Reviews

  • Optus E1762 USB Modem

    The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.

  • Avira AntiVir 9

    AntiVir 9 doesn't appear to have changed much — but that's only because the interface sports the slightest of what's new. One-click infection removal, rolled-in anti-spyware and other strong security enhancements top the feature list.

  • Dell Inspiron Mini 12

    The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is a good size and features lots of storage, but is hampered by its sluggish performance and inability to stay on your lap.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-SR10

    The SR10 offers a good balance between value and quality in the emerging consumer HD video space.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook V1010

    The thoroughly average Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 has a lovely display, solid battery life, and relatively trim weight, but it lacks the features of similarly priced systems. You can get more for your money elsewhere.

  • Sunbelt CounterSpy 2.0

    In its first appearance, CounterSpy was the only antispyware product that correctly identified every piece of spyware in our current active-detection test.

  • Norton AntiVirus 2008

    As we await final code and therefore test results on the overall performance of this year's version of Norton AntiVirus, the new interface and features alone do not suggest an automatic KO in our latest antivirus roundup of 2008 products.

  • Samsung SBH170

    While the SBH170s have the best range we've seen, poor audio quality lets these headphones down.
