Reviews

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X200

    It lacks some basic features you may require — touch pad, optical drive — but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.

  • Nikon D300s

    The D300s is a fast, reliable workhorse for the semi-professional or amateur photographer, and it feels great to use and makes picture taking a real pleasure. But if you don't need HD video, you might want to try the plain old D300 instead.

  • Sony PlayStation 3 Slim

    With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package at a more affordable price.

  • Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (June 2009)

    Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.

  • SanDisk ImageMate All-In-One USB 2.0 Reader/Writer

    The SanDisk ImageMate reader is a stylish addition to any photographer's arsenal, and with a wide range of support for most card types, it's good value too.

  • HP Photosmart C309a Premium Fax All-in-One Printer

    The C390a follows in the footsteps of recent HP multifunction devices by delivering excellent quality prints in a stylish, fully featured unit. If it weren't for the initial and ongoing running costs, this would be the ideal solution for a home or small office MFD.

  • Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gigabit Router WRT320N

    The Linksys WRT320N forces you to pick either the 2.4GHz or the 5GHz band for your wireless network. Given that, it's not an ideal choice for an environment with both types of wireless clients.

  • Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS

    The Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS is a solid value camera with decent photo quality and a well-rounded feature set, but is let down by poor performance.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700

    Sony's T700 is a winner in the looks department, but beneath the brushed metal exterior lies a clever way to share photos. With 4GB of internal memory and a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, the T700 is a good, if slightly expensive camera, especially given that image quality isn't always up to scratch.

  • Kodak EasyShare M1020

    Despite the large screen and Quick Touch Border feature, the M1020 is priced at AU$349 which is a bit pricey for a digital frame that freezes all too often.

  • Motorola MOTO U9

    Motorola's MOTO U9 would look the part sliding out of a tote bag in an inner city bar, but out of place on the boardroom table. The sleek, smooth finish houses a basic mobile with only a few common phone features.

  • Olympus E-420

    The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.

  • Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS lens

    A lightweight, compact design with its stabilisation and an affordable price make the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS a versatile lens for entry-level shooters and amateurs on a budget.

  • Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router

    Aside from its potentially worrisome heat output, the Linksys WRT310N Wireless-N Gigabit Router is a networking dynamo with chart-topping performance and a sleek (maybe too sleek) design.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300

    Although we like the features and image quality of the W300, it lacks a wide-angle lens which has become a must-have for a premium shooter. While other alternatives in the market may not offer as high a capture resolution as the Sony, they do make up with other features.

  • Ricoh GR Digital II

    The GR Digital II is a cute compact camera that might appeal to street photographers looking to step away from a rangefinder and into digital, but doesn't deliver the features, performance, or image quality it should given its steep price tag.

  • Nikon D60

    Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300

    A great design, fast shooting, and lots of features can't overcome the fact that the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 simply doesn't take very good pictures.

  • Samsung L830

    The Samsung L830 is a compact 8-megapixel camera that offers plenty of manual controls, but its sluggish shooting and disappointing picture quality hold it back.

  • Panasonic HDC-SD5

    The Panasonic HDC-SD5 delivers fantastic HD video and accessible but clever features in a petite package — we just wish it had more memory.
