Optima reviews

Optima WorkPro 7000T

For those after a sub-AU$1500 PC, the Optima WorkPro 7000T offers the best bang-for-buck we've seen so far. Highly recommended.

Optima Centoris RW

Optima's Centoris RW is well-suited to mobile professionals on a budget, thanks to its lightweight chassis and pleasing feature-set. It's far from perfect, however.

Optima Centoris KN (15.4-inch, 1.73GHz)

The Optima Centoris KN offers top performance and above-average battery life. It's a great notebook, if you can live with the lack of certain features and its added bulk.

Optima's A121 has a nice feature set, but it's still a hard player to recommend.

For a budget notebook, the Centoris W259 packs a wide range of features into its sub-3kg shell.
