- HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y
- HP's $480 Pavilion Slimline s5220y is another low-end slim tower PC that offers mediocre performance and equally unexciting performance packaged in a relatively boring case. Its small stature might tempt some of you to use it as a light-duty PC, or even a media-streaming box, but its out-of-date connectivity options...

- New DVDs store digital photos for centuries
- Obsolete solution surely?1. Surely the cost of cloud disk storage, being two orders of magnitude lower, renders this obsolete?2. Important to consider the file format too: no good having jpg if Photoshop 3010 can't read it! Indeed could one be sure that tiff will still be around in 1000 years?...

- WD TV Live HD Media Player
- The first few rounds of network media streamers we tested weren't necessarily recommendable.

- Samsung HZ15W
- The Samsung HZ15W is a camera that looks good on paper but doesn't live up to the specs. The main attraction is the 24mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 10x zoom, which is certainly a plus in a camera this size, giving you a lot of shooting flexibility for less than $280....

- AVADirect Nano Cube
- AVADirect's $2,266 Nano Cube tries to take on Shuttle's XPC H7 5800 at its own small form factor game.

- Averatec D1130 All-in-One
- The Averatec D1130 All-In-One is a stripped-down version of the D1133 we reviewed last month, and while this version cuts the price down to only $399, it also strips away many of the features that gave the higher-end model some value. With its puny 1.6GHz Intel Atom chip, 1GB of...
