Reviews

Dell Inspiron 15

The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.
Toshiba Satellite L500D

We like the Toshiba Satellite L500D, it's amazing value for its price. However, we think it's worth paying the extra AU$200 for the version with the less power hungry GPU.
Sony Ericsson S312

Though its spec sheet is a little thin, the S312 looks like it has the solid build of an excellent low-end mobile.
Sony Ericsson T303

As far as small phones go, the T303 is solid and attractive. Unfortunately it lacks features such as an expandable memory slot and 3G network compatibility.
LG Shine Bar (KE770)

The Shine Bar shares the celebrity good-looks of its parent phone, but a few basic flaws hold it back from being truly desirable, even for the budget price tag.
Sony Ericsson K660i

The K660i shares most of its specs with budget-priced phones, with the addition of HSDPA data speeds, and minus the budget price tag.
Toshiba Satellite M200 (Core 2 Duo 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM)

Toshiba's M200 feels great, but doesn't stand out against an oncoming slew of budget competitors.
Sagem my411x

Poor call quality ruins an otherwise sexy and affordable handset.
