Reviews

  • Sony VAIO FJ68GP/W

    The VAIO FJ68GP/W continues Sony's tradition of stylish, feature-rich notebooks. Its performance is also impressive, making it a great choice for those with an AU$2000 budget.

  • Optima Centoris KN (15.4-inch, 1.73GHz)

    The Optima Centoris KN offers top performance and above-average battery life. It's a great notebook, if you can live with the lack of certain features and its added bulk.

  • 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.

  • Dell Inspiron 630m (14.1-inch, 1.6GHz)

    Dell's Inspiron 630m is undoubtedly the king of the budget notebook hill. Its battery life blitzes the competition, and its performance and features are also top notch.

  • HP Compaq Presario B2823TX

    The glossy white casing is certainly unique. Though equipped with a dedicated graphics card on the previous Centrino chipset, the performance of this unit is unfortunately only average.

  • Toshiba Satellite M50 (14-inch, 1.4GHz)

    Despite its extremely affordable price and logical design, the M50 fails to stand out in terms of performance, features or battery life.

  • HP Compaq Presario B1801TU

    The HP Compaq Presario B1801TU, with its lightweight 1.6kg chassis and pleasing battery life would be a great companion for the road warrior, if not for its dismal performance when compared to competing offerings.

  • Dell Inspiron 630m (14.1-inch, 2GHz)

    Dell's mid-range Inspiron 630m provides excellent value for money with a hearty system under its hood, a 14.1-inch widescreen display and the option of Windows Media Center.
