HP Pavilion dv4 (Core 2 Duo P8400 Processor 2.26GHz, 3GB RAM)

Review If you can find a more feature-packed laptop for under S$2,200 on store shelves, I'd like to see it. The HP Pavilion dv4 separates itself from its retail competition by including 64-bit Vista and 4GB of memory while also serving up multimedia-friendly features such as an HDMI port, dual headphone...

Dell Inspiron Mini 9 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review We've known for some time that Dell was working on a Netbook-style laptop--the same kind of small, low-power, inexpensive system made popular by Asus and the Eee PC line. And even though there are not many surprises in the new Inspiron Mini 9, it's still an excellent example of the form,...

HP Mini 1000 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review It may seem as if Hewlett-Packard is arriving somewhat late to the Netbook game with its Mini 1000, but the company's business division has offered a similar system, the 2133 Mini-Note PC since the spring of this year. That model scored points with the best Netbook keyboard we've seen and a solid...

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

Review The long-awaited Windows Mobile phone from the Swedish-Japanese company has finally arrived and we put it through its paces.

Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic

Review If you've outgrown the fashion appeal of Apple's stock earbuds and you're ready to step up to a proper pair of headphones, Apple's S$128 In-Ear headphones are a killer upgrade. They're not going to make everyone happy, however, as some of the features included with the headphones will not work with...

Klipsch Custom 3

Review Klipsch is a relatively new player in the headphone game, but its reputation as a high-end speaker manufacturer dates back to the 1940s. Building on the success of the company's knockout Image X10 earphones, the Klipsch Custom line delivers impressive sound quality in a larger, more durable...

Sony PlayStation Portable PSP-3000

Review While some still consider it a second banana to Nintendo's nearly ubiquitous DS Lite, the Sony PSP has sold more than 41 million units since it appeared on the scene in 2005. Sony released a second-generation version--the PSP-2000--in 2007, giving it a slimmer and lighter chassis, some speed...

Lenovo IdeaPad Y530 (Core 2 Duo P8600 Processor 2.4GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review When you're shopping for a low-priced media laptop, the Lenovo brand is not likely to come immediately to mind. After all, the company is best known for its serious, business-oriented ThinkPad line. But Lenovo has been doing some interesting things with its consumer-oriented IdeaPad line, from...

Asus Eee PC S101 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

Review With the basic parameters of what makes a Netbook fairly set in stone, it's becoming harder than ever for a new model to stand out from the crowd, as evidenced by largely identical recent Netbooks from Dell, Lenovo, and HP--though the HP Mini 1000's impressively large keyboard was a plus. To...

Creative Sound Blaster Arena Surround

Review To create a compact audio system, Creative has taken its sound tech know-how and given traditional headsets a much-needed tweak. See if it delivers.

Sony Vaio VPC-X118LG/B (Intel Atom Z550 Processor 2GHz, 2GB RAM)

Review While PC makers are focused on the low-cost market, Sony doesn't seem to be very interested in this segment. The Japanese maker is well-known for its cutting-edge designs and the Vaio X series is the epitome of that passion. In fact, the first impression one gets is that this Vaio is just a...
