Reviews

  • HP TouchSmart IQ505a

    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.

  • Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000

    Despite its uninspired software, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-5000 proves its worth with outstanding image quality, a funky and useful design, and low price.

  • Dell 2408WFP

    While the 2408wfp is more evolution than revolution, when all this goes for under AU$1,000 it's hard to pass up, especially if you're looking for something in the size range.

  • Asus EN9600 GT

    Nvidia's new GeForce 9600 GT graphics chip gives the Asus EN9600 GT some of the best bang-for-the-buck we've seen in a midrange 3D card.

  • Dell XPS 630

    With its newest full-fledged gaming PC, Dell shows that it understands the mainstream gaming desktop as well as the high-end.

  • Dell 3008WFP

    With a crazy number of inputs, 1080p over component and good rendering of 1080i, this screen has set itself up as a potential TV replacement, let alone a huge monitor. This one's the new king.

  • Dell Latitude D630

    Corporate users can't go wrong with the Dell Latitude D630, which integrates Intel's latest mobile platform with a business-friendly feature set and a long-lived extended battery.

  • InFocus IN78

    With the PlayBig IN78, InFocus cushions its 1080p no-show with a tweaked version of its popular 720p PlayBig home theatre projectors now featuring Imaging Science Foundation 3C professional calibration support.
