  • Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz)

    Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.

  • Apple MacBook (Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz)

    Apple's redesigned 13in. MacBook is essentially a shrunken version of the more expensive 15in. Pro line. With its new aluminium body, new touchpad and Nvidia graphics, it's an even more attractive choice for mainstream notebook buyers than was the plastic model it replaces.

  • D-Link DNS-343

    The DNS-343 is the natural evolution of the DNS-323 a four-drive NAS that's quite good indeed.

  • Apple iPod Nano (4th generation)

    Apple has set the Nano back on track with the thinnest, lightest design yet, and has features that are hard to ignore.

  • Kingston DataTraveler BlackBox

    If data security is paramount, the DataTraveler BlackBox is the USB flash drive of choice, despite its relatively high cost.

  • Dell Latitude E6500

    The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.

  • HP 2533t Mobile Thin Client

    The desktop is dead, long live the thin client desktop. Following the trend of migrating applications into the datacentre, thin clients have become increasingly popular. We found HP's first mobile thin client to be a reliable system at a reasonable price.

  • Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive

    The Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is an attractive drive with a decent price. Its size makes it great for travel, but we can't recommend it due to its lack of performance.

  • HTC Touch Diamond

    HTC's Touch Diamond crams a multitude of features into a compact and stylish device, topped off by a flashy user interface. However, the TouchFLO 3D interface has too many rough edges and the battery life is terrible.

  • HP TouchSmart IQ505a

    The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well " but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.

  • Dell 2709W

    Dell's latest 27-inch monitor introduces an updated menu system, several new inputs and wide colour gamut. While it won't impress professionals, it's likely to please the average user who wants a big screen.

  • Lenovo M57e

    The Lenovo M57 eco is a small form-factor desktop that is promoted by the company as energy efficient. We found it to be a capable and powerful office performer for its size, but with limited upgrade options.

  • LG Shine Slide (KE970)

    Wrapped in a sturdy stainless steel case, there's nothing ground-breaking about the Shine Slide. However for AU$249, it's an excellent prepaid option.

  • DrayTek Vigor2820n ADSL2+ Router

    DrayTek's Vigor2820n offers a vast array of features, but you'll pay for them. Make sure you need everything it offers first!

  • ASUS Eee PC 900

    The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.

  • 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.

    Following yesterday's admission by the Australian Taxation Office that its courier had lost a CD containing the details of 3,000 self-managed super funds, it wants to review how it handles information. My suggestion: go back to the review completed in April.
