Reviews

  • Apple Time Capsule (1TB) Network Storage

    Apple's hybrid 802.11n wireless router/networked hard drive offers some powerful data backup features for Mac owners, but Windows users and those who demand speed from their 802.11n network will be disappointed.

  • O2 Xda Zinc

    With a faster processor, the Xda Zinc has a slight performance edge over the Dopod 838 Pro but falls short by a slight margin in terms of aesthetics. Unless you're looking for a QWERTY handheld, there are more options out there.

  • Asus W5F

    A compact laptop that includes unexpected extras such as an integrated optical drive and webcam, but is expensive against similarly specced rivals.

  • ASUS V1J

    The V1J doesn't come cheap but it offers very solid all-round performance and will suit a wide range of users thanks to its fingerprint reader, spill-proof keyboard and high resolution, non-glossy display.

  • Dopod 838 Pro

    An extremely well-equipped Pocket PC PDA-phone, Dopod has made sure that the 3G-enabled 838 Pro balances features with power so it doesn't leave you hanging when you need to access applications like Skype.

  • BenQ Joybook R55

    Given its impressive performance, generous software bundle and superb screen, at just AU$2299 the R55 is a rare bargain.

  • Samsung R65

    The Samsung R65 is an overpriced, underperformer that is beaten by cheaper alternatives.

  • O2 Xda Atom Exec

    An incremental upgrade to the Atom, the Atom Exec is an incredibly feature-rich, well-designed smartphone.
