Reviews

  • 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.

  • Nokia N95

    If you need an all-in-one communications, navigation and imaging device and don't mind charging it every night, Nokia's N95 raises the bar in the mobile world.

  • Microsoft Xbox 360 HD-DVD player

    While it doesn't offer HDMI connectivity, the Xbox 360 HD DVD player matches up well against stand-alone HD DVD players, and it's a relative bargain at AU$249.95.

  • Apple Mac Mini Core Duo

    Apple packs more media-specific features into the Mac Mini to make an inexpensive and useful entertainment-room computer. It's tremendously easy to use, although it surprised us with poor image processing.

  • Apple iTunes 6

    Version 6 of Apple iTunes is the perfect complement to the video-friendly iPod.

  • NEC HT510G

    Nicely designed and with all required connectivity, the NEC HT510 is a good-value home projector.

  • Apple PowerBook G4 (17-inch, SuperDrive)

    The foxy Apple 17-inch PowerBook delivers the performance and the features most users will need, but it's more expensive than a similarly outfitted Windows laptop.

  • Archos Gmini 400

    Vastly portable and filled to the brim with features, the Archos Gmini 400's essential missing ingredient is its lack of MTP and Janus support.
