Great all-round image quality in a compact package - the best mid-range camcorder we've seen.

Laptops Ultraportable laptops

Just light enough to count as an ultra-portable, but with near-desktop performance, a decent display and an optical drive built in.

Media streamers

There’s no HDMI input, the web interface can be slow and we wish it had wireless networking, but it’s still an easy way to stream video content over the internet.

Plenty of features, but we’re not impressed with the interface and it’s expensive.

Small and incredibly light, the R700 still has a decent display resolution, near-desktop performance, good battery life and a three-year warranty.

The Archos 101 has impressive battery life and supports external storage, but it doesn’t feel as tough as its rivals and doesn't come with the standard Google apps and account support.

A hugely powerful 3D gaming PC. It’s expensive, but is fairly priced considering what it can do.

Netgear NeoTV 550 review
Media streamers

Apart from a fairly fiddly internet content browser, there’s not much wrong with the NeoTV 550. It’s not special enough to justify its premium price, though.
