Teac's PCDV125L stereo is a portable model that maintains the functionality found in a more traditional mini hi-fi system. If you're moving around constantly but want the ability to listen to music and watch movies, it's a good choice.

The FB163 is a product with plenty of functionality — USB inputs, DVD and DivX playback and an iPod dock. It sounds great, but the implementation of these extra features isn't as smooth as it could have been.

For a system aimed at casual radio and CD listeners, the NX4CD offers great looks and an easy to use interface.

A system with a huge range of inputs, including Bluetooth, the Sony CMT-HX5BT is a good choice for those with plenty of music. Unfortunately, the audio quality is let-down in the treble; however, the bass and mid-range are excellent.

The FB162 is a great way to be able to experience a fantastic range of audio sources all on a single device. Its jack-of-all-trades nature may dissuade those looking for something specific, but those after an all-rounder type system will be well served with this product.

Overall it's quite a respectable unit, which will suit casual users.

If you're not overly worried about audio quality, and are looking for a simple and attractive way to play your iPod on speakers, then the Philips MCM108D provides a very affordable answer.

A very commendable micro Hi-Fi system from Kenwood that combines great sound and design with a myriad of sound equalisation options.

A huge home theatre system with over the top styling and a wide range of functions let down by a poor range of connections.

An impressive system that seems capable of doing almost everything and still comes in at a good price
