Home office Wireless routers

A 3G WiFi router with a host of advanced functions, but it's awkward to use.

RaidSonic IcyBox IB-NAS5220-B review
NAS drives

A low price for a two-disk enclosure, but unless you must have RAID on a budget, its disappointing extra features and performance mean there are better buys.

PC cases

An inexpensive mini-tower with decent cooling options, but the Dragon Slayer doesn’t compare particularly well to other small cases.

Laptops

A stylish budget laptop with decent performance and a good selection of expansion ports. It can't quite match Dell's Inspiron 15R, though.

PCs

Well built, with an excellent monitor, the Fusion Infinity isn't the fastest Sandy Bridge i5 PC around, but it's still a superb performer and a well-rounded package.

A capable router with a 3G modem and rechargeable battery built in, so you can use it away from the mains or a computer.

The HL-3070CW is fairly good value and quite quick in colour, but its print quality – particularly in photos – is very disappointing.

PCs

This Sandy Bridge system has refreshingly different styling and some interesting features, but it's out-performed by almost every other comparable system on the market.
