Reviews

WD My Passport Elite 500GB

Desktop users who need a portable drive will find the My Passport Elite endearing, although the dock could stand to be a little more user friendly.
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.
Sangean DPR-69 Plus

Sangean's cute DRP-69 Plus isn't quite portable or desk bound, and isn't quite sharp enough to make it a must-have DAB.
Cygnett Maestro Portable Speaker System for iPhone & iPod

The Maestro does a lot of things right for its AU$189.95 asking price. It produces good sound and is cross-compatible with a range of iPods and iPhones, but it's also light on exciting features.
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.
Asus UX30

The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.
HP SimpleSave Portable 320GB

HP's SimpleSave portable drive does make backups simple, as long as your file names aren't too long.
