Reviews

Samsung U4

The U4 is an attractive compact player with a bit of flair, but test out the touch buttons before shelling out your dosh.
Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.
Lexar JumpDrive 360 (1GB)

The JumpDrive 360 is more than your average USB memory key with its PowerToGo interface, self-contained application suite and security features. It's the ideal travel companion.
Apple Airport Extreme

If you've got compatible 802.11n-ready gear now, Apple's Airport Extreme takes Wi-Fi speeds up a notch. The USB port for sharing disks is handy, however, network speed takes a hit if you put legacy 802.11b/g devices on your network.
MSI P610 (1GB)

The P610's performance belies its cheap-looking construction, but that wasn't enough for it to trump its higher-capacity competitors.
Dragon NaturallySpeaking Preferred 9

For people who type a lot or suffer sore fingers and hands, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is the best tool available for dictating text and commanding a Web browser by voice, despite the gradual adjustments needed to conform to your personal manner of speaking.
Toshiba Portege R200

Though it's a tad expensive, the Toshiba Portege R200 is a well-designed ultraportable with enough speed and battery life for business travellers.
ThinkPad X32

For businesspeople who work long hours on the road, the ThinkPad X32 offers an excellent combination of light weight, sufficient screen and keyboard space, plenty of ports and lengthy battery life.
