Reviews

  • Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (June 2009)

    Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.

  • Apple MacBook (June 2009)

    For AU$1599, it's hard to beat this MacBook's nearly Pro-level specs if you're in the market for a budget Apple laptop.

  • HP Photosmart C309a Premium Fax All-in-One Printer

    The C390a follows in the footsteps of recent HP multifunction devices by delivering excellent quality prints in a stylish, fully featured unit. If it weren't for the initial and ongoing running costs, this would be the ideal solution for a home or small office MFD.

  • Belkin N+ Wireless Storage Router

    Belkin's N+ Wireless Storage Router leaps ahead of the wireless-N pack, and finally delivers a wireless-N router worth owning.

  • iRiver P7

    The iRiver P7 is like a beautifully crafted concept car with a frustrating lack of horsepower, but the price is compelling.

  • LG Shine (TU720)

    LG makes some of our favourite prepaid handsets, and the TU720 is no exception. This new Shine matches good looks with great basic functionality and an excellent online experience.

  • LG Arena

    LG's touchscreen features class-leading multimedia support, but we're not convinced it makes an excellent phone. Its flashy new interface looks great but tends to make things slower and more difficult.

  • Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N

    The Linksys WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients.

  • Pioneer VSX-819H hits the sweet spot for AV receivers

    All of Pioneer's new AV receivers at CES 2009 score pretty well on the price-to-feature metric, but the VSX-819H hits the sweet spot.

  • iHome's iPod systems

    You don't necessarily associate the iHome brand with "premium" audio and cutting-edge design, but the folks there are giving it their best shot with the upcoming 100-Watt iP1, which features a whole new look for the company known for its budget iPod audio systems.
