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.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook V1010

    The thoroughly average Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 has a lovely display, solid battery life, and relatively trim weight, but it lacks the features of similarly priced systems. You can get more for your money elsewhere.

  • 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.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook E8410

    The well-rounded Fujitsu LifeBook E8410 gives corporate users a broad feature set, enterprise-level security, and decent performance and battery life.

  • 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.

  • Toshiba Tecra A8

    Though larger businesses might be willing to pay for a richer feature set, the Toshiba Tecra A8 is an affordable, basic laptop for individuals and small-business users.

  • MSI MEGABOOK M675

    Intel has the upperhand when it comes to dual-core processing, and though this is a valiant attempt by MSI at incorporating the competitor AMD, the execution is found wanting.

  • Lenovo 3000 N100

    In addition to a set of features and connections suitable for the small-business user, the Lenovo 3000 N100 delivers strong components and performance at a competitive price.
