An essential selection of the latest must-have, cutting edge stuff. For your house, the office, or just because you really, really want one.

Admiration from your friends is just a mouse click away.

Sony V LCD TV (from £1,700)

The screen quality is the best Sony has produced in a flatscreen. The entry-level S-series are excellent, but the V-series, due in the next few days, and just in time for Sky HD transmissions this month, are sensational.

Available to buy from the Sony website.


Nikon Coolpix S6 digital camera (£349.99)

This six-megapixel machine has a slim shape, a three-inch screen and the facility to create a slide-show with music on board. It also has an autofocus program and wi-fi.

Available to buy from the Nikon website.


Nabaztag (£79.99)

This bizarre contraption is a desktop bunny that uses a home wireless network to collect information from the internet. It will speak the time, read the news and check the stock market and even glows different colours according to the weather forecast.

Available to buy from the Firebox website.


Samsung Z5 MP3 player (£130)

The Z5 is a smooth aluminium cutie with 2GB of storage, enough for around 500 tracks. The touch sensitive panel can take a little time to get used to. Its 35-hour battery outlasts the iPod.

Available to buy from the Samsung website.


Pure One DAB digital radio (£49.99)

Just launched by digital radio experts Pure, the One has a great price and look. It's mains or battery operated, has timers so you can use it as an alarm, and squeezes FM and DAB tuners into a tiny space. It comes in black, white and pink.

Available to buy from the Pure website.


Dyson car-cleaning kit (£40)

This handy Dyson attachment is great for cleaning the car. There's a turbine head for picking up pet hairs, a crevice tool to really get in between the cracks in the seats, and a stubborn dirt brush. Utilitarian but impressive.

Available to buy from the Dyson website.


Apple MacBook (£749)

The latest Mac notebook includes the new Intel Core Duo chip which means you can use it as a Windows machine if you have a copy of Windows XP. It's tiny and light, too. Choose between white and black finishes.

Available to buy from the Apple website.
