Reviews

  • Amazon Kindle

    The Kindle makes reading more portable than a sackful of books and is likely to inspire you to read more than ever before.

  • Apple iMac 27-inch (Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz)

    Behind its expansive display, Apple has packed one of the fastest all-in-ones available, and added a few useful extras to sweeten the deal.

  • Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem

    This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.

  • Logitech G330

    The G330 may not sound great, but it's certainly one of the most comfortable headphones around.

  • Corel Digital Studio 2010

    A majority of home users will appreciate Corel Digital Studio's feature set, its interactive projects, and wide support for photo and video formats.

  • Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010

    Going by older detection and removal numbers, Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware offers competent if basic security protection. However, so do many free competitors. This year, we recommend giving Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010 a pass.

    Outdoor types and those who want fuzzy warm green feelings will love the powergorilla and solargorilla, as long as they can bear the price.

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)

    Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been — it's where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now.

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (Professional)

    Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

  • Corel Home Office

    Despite some compatibility setbacks, Corel Home Office suite is useful for creating documents. Its conscientious size, small-screen optimisations, and attractive price make it a good buy for a Netbook office suite, or for saving space by shedding advanced features.

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (Ultimate)

    Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

  • Asus EeePC 901

    The Eee is now faster, looks nicer, and has better battery life. It's also heavier and the keyboard is still too small, but we like it. A lot.

  • i-mate Ultimate 9502

    The i-mate Ultimate 9502 is one of the best smartphones we have come across -- and if you're happy with Telstra -- the i-mate 9502 makes an excellent alternative to a Blackberry or iPhone.

  • Lowepro Fastpack 250

    Although it's a solid backpack for toting some pro gear and a large laptop, the Lowepro Fastpack 250's design still has a few rough edges.

  • Samsung YP-T10

    Samsung's super-cute player has several enchanting features — including a dancing dog — but its touch-sensitive controls can be temperamental.

  • Lowepro Fastpack 100

    A solid, compact backpack, the Lowepro Fastpack 100 lets you carry a dSLR and a lens or two, plus some personal items in comfort.

  • Archos 705 Wi-Fi

    The Archos 705 WiFi is the biggest, baddest PVP on the market. What you get in screen size, however, you pay for in portability and picture quality.

  • Tamrac Expedition 5

    While most camera backpacks tend to be very large, this midsize backpack is just right for non-pros who want to bring along a larger telephoto lens, as well as flashes, and some other gear.

  • Alienware Area-51 m9750

    Alienware's flagship gaming laptop, the Area-51 m9750, has plenty of appeal for high-end gamers, but the alien head aesthetic seems dated, and newer components are right around the corner.
