Samsung SE-S084 Super WriteMaster Slim External DVD writer
Will this bring a much needed feature to your netbook? 3 August 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Slim, quick, no drivers required

The Bad
Build quality could be better, USB cable could be longer

Verdict
While we were expecting a slightly more robust drive considering its thin travel-friendly form factor, we can't complain on the overall performance of the drive

Roxio Popcorn 4 - Mac
A tasty solution to your video authoring needs? 12 November 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Interface, ease of use, format flexibility, price

The Bad
Only works with unprotected sources (though we can’t encourage you to breach copyright, of course!), Intel-based Mac compatibility only

Verdict
Fast, easy to use and with great format flexibility, this, the latest version of Popcorn, is certainly the best yet

Moon - DVD
Out of this world? 13 November 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Plenty – great from top to bottom, from script to set design to soundtrack

The Bad
Maybe sci-fi fans weaned on an diet of CGI bangs and crashes may find it a tad ponderous, but they’re fools if they think that

Verdict
For a debut picture, and one made on such a relatively small budget, it’s effortlessly grandiose and expertly executed – its design is flawless, from the classic 70s space station chic to the perfectly pitched atmospheric soundtrack

Price
£19.99
Toshiba XDE-600 DVD player
1080p upscaling, and then some 20 October 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
XDE processing, USB port, price

The Bad
Non-XDE pictures

Verdict
A terrific upscaling DVD deck that uses XDE picture processing to devastating effect - just make sure you keep it turned on

Price
£70
Terminator Salvation - DVD
Can Bale save mankind? 20 November 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Sam Worthington comes out of this in credit, plus there’s a neat kinda-cameo

The Bad
The single-disc package is inexcusably free of extras, while Christian Bale’s career arc is fast becoming very tiresome

Verdict
For all its flaws, Terminator Salvation is still a totally watchable actioner that clocks in under a comfortable 2 hours. But sadly, given the heritage, that’s not quite enough

Price
£19.99
Toshiba Regza 55SV685DB television
Flawed genius 3 November 2009 9:30 GMT

The Good
Superb contrast, high-def detail, great showcase screen for Blu-ray

The Bad
Frustrating remote control and onscreen menus, cumbersome DLNA networking, disappointing upscaling, expensive

Verdict
Toshiba has created a Full HD marvel that uses its LED backlighting to create astonishingly deep blacks and rich colours for a LCD TV, but its £4,500 price tag proves it's downfall

Price
£4,500
HP Envy 15 1060ea notebook
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

Price
£1199
Public Enemies - DVD
Another Michael Mann classic? 30 October 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
It’s beautifully shot, with some sumptuous photography

The Bad
It feels like it doesn’t do enough with its subject matter, while Bale is fast developing into a predictable and tedious character rut

Verdict
Undoubtedly suave, beautifully shot and smoothly put together, Public Enemies still weirdly fails to hit the spot

Price
£19.99
Coraline - DVD
A 3D spectacular for the kids? 25 September 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Some interesting characters save what could have been a very slow film, animation is lovely and endearing, it's in 3D

The Bad
3D does take some time getting used to, storyline is slow, very dark and moody

Verdict
Coraline is an endearing film that will appeal to your fairytale sensibilities

Price
£19.99
X-Men Origins: Wolverine - DVD
Is this just a case of franchise expansion? 16 October 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
It’s a solid companion to the X-Men trilogy, and Hugh Jackman effortlessly nails the part. And surprisingly, the appearance of The Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am causes no distress

The Bad
Some underwhelming casting and the sense that franchise expansion was the prime aim

Verdict
It’s a dynamic, entertaining and solid piece of cinema that won’t disappoint fans of the series - yet it won’t wow them either

Price
£19.99
Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle - DVD
A masterclass in delivery and material? 4 September 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
An unending stream of devastating gags and observations faultlessly delivered

The Bad
It loses its potency when it shifts from weightier subject matter and the linking sketches are fairly patchy

Verdict
Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle is a comedy essential, a masterclass in delivery and material; playfully offering a cultural signpost to a better world where mediocrity is no longer acceptable as currency

Price
£19.99
Drag Me To Hell - DVD
Can Raimi still put the frighteners on? 23 October 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Sam Raimi’s flair for horror remains intact, as does his eye for memorably twisted set-pieces

The Bad
It feels shorter than its 1hr 40m running time, and the thin extras on the standard DVD make the single-disc package feel a touch on the light side. And where's Bruce Campbell?

Verdict
Swapping brutality for good old-fashioned primal fear and imagination, Drag Me To Hell turns out as a striking, enjoyable, and at times startlingly visceral shocker

Price
£19.99
Apple Mac mini 2.53GHz
An ideal starter Mac? 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

Price
£649
Sony BDP-S360 Blu-ray player
Get the Blu-ray basics from this budget deck 13 October 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Rich detailed pictures, BD Live, operating system

The Bad
Limited media support, no USB media playback, clunky disc loading

Verdict
A basic but likeable entry-level Blu-ray player, although the similarly-priced Samsung gives you more for your money

Price
£200
Synecdoche, New York - DVD
One for the discerning viewer? 9 October 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Deft and imaginative storytelling that weaves a remarkable tale of incredible richness

The Bad
Its David Lynch-esque quirks and overly gentle pacing make it hard work for casual viewers seeking some easy thrills

Verdict
Synecdoche rejects comfortable predictability and as a result is a heartfelt philosophical piece that’s astounding in both its vision and execution

Price
£15.99
Droid by Motorola mobile phone
Is this the Android handset to own? 30 October 2009 20:09 GMT

The Good
Screen, Verizon network, Wi-Fi, QWERTY keyboard

The Bad
No multi-touch browsing, no emotion

Verdict
This is a fantastic phone, but would we personally choose it over the Hero? Not, if the Hero, as suggested by HTC, will be getting Android 2.0

Price
£$199.99
Philips PET744 portable DVD player
Portable player with promise? 26 August 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Swivel screen mount, car kit included, 6 hours battery life, anti-glare screen

The Bad
Build quality not brilliant, limited file support

Verdict
Whilst we aren't entirely sold on the build quality, we like the practicality of the swivel screen design and the considerate steps taken by Philips to make the PET744 user friendly

Price
£149
Panasonic DMR-EX769 DVD recorder
A Freeview recording, DVD burning, star? 12 May 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Plenty of options, great DVD playback

The Bad
Menus a little basic in appearance, single tuner only, power save mode makes it a slow starter

Verdict
The EX769 excels in DVD playback and in pure simplicity for HDD and DVD recording, but does have some drawbacks

Price
£250
Samsung R519 notebook
Looking for a budget notebook? 21 September 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Well-made, comfortable keyboard, outstanding value

The Bad
Painfully dull design, location of all the ports

Verdict
It’s not the quickest machine, but few laptops offer better value than the Samsung R519, costing less money than the average smartphone

Price
£385
Observe and Report - DVD
"I thought this was gonna be funny, but it’s actually quite sad" 25 September 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Seth Rogan’s mom gets all the bomb one-liners, and swell rapping swear-fountain Amanda Blank features on the soundtrack

The Bad
The sense that this could have been plenty better – Rogan, Liotta and Faris aren’t given anyway near good enough material to work with here

Verdict
“You know, I thought this was gonna be funny, but it’s actually quite sad”. That says it all

Price
£15.99
Packard Bell EasyNote TJ65 notebook
A budget model, but does it impress? 14 September 2009 9:19 GMT

The Good
Stylish and well-made, a great keyboard and well specified for the money

The Bad
Budget processor, could be faster

Verdict
Look elsewhere if you need outright power, but if you’re looking for a budget machine offering quality, comfort and style, then the Packard Bell TJ65 is well worth a look

Price
£480
Crank: High Voltage - DVD
A wind-up or a turn-on? 11 September 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
The insanely paced, tongue-in-cheek direction means it’s never less than totally compelling

The Bad
Despite its dubious merits it’s also visibly risible, and just as likely to aggravate as amuse. And Geri Halliwell makes an appearance. I repeat, Geri Halliwell makes an appearance

Verdict
An absurdist bonanza of sex and violence that delivers a constant stream of gags and shocks, Crank: High Voltage will simultaneously appal and enthral – indifference isn’t an option

Price
£17.99
In The Loop - DVD
A Britcom hit? 21 August 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
The greatest collection of one-liners ever assembled – and the incomparable Malcolm Tucker

The Bad
James Gandolfini’s presence feels little more than a decorative bauble

Verdict
Savvy, cool, funny, hugely likable and utterly memorable, In The Loop is must-viewing for anybody with even the vaguest passing interest in Britcoms

Price
£17.99

Are you having trouble finding what you are looking for? Below are a few tips that should help you get the best results from our search engine.

Be Specific

Try to think of words that would best describe the product such who makes it or how many megapixels it has. Our search engine does not recognize "and", "or" "the" or similar words so don't worry about putting them in as search terms.

Spelling

Typos are the most common reason for unsatisfactory search results. If you're not sure how to spell a product or brand name try a more general term.

Tags

If you still can't find what you are looking for, then why not try our tag index where we have tags all our stories with words we think will help you find information quickly. You can choose to look at the tags either via which are the most popular, or via an alphabetical list.
