    Mesh Nero Pro
    Mesh Nero Pro review With decent performance, an attractive 23in Full HD monitor and enough room for expansion, the Nero Pro is a great all-round PC
    £499
  • NEC MultiSync EA222WMe
    NEC MultiSync EA222WMe review Packed with features and excellent image quality, but it has only a 1,680x1,050 resolution. At this high price, it's relatively poor value

    CyberPower Ultra Triton XT
    CyberPower Ultra Triton XT review The Ultra Triton XT is a fairly decent gaming rig with a full HD monitor, and is incredibly fast too, thanks to the quad-core processor. It's a Best Buy.

  • AOC E2236Vwa review The E2236Vwa's image quality is average, the menu is frustrating, and there's no HDCP support

  • Mesh Ice3 530CS
    Mesh Ice3 530CS review An expandable design, with a decent processor and a Full HD monitor, but just enough room to upgrade memory and graphics to create a powerful gaming PC
    £575
  • Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
    Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 review A decent camera, but the customised interface isn't as snappy as other Snapdragon phones
    £456
  • Fujitsu Lifebook E780
    Fujitsu Lifebook E780 review A well-built and powerful laptop, the E780 has a poor display, far more security features than most users will ever need, and is far too expensive
    £1249
  • PC Specialist Aurea i3-530X
    PC Specialist Aurea i3-530X review The lack of a Full HD monitor makes this poor value compared to other PCs here, but we're more concerned by the lack of extra cooling for the overclocked CPU, coupled with the minimal warranty.

    Sony Vaio VPCF11S1E/B
    Sony Vaio F series (VPC-F11S1E/B) review With a powerful processor and graphics chip, plenty of RAM and a Full HD display, the F11S1E is an ideal image/video processor

    Iiyama ProLite E2710HDSD-1
    Iiyama ProLite E2710HDSD-1 review Decent image quality, a four-port USB hub and surprisingly good internal speakers make this 27in monitor great value
    £221
  • Samsung SyncMaster XL2370
    Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 review A gorgeous design and excellent picture quality don't justify the inexplicably high price
    £260

    Eclipse Matrix i75R577
    Eclipse Matrix i75R577 review A well-made, quiet PC with potential for overclocking, the 24in, Full HD monitor and 1TB hard disk tip the scales in its favour against stiff competition.
    £773
  • Square Enix Just Cause 2
    Just Cause 2 review A fun-filled extravaganza of explosion-filled destruction, but Just Cause 2's huge sand-box lacks immersion or depth

    Iiyama ProLite E2008HDS-1
    Iiyama ProLite E2008HDS-1 review Despite its budget looks, the E2008HDS-1 has excellent image quality, a sensible resolution and a low price.
    £100
  • HTC Desire
    HTC Desire review A beautiful and powerful phone, however the Desire can't rival the iPhone's build quality, and HTC's Sense software has some annoying quirks
