Reviews

Topfield TFP20

As a portable media player, the Topfield TFP20 is one of the most fully featured and best-performing units currently out in Australia.
Apple MacBook Pro (1.83GHz)

The MacBook Pro delivers unparalleled style, a solid set of features and software, and a few transitional performance issues that keep it from rivaling the most powerful PC laptops.
TDK Tremor xa-60 speakers

The Tremor xa-60 is an attractive, affordable replacement for the horrendous speakers that come bundled with many OEM PCs and notebooks. Audiophiles need not apply, however.
Creative TravelSound 400

Creative's TravelSound 400 is a snazzy, compact set of travel speakers with an "enhanced stereo" option that manages to make sound seem more spread out -- albeit with very little low end.
Archos Gmini 402

If you want video and audio in your jeans pocket, get the Archos Gmini 402.
Apple Power Mac G5 dual 2.5GHz

The 2.5GHz dual-processor Power Mac G5 is an expensive but elegantly designed, fast computer that could use more internal expansion options.
Creative Zen Portable Media Center

The Creative Zen PMC is finally here. Despite its bulk, the player is solid, but it's the Microsoft Portable Media Center software that deserves most of the praise.
