Reviews

  • Acer Aspire 5536

    The Acer Aspire 5536 is a little light on battery, but it's a good all-rounder for anyone seeking an affordable laptop with a big screen and keyboard.

  • Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

    Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.

  • Seagate FreeAgent Theater

    Its poor video support means it's not perfect, but if you have a FreeAgent portable hard drive it's quite a capable photo and audio streamer.

  • Yamaha RX-V663

    The Yamaha RX-V663 sounds great, but it's tough to recommend with its paltry HDMI connectivity, poor upconversion quality, and other design quirks.

  • Pioneer VSX-1018AH

    The Pioneer VSX-1018AH's solid sound and generous feature package make it great value in the midrange AV receiver class.

  • MSI EX720

    MSI's EX720 isn't a bad laptop, but it certainly strikes as one with too many shortcuts taken. Still at AU$1,649 it's affordable, and if you're budget and technically minded you'll likely get some decent mileage out of this laptop.

  • Call of Duty: World at War

    World at War brings proven Call of Duty mechanics back to WWII with great success.

  • Tom Clancy's EndWar

    At its core, EndWar is a bit too simple, but it does offer a unique voice command system and terrific production values.
