Barry de la Rosa has written various articles on a range of topics covering everything from TVs to mobile phones.
AsusN53JG review Well built and with a striking design, but its dedicated graphics chip isn't powerful enough and the keyboard is ugly and uncomfortable.
Dell XPS L502X review Fast in games and applications, a good battery life, a fantastic Full HD screen. This is the best laptop you can buy.
£929
Cisco Linksys E4200 review Capable of amazing speeds, and set to get even faster when compatible laptops appear, but it's not enough to justify the inflated price.
£170
BT Home Hub 3 review Caters well for novice users, but advanced features are conspicuously absent and wireless performance is pedestrian.
£92
Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 review The X8 has some clever features, but it can't match Motorola’s Defy on contract. It’s a good choice on prepay, though.
£149
Lenovo U160 review Around the same size and price as a netbook, but more powerful and with a higher screen resolution – an excellent budget choice.
£388
Philips PicoPix 1430 review It may be cute, but the PicoPix's image suffers heavily from the rainbow effect, and you'll need an adaptor for VGA.
£250
HP Pavilion dv7-4035sa review The 17in screen and high quality keyboard are tempting but there's no excuse for such poor performance or the unusable touchpad.
Palicomp Phoenix i5 Nemesis review The second Sandy Bridge PC we’ve seen is almost unbeatable value, with excellent performance and expansion potential.
£800
Samsung RV511-S01UK review Impressive core components and performance to match, but its dedicated graphics card doesn't add enough value to warrant its high price.
£579
Y-Cam Bullet Black review A well-built IP camera with all the features we'd expect, plus a clear and comprehensive manual, but it's too expensive for the average home user.
£319
Sony Vaio VPC-S13L9E review Just light enough to count as an ultra-portable, but with near-desktop performance, a decent display and an optical drive built in.
Toshiba Portégé R700-17W review Small and incredibly light, the R700 still has a decent display resolution, near-desktop performance, good battery life and a three-year warranty.
£690
Archos 101 Internet Tablet review The Archos 101 has impressive battery life and supports external storage, but it doesn’t feel as tough as its rivals

Rift review An ambitious take on the classic swords-and-sorcery MMORPG, Rift could be the game that topples Warcraft from top spot.£24
