Features

Ebooks: The Verdict: A library in the palm of your hand is an exciting proposition, but is it practical, or even necessary? We investigate the blossoming eBook market, reviewing every reader, answering every question and picking out the potential pitfalls.

Who's watching you? Davey Winder goes undercover to reveal exactly how much information you could be leaving on public view online, and explains how music firms could hunt you down... Plus! We find out what information ISPs, search engines and mobile phone companies hold on us.

Never lose a file again: Losing an important file can range from being an inconvenience to an all-out catastrophe. But it's so easy to avoid. Join us, as we show you how to set up a seamless, hassle-free backup routine.

Threat 2.0: Paedophiles are using invidious new tactics to groom children over the internet. We expose the threats and explore the best ways of fighting them.

Comprehensive labs

Next-gen laptops: The market may be awash in netbooks, but sometimes only a fully-featured laptop will do. We test out everything from ultraportables to desktop replacements, to find you something special in your budget.

Christmas gadgets: Stuck for a gift idea? We've got 41 gadgets guaranteed to set every geek-heart fluttering. There are digital cameras, MP3 players, internet radios, musical instruments and much more.

In Depth, News and Real World Computing

As well as all that, we put a host of virtualisation packages through their paces in our In Depth section, while our comprehensive news grid offers an at-a-glance rundown of all the month's biggest stories, complete with commentary from analysts, readers and the PC Pro staff.

And as always you can count on our Real World Computing section to deliver a comprehensive account of life on the IT frontlines. This month Paul Ockenden turbo-charges his broadband connection, Davey Winder tells a tale of two security apps and Simon Jones loves Excel, but finds his heart drifting.
