A mouse to take on your travels? 22 October 2009 9:53 GMT

Small, portable, and full of useful features

Becomes uncomfortable with protracted usage

Verdict
Great addition to a mobile worker's laptop bag

Price
£34.99

Fast boot times, free

Microsoft Zune HD MP3 player
Should you sign up? 16 October 2009 19:05 GMT

The Good
OLED screen, Zune Pass, interface, software, Tegra chip for graphics

The Bad
App selection is week

Verdict
Lots of potential, but at the moment very much a wait and see unless that Zune Pass really is what you're after

Price

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

Easy to use, quick to install, stable, great for both work and play

HP Mini 311 notebook
Can this be the HD netbook you've always wished for? 24 November 2009 14:02 GMT

The Good
Nvidia ION chip, screen, design, performance

The Bad
Only does 720p not 1080p, trackpad is okay but not great, £349 is just the starting price

Verdict
This isn't the answer to everything, however if you want to watch or play movies and games on occasion as long as you aren't too demanding then the HP mini should serve you nicely

Price
£349/399
HTC HD2 mobile phone
Does Windows Mobile finally make Sense? 3 November 2009 21:52 GMT

The Good
HTC Sense makes Windows Mobile user friendly, Wi-Fi router option is great, fully packed tech specs

The Bad
Might be just too big for some, Windows Market Place still lacking, sharp edge makes calls uncomfortable

Verdict
A giant phone that achieves giant things. It's the best Windows Phone we've ever seen

Price

Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000
Can this shortcut your Windows 7 experience? 6 August 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Plenty of quick keys to get you shortcutitng around the new OS, ergonomic design, mouse included in the price

The Bad
Wristpad feels weird, mouse feels cheap, pricey

Verdict
If you've already signed up to Windows 7 and are in the market for a new keyboard this is one to check out

Price
£47
Windows Mobile 6.5
Has Windows Mobile found its vibe? 7 October 2009 8:55 GMT

The Good
New homepage and honeycomb menu, MyPhone sync is great

The Bad
Dive into the menus and options and it is still that same old Windows Mobile, small button presses still require a stylus on occasion

Verdict
The choices are almost overwhelming, but cut to its core Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't drastically different from its predecessors. Having seen the stark difference between device performance today, it is clear that there will still be "good" and "bad" devices to choose from

Price

Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) Slim console
Is the time right to buy a PS3? 11 November 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good

The PlayStation 3 Slim is an accomplished piece of home entertainment hardware, with something for everyone on offer

Price
£249
INQ Mini 3G mobile phone
Social mobiling on a budget? 29 October 2009 15:24 GMT

The Good
Social network integration, affordable, HSDPA

The Bad
Poor keyboard, no 3.5mm jack, no FM radio, could take a step further with integration

Verdict
For those who want a compact and affordable phone, which offers the integration of the major social networks, then the INQ Mini 3G is well worth a look. But do try the keyboard as we found this the most annoying aspect of the device

Price
£Dependent on contract
HTC Touch2 mobile phone
A new era of Windows Phones? 6 October 2009 10:30 GMT

The Good
HTC additions resolve clunky Windows Mobile 6.5 issues, FM radio, compact

The Bad
Windows Mobile 6.5 still offers a poor user experience, screen not the best

Verdict
Windows Mobile 6.5 brings some superficial tweaks, but deep down the OS fails to deliver the experience of its rivals. The HTC Touch2 is well specced but doesn't bring the consumer joy that other devices do, but will suit some looking for a compact business device

Exspect Drop 'N' Charge for Xbox 360
Will this put some charge into your gaming? 29 September 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
It does what it says, can charge two batteries at the same time

The Bad
Low capacity battery supplied, slow charger

Verdict
The Drop 'N' Charge does exactly what it claims, but in the pursuit of a flash solution, you might find yourself with only a third of the battery life of cheaper alternatives

Price
£29.99
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
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
HTC HD2 - First Look
Multi-touch, Sense UI, 4.3-inch behemoth 7 October 2009 11:05 GMT

The Good
Power is evident, excellent design, staggering weather app, screen

The Bad
Might just be too big to use as a phone

Verdict
In the HTC HD2 you can see years of experience in dealing with Windows Mobile devices. The quality of the build and the construction, combined with HTC's Sense skin on Windows Mobile puts it a step ahead of rivals in this super screen size

Sony PRS-600 Reader Touch Edition ebook - First Look
Are the days of the paperback finally over? 26 August 2009 12:11 GMT

The Good
Open standard, touchscreen, note taking, free library loans

Still expensive, no wireless or 3G connectivity

Verdict
The reasonable price point and open standard approach mean this is likely to be a killer success when it hits stores in the coming months

Price
£259/$299
Packard Bell dot m/a notebook
An AMD netbook (ish) 31 August 2009 10:06 GMT

The Good
Screen resolution, software bundle, 3G modem option

The Bad
Keyboard not great, battery life, screen reflection (for mobile use)

Verdict
Closer to a low-powered notebook than a netbook, the dot m/a will suit those looking for a compact machine for general low demand computing tasks

Price
£349
Apple OS X Snow Leopard - Mac
New OS or just an update? 28 August 2009 21:46 GMT

The Good
Speed improvements in core features, price, some neat tweaks

The Bad
Some might question having to pay for it, needs third party application updates for full benefits to come through

Verdict
We'd like to think that Apple was in the position with Leopard to apply an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality and that's what Snow Leopard feels like. It makes Leopard run like you think it should be running. For us, that's enough, we like the changes, but we’ll forgive the cynics who see this as a simple update

ABBYY PDF Transformer 3.0 Pro - PC
Your complete PDF solution? 8 July 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Good support for MS Office formats, multiple document conversion, fast and easy to use, supports the latest standards

The Bad
Pretty expensive, lack of PDF editing features

Verdict
PDF Transformer does its job well and is extremely fast and easy to use, but the cost will need to be justified with good use of the more advanced features

Price
£59.99
Battlefield 1943 - Xbox 360
Worth the download? 20 July 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Online only, pace, great fun

The Bad

Price

Toshiba TG01 mobile phone
Biggest screen. Fastest processor. What could go wrong? 20 July 2009 13:28 GMT

The Good
Slim design, great screen, compatibility with workplace, potential with 6.5 upgrade in future

The Bad
Windows Mobile 6.1 outdated, all the extra power doesn't seem apparent, screen not responsive enough, Toshiba's interface doesn't really offer any substance, it's just too big

Verdict
Superhero specs let down by an operating system that offers little excitement and customisation that is little more than superficial

Price

Microsoft Explorer Mouse
Is this the mouse for the explorer in you? 27 October 2008 9:00 GMT

The Good
Really does work anywhere

The Bad
Aside from the BlueTrack tech it is nothing special

Verdict
As a mouse the Microsoft Explorer is your average mouse. It's comfortable, easy to use, but nothing out of the ordinary

Price
£69.99
Microsoft Arc Mouse
Brilliant or gimmick? 30 September 2008 20:24 GMT

The Good
Design, folding capability, comfortable to use

The Bad
Mouse wheel on the clicky side, expensive, USB dongle could have been smaller

Verdict
A stylish comfortable to use mouse that has few grumbles

Price

Microsoft LifeCam Show webcam
A webcam for your travels? 29 October 2008 9:00 GMT

The Good
Good quality video and audio, lots of mounting options

The Bad
Expensive, heavy install

Verdict
At £79.95, this is an expensive option, but as a result, there is little to complain about in terms of performance

Price
£79.95

Didn't find what you want?

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.
