With Earth Hour making us aware of the need to conserve electricity, we conduct a real-world test to see just how much our TVs, computers and other home electronics equipment costs to run.

Reviews

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • Creative Zen Stone

    Creative's pebble-like Zen Stone takes on the iPod Shuffle. It has a lower price and better sound but lacks the brand aura and tactility of the Shuffle.

  • Apple iPod (updated fifth generation, 80GB)

    The new "enhanced" iPod looks like a tremendous improvement over the last one, with a brighter screen and better battery life.

  • LaCie d2 DVD+/-RW FireWire and USB 2.0 with LightScribe (16X/8X/2.4X)

    The LaCie d2 USB/FireWire drive is an average product offering only adequate features and performance, though the LightScribe feature could be useful.

  • Sony NW-HD5

    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.

  • Iomega Super DVD Writer

    Iomega's Super DVD Writer is a fast external burner that offers hassle-free USB setup and a decent software bundle.

  • Apple iPod (60GB, colour)

    Though it no longer comes with such extras as a dock or an A/V cable, the photo-enabled iPod (née iPod Photo) is, pound for pound, the best iPod available.
