Motherboards PCs

The P7P55-M's price isn't low enough to justify its mediocre performance and features.

DVD/blu-ray drives

A sensibly-priced Blu-ray writer that's also quick at burning discs.

Laptops

A smart, thin netbook with an outstanding battery life, but the dull screen lets the side down, and there are other, better netbooks that cost less.

Mobile phones

Poor battery life, an obsolete operating system and confusing software make this hybrid satnav/mobile phone frustrating to use, and we don't see the point in it.

Laptops Ultraportable laptops

Eight-hour battery life and good single-threaded performance make this an alternative to a netbook, but Packard Bell's Dot u has far better performance for a little extra cost.

Buffalo Dualie review
External hard drives

The Dualie is a neat product, but if you're not fussy about tidiness and don't need FireWire you can save money by buying a USB disk and iPod dock separately.
