Low-cost laser

If you need the speed and quality of a laser printer but have always been put off by the cost, check out today's review of the Dell 1100, a perfectly serviceable laser for the surprising price of about €130 (though it varies by a few quid from hour to hour with Dell). Of course, it comes with a few caveats, primarily the hidden extras (no USB cable included plus cost of the replacement toner ain't so cheap).

Also reviewed is Nokia's 6101, a creditable attempt to address complaints (primarily from me!) about the Finns' predilection for crazy/unusable keypads. This phone has no airs and graces about it, it's just a straight-down-the-line clamshell handset for the masses.

In games, Far Cry Instincts (Xbox) continues the fine lineage of the FC series - ostensibly it's the same game as the PC hit, but it's been retooled and honed for the Xbox to fantastic effect. Tiger Woods 06 (PSP) plays a mean game of golf, though the swing meter is a bitch to master. And the Sonic Gems Collection is an unnecessary scraping of the barrel in the light of the Sonic Mega Collection Plus from earlier this year.
