Reviews

Samsung N110

An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
Samsung NC10

The NC10 betters previous Samsung netbooks with a built-in HSDPA SIM card reader and the portability this provides. Optus wireless broadband bundles seem like excellent value.
Asus UX30

The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.
Optus E1762 USB Modem

The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.
LG Xenon

Matching a touchscreen with a full-QWERTY keyboard at this price point is fantastic. Anyone looking to make their cyber-life mobile should check out the Xenon.
LG KS360 (WebSlider)

With touchscreen numeric input, a full QWERTY keyboard and super-cheap price tag, there's no better phone for teens that love to message.
Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.
Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition

While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.
