Huawei MediaPad X1 hands-on review

Huawei MediaPad X1 hands-on review Our Verdict The MediaPad X1 is a really nicely designed 7in tablet from Huawei. However, we wish it was simple a tablet with a Nexus 7 rivalling price tag. Not a confusing ‘phablet’ with its phone functions. Huawei normally launches cheap, cheerful and plastic devices but it has step things up a level with the new MediaPad X1. The Chinese firm claims it’s the most slendertabletin its class so we’ve taken a look at MWC in Barcelona....

Kyocera ECOSYS P6030cdn review

Kyocera ECOSYS P6030cdn review Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Kyocera’s ECOSYS P6030cdn colour laser printer manages to combine volume, speed and quality with cost-saving features and plenty of extras.

AMD Radeon R9 280X vs nVidia GeForce GTX 770

AMD Radeon R9 280X vs nVidia GeForce GTX 770 Our Verdict The decision over which GPU to choose will come down largely to money.

Crucially, it’s also a faster GPU, even if there isn’t usually more than a few frames in it....

Archos 50c Oxygen hands-on review

Archos 50c Oxygen hands-on review Our Verdict The Archos 50c Oxygen is a really sexy device that feels great in your hands, is nippy as hell and costs less than £200. It looks like it could be a great deal. A Quad-core 5-inch HD smartphone for less than £200? You must be mad.

Archos 64 Xenon hands-on review

Archos 64 Xenon hands-on review Our Verdict If you’re looking for a large phablet then you can’t get much bigger than the Archos 64 Xenon. It’s certainly not the best phablet we’ve seen, but we didn’t expect it to be as it only costs £199. For that price, you’re getting a well-rounded phablet with reasonable specs that’ll do the trick nicely if you’re on a budget and aren’t worried about top-of-the-range features and build quality....
