  • BenQ Joybee GP1 review The low price and amazing portability of the GP1 make it the best mini projector to date, but it's still far from perfect.

  • Webroot Parental Controls review Webroot suffers from a range of particularly poor filters, and it's identical to KidsWatch minus a couple of useful features.
    £25
  • CyberPatrol Parental Controls 7.7 Although it's full of features, none is as well-implemented as in any of the other programs tested

    ContentWatch Net Nanny 6.0 review Full of intelligent features, and we liked the consensual filtering and IM monitoring, but it needs to pay more attention to UK sites.
    £40
  • Computer Business Solutions KidsWatch review A fully featured product, but KidsWatch's filters are crude, and it's not good value, with far better parental software available.
    £46
  • Solid Oak Cyber Sitter 10 review A huge disappointment, Cyber Sitter has been left behind by slicker rivals with more features that are easier to use for beginners.
    £40
  • Norton OnlineFamily.Norton review Despite being in beta testing, Norton's product is slick and shows a lot of promise. Worth looking at if you're on a particularly tight budget.
  • Interead COOL-ER review It's lighter and more colourful than other eBook readers, but the COOL-ER is poorly made and clunky.

    Asus K70IO review The smart K70IO is great value, with a large, bright screen and a reasonably powerful graphics chipset.
    £555
  • Sony Vaio W11S1E/T review Gorgeous styling and a detailed widescreen display, but battery life is poor and the keyboard is frustrating to type on.
    £412
  • Asus T91 review A touchscreen and small size and weight make the T91 an interesting netbook, but average battery life and a cramped keyboard let it down.

    NEC EA241WM review Expensive, but its amazing picture quality, fully adjustable stand and high resolution make it a fantastic display if you can afford it.
    £300
  • Acer H243Hbmid review The H243Hbmid has great picture quality and a great range of inputs. Only the slightly frustrating menu system lets it down slightly.
    £220
  • Asus VW246H review A decent Full HD monitor, with a clear menu and tons of image-tweaking options, but better-quality displays are available for less.
    £214

    Samsung 2494HM review A smart monitor with an adjustable stand, USB hub and decent picture quality. Its slightly uneven backlight lets it down a little, though.
