Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem
This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.

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.

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