Reviews

  • Apple iMac 27-inch (Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz)

    Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available, and added a few useful extras to sweeten the deal.

  • Apple Magic Mouse

    The Magic Mouse introduces some new innovations, but its long-term comfort and lack of customisability puts it behind the competition.

  • Mophie Juice Pack Air

    It costs a pretty penny, but for people who need more juice in their iPhone, the Juice Pack Air is worth every cent.

  • Gigabyte Booktop M1022M

    The Booktop may be on the costly side, thanks to the bundled docking station, but it still falls below "premium" netbook costs. Plus the excellent battery life and ability to switch from a desk-bound PC to a portable mini-laptop captured our attention.

  • Samsung N110

    An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.

  • Sony Vaio W

    Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.

  • Dell Mini 10v

    Dell's Mini 10v keeps a lot of the features of the more expensive Mini 10, while dropping the price to AU$549. It's one of only a handful of AU$600 netbooks that doesn't look and feel especially cheap.

  • Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

    Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
