Toshiba Satellite L500D

We like the Toshiba Satellite L500D, it's amazing value for its price. However, we think it's worth paying the extra AU$200 for the version with the less power hungry GPU.

Apple Mac Mini (2009)

Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

Reviews

  • Dell Inspiron 13

    The Dell Inspiron 13 is great for those hampered by a tight budget, but who still want a competent and power-efficient thin-and-light notebook with a decent design.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad U110

    Lenovo's bright red foray into the ultraportable consumer space is for the most part a successful one, despite a few missteps.

  • Toshiba Satellite L300 (Celeron 2GHz, 1GB RAM)

    The Toshiba Satellite L300 is the perfect budget laptop — simply designed and passable in performance.

  • ASUS Lamborghini VX3

    The ASUS Lamborghini VX3 is the laptop recast as a status symbol. It looks and feels like a luxury item; we just wish it had a bit more power under the hood.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook P8010

    While there are elements that are certainly likeable about the P8010, for a business laptop, let alone an ultraportable, the lack of HSDPA could be considered a show stopper for some.

  • Dell XPS One

    Fantastic looks and good media capabilities, but Dell's XPS One is very pricey

  • Toshiba Satellite M200 (Core 2 Duo 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM)

    Toshiba's M200 feels great, but doesn't stand out against an oncoming slew of budget competitors.

  • Acer Aspire 2920 (302G25Mn)

    The Aspire 2920 should suit most people who are on a budget, like to stay portable, but still need a bit of grunt. If it had an HDMI port, it'd almost be the perfect solution
