Asus MK241H

Asus MK241H

The MK241H is a decent performer for what it is, but for AU$100 more you could have the vastly superior Dell 2408WFP or Samsung 245T.

Asus M51Va

Asus M51Va

Asus' M51Va passes muster as one of the better laptops out there, and the Centrino 2 certification means you'll be up to date with the latest spec. If you're in the market for a mid-weight laptop, make sure to give this one a try.

Creative TravelSound i50

The Creative TravelSound i50 is a fine choice for iPod Shuffle owners looking for a powerful portable speaker that integrates the player seamlessly, but there are better sounding options out there.

JVC Everio GZ-MG330

If you're not interested in being able to record HD footage, you'll find this standard definition camcorder a good bet.

Kodak ESP 5 All-in-One Printer

Kodak sells the ESP 5 on its cheap printing capabilities. Sadly, in this context, cheap equals not very good.

Renegade Game Chair

Renegade Game Chair

It performs well as a gaming enhancement but costs as much as a next-gen console. The Renegade is for committed gamers only.

HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

HP iPAQ 612c Business Navigator

HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.

Nokia E66

Nokia E66

While we like the E71 better, the E66 is a great smartphone with class leading features. If you want the functionality of a business phone without the bulk of a PDA form factor, the E66 is the phone you've been looking for.

Samsung LA40A650

The Samsung LA40A650 is a very good all-rounder which particularly shines in high definition, but it's facing some talented competition.

Toshiba Regza 42AV500A

The Toshiba Regza 42AV500A is a great mid-range unit with an attractive price point. It's not perfect but it will certainly please the budget consumer.

AVLabs MYTube Video Speakers for iPod

The MYTube iPod dock throws everything it can into a dock, and then a little bit more. Only some of it sticks, mind you.

LG DP392G

The LG DP392G is a great portable DVD player with features to keep almost anyone happy, if only it had enough battery for long plane journeys.

Samsung S2 Pebble

Samsung S2 Pebble

Have you tried squeezing blood out of a stone? How about music out of a pebble? The Samsung S2 Pebble is a screenless MP3 player with an LED just under the surface that blinks different colours as you listen to music.

Asus Eee Box

Asus Eee Box

We've got mixed feelings about the Eee Box, and nettops in general. You might as well buy a netbook and gain the bonus of portability.

Panasonic SDR-SW20

Panasonic SDR-SW20

The cool factor of waterproof gadgets is high, even when there's a subsequent trade-off in performance. Anyone going any deeper than snorkel depth will need to look elsewhere, but at least the price reflects the compromises made for that cheerily tough exterior.

    Nokia N85

    It's hard to knock a phone that has all the current popular technologies, but it would have still been great for Nokia to consider new technologies for this latest N-Series range, particularly a media sharing networking protocol.
