx Pocket DAB Radio review

    4.5 REVIEW DAB everywhere you go 14 February 2012 10:00 GMT

    When DAB radios first went on sale a lot of people asked where the portable ones were. FM, after all has for many years been available in easily portable form. Sadly, DAB required - especially at launch - a great deal of bulky electronics, and had...

    4.0 REVIEW Sleek and desirable Nokia 10 February 2012 15:45 GMT

    If you ever needed evidence that the mighty can fall, then take a look at Nokia. A firm that was unstoppable until the iPhone was launched, it has since faltered and stumbled at every step. Or so it seems to some commentators. Perhaps the firm ignored...

    Creative WP-350 Bluetooth headphones review

    3.5 REVIEW Wire-free fun 9 February 2012 16:30 GMT

    People of a certain age will remember that, at one time, Creative Labs was the only name that mattered when it came to PC sound. Sadly for the company, the PC market has dried up substantially. So it began to focus more on MP3 players and other audio...
