Apple MacBook Pro 13in Review Paisley

Apple supplied the 2.66GHz model for review. It’s a Core 2 Duo processor rather than the newer Intel iSeries. Apple reasons that it has focused on other components that make a difference, so the ageing NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor is ousted in favour of a GeForce 320M, though it still siphons off some RAM for its graphical work.

Synology DiskStation DS710+ Review Paisley

Intel’s Atom processors are proving to be popular choices for many small business NAS appliances as their combination of low power and good performance hasn’t gone unnoticed by most of the big manufacturers.

Symantec Backup Exec 2010 Review Paisley

It’s been a long wait but Symantec finally adds deduplication to its flagship Windows backup software. We put the latest Backup Exec 2010 to the test to see what storage savings it can deliver.

Google Nexus One Review Paisley

At first glance we were struck by the svelte design of the Nexus One. It’s reassuringly heavy and well built. Within minutes we had almost dropped the blighter though. The smooth, modern design was kryptonite to our clumsy grasp but after a moment or two of adjustment we felt confident enough to move away from a padded surface.

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 Review Paisley

With its IdeaPad, Lenovo wants to give you more than a netbook could but in a stylish and highly portable package. Has it succeeded? We examine the U350.

Aastra 6731i VoIP handset review Paisley

Apple MacBook Pro 13in Review Paisley

Apple OS X Snow Leopard Review: First Look Paisley

The overall impression is of a slick, nicely touched up OS that is worth the £25, including VAT upgrade fee, but we feel that greater things are still to come, once developers really get to grips with the underlying enhancements and deliver apps to match.

Buffalo TeraStation III 2TB Review Paisley

Buffalo's TeraStation III may look exactly like the company's previous TeraStation NAS devices, but this latest model has both the performance and the features to attract both small and medium sized businesses.

Dell Adamo Laptop Review Paisley

It comes in silver or black, with suitably lush monikers – the Adamo Pearl and Onyx – and its dimensions are to die for: it's impossibly slim at just 18mm and weighs 1.8kg, so it should become a permanent companion on your travels – although we’d recommend a padded slipcase, at the very least, to ensure the exquisite exterior isn’t scratched or damaged.

Dell Precision M6400 Covet Review Paisley

Delivering a workstation in a mobile form in no easy task, but the Dell Precision M6400 is a near perfect example of how to do it right.

Gateway DU10G Review Paisley

Gateway is back in the business scene and we take a look at a tiny but powerful desktop for the space constrained business.

Google Nexus One Review Paisley

HP Mini 5101 Netbook Review Paisley

There’s no sign of the cheap look plastics, slightly dodgy keyboards, and blurry screens of its cheaper brethren – the Mini 5101 has a fully executive look and feel. Of course, HP has done this before, with last years Mini 2133, but this year’s effort is better.

HTC Hero Review Paisley

It's the latest handset to feature the power house that is Android, but does this HTC device live up to its name?

HTC Snap Review Paisley

HTC moves away from touchscreens, with the BlackBerry-style Qwerty keyboard and trackball equipped Snap. Is it onto a winner?

Lenovo IdeaPad U350 Review Paisley

With its IdeaPad, Lenovo wants to give you more than a netbook could but in a stylish and highly portable package. Has it succeeded? We examine the U350.

If you want to make a big impression on your clients then this 103in digital display ought to do the trick. But does it have the quality to match its dimensions?

Panda GateDefender Performa 9100 Review Paisley

Panda latest appliance delivers web content security at the network perimeter. The anti-spam measures are near perfect but are its other features as good?

Reviews Round-Up: BlackBerry's Budget 8520 Comes to Town Paisley

Whenever a manufacturer adds a ‘budget’ tag to the moniker of a handset, it immediately creates pre-conceptions about just how many features are going to be missing. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 made for a pleasant change in Paisley.

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8520 Review Paisley

RIM looks to bring BlackBerry to the masses with this affordable handset, but the 8520 brings some innovations of its own to the party. Does it do enough to impress us?

Samsung Galaxy (i7500) Review Paisley

Unboxing the Android-based handset felt much like greeting an old friend you haven’t seen for years who’s changed in appearance but you can’t quite put your finger on why. The Galaxy has all the familiarity of other recent Samsung handsets, but in reality it’s actually quite different.
