Magnetar SDX review
The Magnetar SDX is a whopper of a workstatio, measuring 62cm-x-22cm-x-425cm and weighing only slightly less than a baby elephant. If you think that Apple’s Mac Pro is too girly, then this is the workstation for you.

Microsoft Expression Web 2 review
Expression Web 2 continues the design-led approach of Blend, offering a well-sized Design view for working with images and text. Full Photoshop support is a welcome addition, though imported PSD files must meet some criteria first.

Ricoh R8 review
The R8 is an engineering marvel, cramming a whopping 7x lens into a body that’s on the larger size compared to the other group test models, but still slips into your pocket easily.
