Docs isn't the online Office suite. It's more of an experiment, combining Microsoft's tools with Facebook's social media empire, and one that needs serious work. Its editing tools pale before Google Docs, and it's a buggy tool to play with.

Buying PC components is all about choosing the right weapon for the job at hand. Exactly what PNY's GeForce GTX 295 is best suited for is a tricky question. If beating pensioners to death is your bag, you could do a lot worse. A cheap gag, perhaps. But as blunt instruments go, this old bruiser really is an intimidating physical specimen. What really matters, however, is whether it still have what ...

One hundred and ninety-five Earth pounds for the finest graphics chip AMD currently produces? A GPU with no less than 1,600 stream shaders, support for DirectX 11, a triangle-mashing hardware tessellator and much, much more? That's got to be some deal, right?Yes and no.

Review: Gigabyte GeForce GTS 250 1GB | Posted on: 14/06/2010 @ 21:00

If longevity is any measure of success, Gigabyte's budget-busting GV-250 OC-1GI board is the daddy. After all, the GeForce GTS 250 GPU found at its heart card can trace its roots right back to the GeForce 8800 GT circa late 2007. OK, it's gone through a couple of rebranding exercises and a die shrink or two. But deep down, it remains essentially the same 128-shader, 256-bit bus, DX10 specimen it ...

There are two ways of looking at the MSI 5770 Hawk. On the one hand, it's great value compared to the aging generation of DX10 cards. After all, thanks to the AMD Radeon HD 5770 graphics chipset, you get 800 stream shaders, 40 texture units and 16 render outputs.Those figures are all a match for the old Radeon HD 4800 series, until late last year AMD's flagship offering.

Review: HIS Radeon HD 5870 | Posted on: 14/06/2010 @ 21:00

Can a graphics chip to be too powerful? We've been pondering that puzzle ever since AMD launched the Radeon HD 5870. The key metric here is die size which is a factor of the number and size of transistors in any given chip.For the 5870, AMD more than doubled the transistor count compared with the previous generation. So, despite a shrink from 55nm to 40nm transistors, it's a much larger and more ...

There are probably more transistors in a single AMD Radeon HD 5870 graphics card than a whole XBox 360 or PS3 console, including CPU, GPU, memory, the lot.

Review: Audio Analogue Rossini VT2.0 | Posted on: 14/06/2010 @ 16:00

Version 2 of a product can signify something as trivial as a new front panel layout, but this CD player looks distinctly different internally, from the original Rossini. It's unusual in that it incorporates a valve; a 6922 twin triode (one section per channel) in the audio output stage, which is likely to give it some degree of distinctive character. In fact, Audio Analogue acknowledges, with ...

Although it should be noted that the NAD M5 offers the full gamut of SACD replay, stereo and 5.1, complete with bass management and a video output for use in setting up (though an external display's not actually essential).

Some of these require access to the inside to flick board-mounted switches, which makes something of a nonsense of the rear-panel warning about the risk of electric shock.

The MM and MC stages are separate circuits. ...

Competition in the mid-range 32in sector is always fierce. While Sony hasn't produced anything that exciting at this screen size for a while, it's good to see the Bravia KDL-32EX703 representing a stunning return to form for the manufacturer.

Review: Pro-Ject Tube Box SE II | Posted on: 14/06/2010 @ 15:36

It's great that valve audio equipment continues to be produced and at attractive prices, too. Pro-Ject is to be commended on managing to squeeze a couple of small-signal valves (12AX7, since you ask) into its delightful 'Box Series' and on keeping things affordable at the same time. This isn't a pure valve amplifier, though, as op-amps assist along the way and, in fact, most of the non-valve ...

While Photoshop has no direct competition, InDesign is locked in rivalry with QuarkXPress.

Within the Creative Suite, Photoshop is first among equals – the one app almost every creative professional needs. It's now 64-bit, meaning it can crunch through twice as much data per second under Leopard or Snow Leopard. We found it also required more than twice as much virtual memory, reserving at least 3.5GB of hard disk space while running. It took about the same time as CS4 to launch and ...

Earlier this year Apple updated its entire MacBook Pro lineup. The update wasn't cosmetic, the 2nd generation unibody design carried over from 2009. Instead the 15-inch and 17-inch notebooks got Core i5/i7 CPUs paired with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M GPUs. The 13-inch model was left with a Core 2 Duo and only saw a big improvement in GPU spec with the integrated GeForce 320M. Clearly valuing a ...

Review: Lexmark Interact S605 | Posted on: 08/06/2010 @ 22:00

Lexmark used to give inkjet printing a bad name, serving up cheap, flimsy models that only ran for a few days on their 'installation' cartridges before needing replacements, which would often cost more than the original purchase price of the printer itself. The S605 represents a major rethink, ditching the tri-colour cartridges originally favoured by Lexmark and ushering in a single print head ...

It's a fair few years now since Canon launched its ground-breaking five-ink printing system, featuring dye-based cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks, as well as a secondary pigment-based black ink in the line-up. The idea behind the so-called ContrastPlus configuration is that the pigment-based black ink gives strong black text, rather than the faint grey appearance often associated with ...

Review: Epson Stylus Photo PX710W | Posted on: 08/06/2010 @ 21:48

Epson has always bucked the inkjet printing trend, using cool-running piezo-electric print heads to get the ink onto the paper, instead of boiling it in the conventional thermal fashion. The company claims this gives greater freedom when it comes to formulating inks, as the consideration of a rapid boiling and cooling cycle is taken out of the equation. The latest in a long line of dedicated ...

HP pretty much invented desktop colour inkjet printing, launching its first DeskJet 500C model onto the market all the way back in 1991. For most of the time since then, HP has stuck rigidly to its dual black and tri-colour cartridge configuration, usually enabling you to swap out the black cartridge for an optional tri-colour 'photo' cartridge, boosting the ink range for six-colour photo ...

When your first experience with a secure hard drive involves its flimsy metal fascia peeling off the casing, you know it's a bad sign. In most cases an object falling apart in your hands before you've even plugged it in is a precursor to disappointment.

Review: Twelve South BassJump | Posted on: 08/06/2010 @ 15:24

Even with the best will in the world, the audio that a MacBook or MacBook Pro produces could only really be described as 'a bit thin'.

A few weeks ago, we reviewed the first motherboard based on the AMD 890FX and SB850 chip combo, which was fantastic in every way except the price. This time around, we’re testing two more accessible models which should make it cheaper for users to build a strong PC based on a quad-core or hexa-core Phenom II, as they will be able to invest the difference in money in another component…

Review: Apple MacBook | Posted on: 07/06/2010 @ 20:00

The mid-2010 revision has a lot in common with the previous MacBook generation. It has the same white polycarbonate enclosure, the same 13.3-inch widescreen display and the same 250GB 5400RPM Serial ATA hard drive. You still get 2GB of onboard memory (expandable to 4GB), the 8x slot-loading optical drive is unchanged and connectivity is still through Ethernet and two USB 2.0 ports. And at £849, ...

Review: Philips 26PFL3404D | Posted on: 07/06/2010 @ 14:48

Philips' philosophy of creating value through quality holds true with the capable 26PFL3404D 26-inch LCD TV. This set is neither the cheapest nor the most feature packed, but these considerations are offset by a performance that comfortably outshines the Toshiba 26AV615D and Samsung UE26C4000PW LCD screens. Like its four main rivals, it is HD Ready and carries just two HDMIs, but images are put ...

Review: Sony Bravia KDL-26EX302 | Posted on: 07/06/2010 @ 14:48

Compared to the style sensation that is the Samsung UE26C4000PW, the Bravia KDL-26EX302 26-inch LCD TV is conventionally styled and chunky. The manufacturer does attempt to liven things up a little with a contrasting grey strip running along the bottom of the set, but the overall effect is passable rather than outstandingly pretty. However, what this set has that every one of its rivals lacks is ...

The Bravia KDL-40HX703 boasts Sony's new Monolithic design, with the screen sporting a fetching single-layer, black-edged fascia, and the facility to tilt backwards. It uses a so-called Deep Black Panel, too, in a bid to further create the impression that it is some kind of smaller brother of 2001: A Space Odyssey's mysterious black monolith. Connections are excellent. Four HDMIs get the ball ...

Review: Toshiba 40LV713DB | Posted on: 07/06/2010 @ 14:48

Toshiba's 40LV713DB is one of the cheapest 40-inch LCD TVs around. So we guess we'd better brace ourselves for a few compromises. These start, to some extent, with the set's looks. The chunky, rather plasticky bodywork looks a little old fashioned. The set's connections, aren't quite as extensive as we might have liked, either. There are three, rather than four HDMIs and no Ethernet port. As well ...

All in all, this is a great 2.1 speaker system for $60. If you like lots of bass, the subwoofer with dual 5-inch drivers will leave you satisfied, and the richness of the mids and highs produces quality sound that is great for just about any sort of media playback.

In early May 2010, AMD released a new series of processors that fills in some of the gaps in their Athlon-II and Phenom-II Dual, Triple, and Quad-Core Lines. Most of the newly released processors are really just 100MHz clock speed bumps on the old versions.

Some view the Wayland Display Server as being a potential successor to the current X11 / X.Org Server, but others don't give it much credit seeing as it's not too actively worked on -- well, directly, but it leverages a lot of work actively going on with the Mesa and kernel ...

The Samsung UE26C4000PW LED-backlit LCD TV is by far the most attractive we have seen close to this price. Merely millimetres thick and finished in a seductively rose-tinged gloss black, the UE26C4000PW looks to combine high-end aesthetic swagger with mass-market affordability. The svelte profile dictates that certain sacrifices have had to be made in the socket department, but a brace of HDMIs ...

The Toshiba 26AV615D is one of the cheapest sets around and has the looks to match.

That relatively bulky chassis carries a respectable three HDMI inputs as well as most of the usual analogue selection, although there is no digital audio output, which ...

Review: Grundig GU22DVDBLK | Posted on: 04/06/2010 @ 16:13

The Grundig GU22DVDBLK 22-inch HD Ready LCD TV is a decidedly no-frills affair, with a somewhat dated design and flimsy looking speaker grille making its budget status all too obvious. Inevitably, the glossy black bezel was covered in fingerprints within minutes of being unpacked. The unconventional 16:10 screen ratio makes the panel a tad squashed looking, and gives off the definite whiff of a ...

Review: Sony KDL-32NX503 | Posted on: 04/06/2010 @ 16:01

We wouldn't say Sony has entirely lost its way in design terms, but it hasn't been setting the aesthetic pace quite as it used to. The KDL-32NX503 LCD TV marks a deliberate attempt to change that, courtesy of a new 'Monolithic' design that's gone down well at recent technology shows. But how does the design hold up in the living room? And does the 'Network' TV marketing badge actually mean ...

Cooler Master NA90 Universal Laptop Power Adapter Review | Posted on: 04/06/2010 @ 13:48

Who makes the fastest mobile GPUs right now? That question can be a bit tricky to answer, since getting identical laptops other than the GPU is difficult at best.

The Allegro is a dedicated internet radio designed with simplicity and portability in mind - and a clean, modern look along with support for Sirius, Pandora and thousands of other free radio stations. With a relatively modest price of around $170 online, my initial reaction was "Sounds great - where do I sign up!?!?" But let's temper our excitement and take a close look before passing judgment.
