Corporate Holiday Gift Guide

Go on, admit it, when you bought your latest notebook you had more in mind than just work. You wanted to optimise your productivity and your enjoyment. We at ZDNet Australia understand that technology is as much a business as it's a lifestyle. So this Christmas we have put together a list of our best business and lifestyle technology from 2007 for you to enjoy.

If your work is creative, you're in a tough market. Your audience is waiting, and in the Internet age they aren't easily impressed. Here are some of the best creative tools from 2007 that will give you an edge.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3

    With its streamlined tools, enhanced non-destructive editing capabilities, and better performance, Adobe Photoshop CS3 will look very attractive to almost any user.

    Why it's a great gift

    If you love photos then you'll love Photoshop. The latest CS3 Photoshop incarnation is considerably faster than CS2, and also features workflow enhancements and a more-streamlined interface.

  • Dell 2407WFP-HC

    Dell has provided an excellent revision to its 2407 series, at an amazing price point. The only reason we can come up with not to buy it is if you desperately need 1080p display resolution.

    Why it's a great gift

    What's the point in having great video performance on a desktop if you've got nothing to show it off on? Dell's 24-inch 2407WFP-HC has great image quality, multiple video inputs and comes at a great price.
