Reviews

MSI X-Slim X340

Ultimately MSI's X-Slim X340 is a disappointment. It is reasonably attractive, but it's not worth the price due to the horrible keyboard and budget touchpad.
Creative Zen Mozaic

The unfeasibly cute Mozaic is a budget player with decent sound quality and a surprisingly powerful speaker, but its toy-like looks won't be to everyone's tastes.
Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras, the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS lens

A lightweight, compact design with its stabilisation and an affordable price make the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS a versatile lens for entry-level shooters and amateurs on a budget.
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Special Media Edition)

Office 2008 for Mac may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less expensive alternatives.
Telstra Next G Prepaid Broadband

Telstra's prepaid wireless broadband offering is good for casual browsers or those who'd rather avoid dodgy Net cafes, but beware — there's a pricing sting to be considered.
Logitech G51

Logitech's G51 should keep most gamers on a moderate budget very happy with their performance. Those who want the ultimate in clarity though should keep saving the pennies for the long time king of the hill, the Logitech Z-5500.
Apple Final Cut Studio 2

Final Cut Studio 2 is a solid value and worthy upgrade for serious film editors who work on Macs. However, hobbyists should consider simpler software.
