- TomTom Start UK & Ireland review An easy-to-use satnav, but a touch overpriced given the features on offer£100
- NEC MultiSync EA231WMi review A great 23in monitor, with excellent viewing angles and colour accuracy, but its high price is a lot to get over.£297
- Iiyama ProLite T2250MTS review A fine monitor with a responsive touchscreen, but we're not sure touch capabilities are worth the asking price.£242
- BenQ V2400 Eco review Striking looks and great image quality, but it lacks features for the price and might make your PC look rather drab.£199
- Mio Navman Moov Spirit 500 Traffic review A feature-packed satnav, but the touchscreen can be unresponsive. It's also quite expensive and there are better-value alternatives.£200
- Philips Brilliance 225P1ES review Great image quality and adjustability, and the sensor works well, but at this price it'll be a while before you make any savings.£215
- best buyATI Radeon HD 5870 review Astonishing performance coupled with triple-monitor support makes the HD 5870 a desirable graphics card, despite the high price.£319
- ALK CoPilot Live 8 review CoPilot is a good-value app, but it crashed so often in our tests, it's best avoided unless a future update fixes all the bugs.£26
- Navigon MobileNavigator British Isles review A good satnav app that will frustrate some with its lack of seven-digit postcode entry.£53
- TomTom For iPhone review Solid navigation, but this expensive app lacks too many of the features that make TomTom's standalone units so good.£60
- Synology Disk Station (DS) 409slim review A compact NAS enclosure with lots of features, low power consumption, low noise and a small footprint - a superb choice.£299
- best buyPanasonic Viera TX-P42G10B review Fantastic image quality and the benefit of Freesat make this a great choice if you're after a 42in HD TV.£790
- LG Flatron M227WD-PZ review A decent TV and monitor at a reasonable price, but it's let down by poor speakers.£190
- best buyBT Mobile Broadband Unbeatable value as part of a BT Total Broadband package, and still remarkably inexpensive when bought on its own.£50
- Philips Brilliance 220X1 review A pretty-looking 22in monitor that provides only average image quality for a relatively high price.£234
