The Archos 604 is the 'slim 'n' sleek' model from the new multimedia player range, combining audio and video playback with a host of optional extras. It's just 17mm thick, and a glance at the sleek silver and brushed steel casing and 4.3-inch screen leaves you with no doubt as to why Archos is touting it as its style option.

This is a stunning looking device, backed up by an excellent LCD that boasts a crisp, vibrant display for your movies and photos. Obviously a device of this nature is mainly intended for video playback, but Archos has left no stone unturned in its quest for the ultimate multimedia companion.

The MP3 player, for example, is one of the best we've seen (and heard). Aside from the fact that the large screen makes navigating and managing your music a breeze, the controls and menu structure are excellently conceived, with the Archos Arclibrary tool automatically sorting new music into ID3 tag categories for easy browsing.
