Reviews

  • 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.

  • NetComm N3G005W 3G Wi-Fi Router

    Renters or those who want to mix and match broadband styles with a dab of 3G will do well with NetComm's N3G005W router, as long as you don't need lots of wired ports.

  • Dell Latitude E6500

    The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.

  • Toshiba Portege R400 (with HSDPA)

    The last year has not been kind to Toshiba's Portege R400. While it retains the advantage of being a tablet, in all other respects the rest of the ultraportable crowd have left it well behind.

  • Toshiba Satellite L300 (Celeron 2GHz, 1GB RAM)

    The Toshiba Satellite L300 is the perfect budget laptop — simply designed and passable in performance.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook N6460

    Amongst the monster "laptops" there's been a heavy focus on multimedia and power, and to a degree, the Fujitsu does well here -- the speakers, lack of Bluetooth and price being the only things that truly cripple it.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook T2010

    The LifeBook T2010 qualifies as a middle of the road offering from Fujitsu. It'll do the job, but you'll want to poke around at its competitors first.

  • Fujitsu LifeBook S6410

    The Fujitsu LifeBook S6410 boasts a brilliant screen, good performance, and useful features -- but we've seen better from the company.
