  • First Take: Apple Mac Mini

    Apple's new budget desktop is a simple box with a low price tag.

  • Apple Mac Mini

    As an introduction to the Mac world -- or as a second Mac -- it's hard to fault the Mac Mini, as long as you plump for a few optional extras that really shouldn't be optional at all.

  • Apple iMac G5

    The trim, new iMac G5 receives an updated processor, but the machine is still more about style than substance.

  • Nine lives for Mac OS 9

    Apple Computer has pulled back from a plan that would have made Mac OS X the primary operating system on all new Macs starting in January.

  • Servers of a higher order: 4 high-end platforms tested

  • Desktop Studios -- High end workstations

    Does your organisation boast a budding Tim Burton or a corporate Coen brothers? If you’re planning to produce video or 3D animation, we look at some top-end workstations you’ll need to create your masterpieces.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

    Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favourite all-in-one. And while its looks, its ease of use, and its performance are all selling points, Windows PCs are starting to catch up (at least with the latter).

  • ASUS Eee Box

    Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.

  • Dell Studio Hybrid

    It's hard for us to recommend the Dell Studio Hybrid desktop for any practical purpose. As a desktop for productivity, you can get more bang-for-your-buck from a typical budget-priced midtower PC.

  • Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

    While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.

  • Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e

    Lenovo's new ThinkCentre A61e is primarily a business PC, but it also has crossover appeal as a home office system, given its small size -- which echoes that of the Mac Mini and other recent, small-scale desktops.

  • Apple Final Cut Studio 2

    Final Cut Studio 2 is a solid value and worthy upgrade for serious film editors who work on Macs. However, hobbyists should consider simpler software.

  • Apple MacBook (1.83GHz, 13-inch)

    Apple has finally released its Intel-based MacBook, which replaces the iBook series of budget laptops. Our preview stacks it up against the MacBook Pro.

  • David Braue NBN needs workers on board
    Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
