Oi! Take a squiz at what's hot!

An Apple for the teacher (and the student, too)

Tasty-looking Apple toys.

School, uni and TAFE are back in session for another long year. Summer days spent lolling on the sand are fading as fast as a budget spray tan. It's all a bit sad, really.

Well cheer up all you academic types, because at least your student status allows you to buy some shiny tech things on the cheap.

Apple, home of the much-abused (according to anecdotal evidence) 10 percent education discount, is offering an additional rebate for students and teachers looking to purchase a new computer and iPod. The deal is valid for orders placed between now and April 16, and puts $199 back in your pocket after you send a barcode or two to the powers that be.

All new MacBooks, MacBook Pros, iMacs with SuperDrive and Mac Pros qualify for the rebate, as do all iPods and iPod Nanos. (Sorry shrapnel-saving students: Shuffles have been shunted.) You will need to buy a Mac and an iPod at the same time, either through the Apple Store for Education online, or via authorised Apple Education resellers.

For more info on the rebate, and a link to the form you'll need to send to get your hands on those two hundred clams, visit Apple's site.

      Thanks to 1080p output, TV tuner, Blu-ray player and wall mount, the new TouchSmart blurs the distinction between television and computer even further.

      Acer's Aspire Predator ticks most of the boxes for an enthusiast's machine, but the interior is a let down.

      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.

      If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.

      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.
