Reviews

  • Gateway ID

    Gateway's ID series is all about power, the 15.6-inch laptop providing what you need for every day use.

  • Gateway EC

    Gateway's EC series is small, but packs a punch. Coming in at the favourite screen size of 13.3-inches, this is the strongest player in its line up.

  • Gateway NV

    Gateway's NV series is its all-rounder, based on the Pentium processor from Intel.

  • Gateway LT

    Gateway's LT has an 11.6-inch screen and is powered by AMD's single core Athlon 64 chip.

  • Engin oneHub ST790

    Engin's oneHub benefits from simplicity, but also suffers from it in comparison to other all-in-one router/VoIP solutions.

  • Edimax nMax AR-7265Wn Wireless 802.11n ADSL2/2+ modem router

    Edimax's 802.11n router combines a perfect storm of poor throughput and unfriendly set-up routines to make a modem/router that's incredibly easy to pass by.

  • Linksys WAG160N Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway

    Linksys' WAG160N resides in an attractive package, and manages better than most Wireless N routers. Better than most, but still nowhere near the hype.

  • Billion BiPAC 7300N Draft 802.11n ADSL2+/Broadband Router

    It's not much of a looker, and it struggles in signal strength, but Billion's 7300N ADSL2+ Modem/Router has grunt where it really counts.
