It has been the week of Gadget Show 2011 and we were out in full force, to bring you the latest video coverage. From Broadway 2T to the Tardis PC, we covered an amplifier-come-PC and that wasn't all. Lenovo got the stopwatch out, touted a 21.5in AiO and the stage was then set for a bicycle, and an iPad stylus, to strut their stuff too. Back on a firm footing, it was Intel's 320 Series 300GB SSD that came under the microscope.

As it's rumoured that the first public beta of Windows 8 may arrive in September, Windows 7 has been proving popular and Microsoft is focussing on Internet Explorer 10. On the topic of Windows 7, Futuremark detailed launch information for its upcoming PCMark 7 benchmarking suite - in May - and moving to Apple, Final Cut Pro X is set to arrive in June.

AMD's FM1 socket and Llano APU posed for the paparazzi, and the company is reportedly preparing more HD 6000 series parts. From Intel, on the other hand, news emerged about the Z68 chipset, Ivy Bridge and Panther Point, plus its NAND Flash endeavours with Micron.

Sapphire applied the Xtreme-moniker to the HD 5800 series, the GTX 560 Ti went Hawk and PowerColor, dished up Vortex cooling for the HD 6950, whilst working on something more enticing for the HD 6990. Meanwhile, Gigabyte has been going SOC for the GTX 580 and NVIDIA served up its GT 520 line.

In chassis news, SilverStone paraded the RAVEN RV03, and in the chiller, Antec upped the ante with its KÜHLER H2O 920. By the by, Spotify decided to redefine access to free music.

There was more on the Broadway 2T, Garmin pushed its Forerunner 610 and MSI launched the svelte X-Slim X370, and the NVIDIA Optimus dabbling FX720 laptops.
