Acer Extensa 5635Z

The Extensa is a business laptop with no particular frills. That's not a bad thing per se, but it's tough to get too excited about it, either.

Lenovo ThinkPad T400

Lenovo's ThinkPad T400 is another fine entry into its portfolio, but be prepared to spend extra to get the features you need.

Reviews

  • 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.

  • Kaspersky Internet Security 2009

    Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 provides adequate protection, but the program itself could use some work in telling the user what's going on.

  • Toshiba Portege R600

    Toshiba's Portege R600 is one of the best ultraportables on the market, if you're willing to pay the price.

  • McAfee Internet Security 2009

    Once it's up and running, McAfee Internet Security 2009 is competitive with Norton on speed, detection, and removal of malicious software.

  • Norton Internet Security 2009

    Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.

  • ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2009

    ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2009 provides top-notch security protection that is light on system resources, allowing you to work unencumbered.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

    While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2008

    McAfee Internet Security 2008 trounces Norton Internet Security 2008, offering a better designed product with more security tools.
