Canon Digital IXUS 970 IS review
Canon’s Ixus line is renowned for its styling, but the Ixus 970 IS’s design is a triumph of style over substance.

Casio Exilim Card S10 review
By far the smallest camera in this group test, the Exlim Card S10 isn’t quite credit-card sized as the name suggests, but it’s half the thickness of most of its rivals.

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd review
At almost £70 less expensive than most of its rivals here – and £111 less than Canon’s Ixus 970 IS – the FinePix F50fd seems like a total bargain.

Nikon Coolpix P5100 review
Next to the other models we’ve looked at here, the Coolpix P5100 is a bit on the chunky side, but as the camera is actually pitched against higher-end models, it’s actually pretty small.

Sony Cyber-shot W300 review
Of all the cameras here, the Cyber-shot W300 offers the best balance of size, performance and ease-of-use – and to us, it’s the best-looking to boot.

xw8600 review
The xw8600 tops out HP’s range of Intel-powered workstations. It’s a dual chip-powered behemoth that has lots of room for expansion.

CAD2 Imagine DQX-Light review
Despite coming at the top of our budget, the Imagine DQX-Light manages to put two quad-core processors in a relatively inexpensive workstation.

Dell Precision T7400 review
Though sleeker and less imposing than the hulking black Precision 690 that the T7400 replaces, the long X-shaped metal bar at the front of this workstation still announces...

HP xw6600 review
The xw6600 puts up to two Xeon processors in a slimline case. This is great if you’re short of space – but next to its rivals, it’s a little short on storage.

Xworks X8i-C2Q review
The X8i-C2Q is the top performer here, offering the best overall mix of processor, memory and storage. Other workstations have more chips, better cases, or more complex storage, but ...

HP xw4600 review
Even for a single-processor model, the xw4600 has a dinky chassis that will slip under even the smallest desk – and it’s well-designed, too.

Drobo review
Data Robotics describes the Drobo as ‘the world’s first storage robot’, but it’s actually a hard drive enclosure with some nifty built-in technology that makes securely backing up your projects a doddle.

The new FinePix S5 Pro replaces the popular S3 Pro adding a redesigned 12.34-megapixel sensor, a larger 2.5-inch screen, usable ISO 3200 top sensitivity and a new environmentally-sealed magnesium-alloy body.

FreeAgent Pro review
Sleek is not a typical descriptor for a desktop hard drive. It is the first word, however, that comes to mind for Seagate’s new line of storage, FreeAgent Pro.
