Reviews

Dell Inspiron Zino HD

While our review sample doesn't quite have the power to be a usable HTPC, if you're willing to spend a little more Dell offers the upgrades to get there.
Sony Vaio VPCL118FG/B

Sony's all-in-one PC isn't cheap and it could do with more storage, but otherwise it's a highly attractive option for those who crave simplicity.
Dell IN1910N

The Dell IN1910N is an economy monitor that sacrifices too much in terms of performance and features to achieve its low price tag. We recommend saving up for a better model.
Internode MiFi

Internode's MiFi 3G modem/router works quite well, but carrier issues and high pricing are a big downside.
Apple Mac Mini (Late 2009)

If you demand a small, relatively affordable Mac, the Mac Mini is your only option. Otherwise, you can find Windows-based small form factor desktops that offer more interesting features with better value.
LG New Chocolate Slide

LG's New Chocolate Slide is the beauty queen of mobile phones; it's a sleek, sexy handset with precious little going on under the glowing lights and glossy black exterior.
Tigers Electronics Giada N10

The Giada N10 is a quick nettop with a nice keyboard, but it's still not good enough for our money.
LG New Chocolate

If you're looking for an excellent touchscreen with outstanding performance, look elsewhere. The LG New Chocolate looks great but lacks all the hallmarks of a great phone.
