    How sloppy is your network?

    Every IT administrator knows the consequences of network downtime -- mass staff whining, a total help desk meltdown, and really vicious complaints from the same senior managers who stripped the budget of the funds required to keep the network running in the first place.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro M300

    Toshiba, who built one of the world's first notebooks, clearly has a head start in the race to put a laptop on every desk. The AU$1,210 Satellite M300 is a step in the right direction, being a modest, yet high quality desktop replacement at a reasonable price.

  • Toshiba Satellite M200 (Core 2 Duo 1.5GHz, 1GB RAM)

    Toshiba's M200 feels great, but doesn't stand out against an oncoming slew of budget competitors.

  • Toshiba Satellite M50 (14-inch, 1.4GHz)

    Despite its extremely affordable price and logical design, the M50 fails to stand out in terms of performance, features or battery life.
