Reviews

Acer Aspire Timeline 4810T

Since when did vendor battery claims actually represent the truth? Acer's Timeline notebook just keeps going and going and going, but it's a pity that it's otherwise underpowered and hampered by Windows Vista.
Belkin Powerline AV Networking Adapters

Belkin's take on power line networking benefits from a streamlined design compared to many Ethernet over power products, but still doesn't deliver on the hype.
HP Pavilion dv6-1128tx

The dv6 is a gorgeous laptop for quite an affordable price. If you're looking in the 16-inch space, definitely check this one out.
Dell Latitude 2100

The Latitude 2100 is an interesting answer to customising for the needs of schools. As a by-product, Dell has created a robust little netbook that can just as easily be tossed around by any techie who likes to work roughly.
Panasonic Toughbook CF-W7

The Toughbook CF-W7 isn't bad. It's designed for a specialised niche, and if you're constantly exposed to water we'd say it'd be a good choice. We'd expect more for our money though, and would otherwise be more tempted to pick up a Thinkpad for general ruggedness.
Belkin N+ Wireless Storage Router

Belkin's N+ Wireless Storage Router leaps ahead of the wireless-N pack, and finally delivers a wireless-N router worth owning.
Samsung N120

Samsung's netbook is an excellent entry into the Australian market, and an incredibly tempting buy for anyone looking in this space.
MSI X-Slim X340

Ultimately MSI's X-Slim X340 is a disappointment. It is reasonably attractive, but it's not worth the price due to the horrible keyboard and budget touchpad.
