Apple Magic Mouse
Is this worth the fingering?
30 October 2009 8:38 GMT
- The Good
- Touch scrolling up and down is a breeze
- The Bad
- Side swipe is hard to master
- Verdict

- Excellent audio quality, decent set of ‘bud earphones supplied, bright and colourful display, good value for money
- The Bad
- Touchscreen operation isn’t overly responsive, no dedicated volume controls

23 October 2009 9:00 GMT
- The Good
- Compact design, near silent operation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and plenty of power
- The Bad
- No SD card slot, USB slots close
- Verdict
- So there are few niggles with the Mac mini. It's the usual seamless operation we've come to expect from Apple. You take it out of the box and it just works. With the upgrades coming in at the same prices as the last versions, the new Mac mini looks very tempting indeed

BlackBerry Bold 9700 - First Look
An update worth getting excited about? 21 October 2009 19:04 GMT- The Good
- Great keyboard, excellent screen
- The Bad
- Nothing in the user interface has really changed
- Verdict
- Overall, in our short time with the device, the Bold 9700 seems like a solid improvement on the old Bold. It doesn't do anything terribly revolutionary - focusing on the communications experience above everything else - but it's a solid smartphone choice for those who put messaging above everything else
- Price
- £Dependent on contract

HP goes MacBook crazy
19 November 2009 9:56 GMT
- The Good
- Plenty of power, sensational design, excellent finish, great keyboard
- The Bad
- Battery life, spec doesn't match US versions, some fan noise
- Verdict
- We love what HP have done from a design perspective and the time and effort they have put into creating a great looking notebook will appeal to some users, who will be happy to pay the premium price this notebook commands. For some though, the asking price might just be too high

- The Good
- QWERTY keyboard, Flash video support
- The Bad
- Plastic, too many buttons, S60 looks staid

Apple iPod nano 5th gen - First Look
Is it worth the upgrade? 9 September 2009 21:17 GMT- The Good
- Video camera is a useful addition, core functionality remains great
- The Bad
- Lack of still photo taking capability is disappointing, price is always high with Apple
- Verdict
- Only the omission of a stills setting left us scratching our heads, but that doesn't detract much from what seems, from our brief play, to us to be an excellent, if overpriced, MP3 player and mini video recorder
- Price
- £115
-
Apple iPod nano (5th Gen)
So just how good is this video camera?
14 September 2009 15:59 GMT
- The Good
- Every bit as good as the last plus an FM radio and a bigger screen
- The Bad
- Camera resolution is dated, performance in low light is poor, it won't take stills and it's all too easy to cover up by accident
- Verdict
- If you could buy the 4th gen at a discount it would be worth it but it's still a very good MP3 player no matter the imaging

- £135 (16GB)

Coolest speaker around?
9 October 2009 16:00 GMT
- The Good
- Fairly inexpensive, balanced sound, looks pretty cool (if you're a teenager)

- Not particularly durable, can't charge while playing, no auto switch off, needs to face away from you for best sound
- Verdict
- The Headphonies have a few design flaws, but once you get used to this – it does what it's meant to. It's a portable speaker that stands out from the crowd

- The Good
- Wonderfully fast, fantastically smooth and still a dream to hold
- The Bad
- Serious camera disappointment, bad headphones and fairly pricey
