Samsung CLP-500 review
Reviews Design Samsung's CLP-500 colour laser printer is low on flash; it looks like an electronic office appliance from a bygone era. Housed in grey plastic, the round-edged, boxy CLP-500 measures 51 by 47 by 40.5cm, which is about average for colour lasers.

Dell 5100cn review
Reviews Design No one should try to cram the heavy and broad Dell 5100cn into a cramped office. This charcoal-on-grey behemoth measures 42.7cm wide by 58.2cm deep by 46.2cm high and weighs 35kg; it has a boxy, utilitarian look about it, despite its flimsy...

nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 review
Reviews The GeForce4 sets new standards for dynamic memory, too. Up to now, 64MB has been considered the absolute top specification for graphics cards. However, the GeForce4 can handle twice as much RAM. Even some PC users might envy that.

HP LaserJet 3380 review
Reviews Design The two-tone grey, mushroom-shaped LaserJet 3380 printer stands 49.5cm high but takes only 54.6cm by 52.1cm of desktop, which is about average; and at just 15.8, it's easy enough to push aside when necessary.

Reviews AMD's latest round of Athlon 64 releases marks the debut of Socket 939 -- yet another new pin layout. This gives the chip-maker the chance to introduce dual-channel memory control without impinging on its Opteron server range, which uses Socket 940.

HP Colour LaserJet 1500L review
Reviews Design The HP Colour LaserJet 1500L has the compact, pot-bellied shape common among HP colour lasers. Its soft, blue-grey-on-grey contours are more homey than the drab, putty-coloured plastics of office printers.

Epson Aculaser C1000 review
Reviews Out of the box, the first impression of the Aculaser C1000 is its hefty 39kg weight -- and that's without the optional £449 (ex. VAT) duplex unit. The C1000 is equipped with both USB and parallel ports, and can be set up for networked use if the...

Dell 3100cn review
Reviews Design The boxy grey tower of the Dell 3100cn might overshadow other equipment in your work area. You might want to give this 53.3cm-high printer its own desk to handle its hefty 33kg, even though it takes up only a 42cm-square footprint.
