Apple iMac 27-inch unboxing

Apple's new giant iMac is in the house, and we've unpacked it and poked around a little.

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

  • HP Compaq 2510p

    HP's no-nonsense ultraportable laptop scores for its solid construction and some biz-friendly features, but the Compaq 2510p costs just as much as the flashy, consumer-oriented competition.

  • Toshiba Portege R500

    Toshiba's much-anticipated Portege R500 may be the best ultraportable laptop available right now, but mobile broadband is conspicuously absent.

  • ASUS V1J

    The V1J doesn't come cheap but it offers very solid all-round performance and will suit a wide range of users thanks to its fingerprint reader, spill-proof keyboard and high resolution, non-glossy display.

  • Pioneer DreamBook Light 350S

    At AU$999, the DreamBook Light 350S is one of the cheapest notebooks money can buy. You get what you pay for, however.

  • 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.

  • BenQ Joybook A33E

    The A33E is a reasonable notebook for those on a budget, but its dearth of features and low battery life when compared to some of its competitors is undoubtedly a deterrent.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-TX17

    Though it's pricy, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX17 delivers a great combination of business and entertainment features, long battery life, and unparalleled connectivity in an incredibly ultraportable package.

  • ThinkPad X32

    For businesspeople who work long hours on the road, the ThinkPad X32 offers an excellent combination of light weight, sufficient screen and keyboard space, plenty of ports and lengthy battery life.
