YES, your PC can play music and stream videos. You can play games and watch TV shows on it. But can it really replace the old faithful - the telly?

NEC's Powermate P3020 might not replace your TV, but it certainly promises to give it a run for its money.

The gadget comes with a 15.4-inch wide screen that is juiced with internal lamps and illumination technologies promising vibrant image quality.

It also comes power-packed with a DVD drive, 13-in-1 multimedia card reader and a 160GB storage space for all your media files.

And to add to that, it is preloaded with video-editing software for you to dabble in your Spielberg dreams.

• Available at all authorised dealers. Price unavailable.
