  • Arbico P250 CS
    Arbico P250 CS review There's nothing particularly wrong with Arbico's P250 CS, but for similar money you can get a PC with more memory and a faster processor.

  • Hiyatek Multi-Function Panel HY-CR-720-ES
    Hiyatek Multi-Function Panel HY-CR-720-ES review With a fast memory card reader and a fan controller in a 3.5in bay, this is a great choice, but you can get cheaper readers.

  • HP Mini 210-1012ea
    HP Mini 210-1012ea review Its red finish is certainly eye-catching, but it's strange that there's only 802.11g wireless networking and you can't upgrade the memory.

  • Devolo dLAN 200 AVsmart+ Starter Kit
    Devolo dLAN 200 AVsmart+ Starter Kit review This kit is quick, but you pay a lot of money for the LCD screen and you can get better-value pass-through HomePlug AV adaptors

  • HP TouchSmart 600
    HP TouchSmart 600-1050UK review The screen's fantastic and it's a decent all round PC, but you can buy similarly-specified all-in-one computers with slightly smaller screens for a lot less.

  • Sony Vaio M Series
    Sony Vaio M Series (M11M1E) review This is the first cheap netbook that Sony has done, but it's no different to all the other 10.1in models out there.
