Reviews

  • Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

    The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic phone works well as a music player — a larger memory card would be useful — but achieves relatively average results as a phone.

  • Dell XPS M2010

    A striking feat of engineering that's sure to garner attention in a stylish home or on a multimedia-intensive sales call, the Dell XPS M2010 is simply too expensive and impractical to be anything more than a curio for the rest of us.

  • Apple MacBook (2.0GHz, 13-inch, black)

    With the MacBook, Apple has corrected a handful of the iBook's shortcomings, hit a reasonable price point, and delivered a laptop that makes a great compromise between size and portability.

  • Xbox 360

    The first 'next generation' console to hit Australia, the Xbox 360 promises plenty of extras aside from gaming. Should you rush out and buy one? Read our extensive Australian review to find out.

  • Archos Gmini 402

    If you want video and audio in your jeans pocket, get the Archos Gmini 402.

    Sony's 20GB NW-HD5 and the iPod are both dead simple to use, but the HD5 is smaller, and its removable battery lasts much longer.

  • Apple iTunes 4.9

    Apple iTunes remains the easiest way to rip, organise and play digital music but still lacks an Australian music store. New in version 4.9 are built-in podcast features.

  • Apple Power Mac G5 dual 2.7GHz

    Apple's latest high-end Power Mac G5 is a blazing machine that stands up without blinking to the best of the competition, but we're still annoyed by some of its shortcomings.
