  • Confessions of a naked Mac user

    I caved in. I had all intentions of pre-emptively spending my $900 government handout on a $700 HP netbook this weekend. But I was pwned by a shiny little MacBook in about the time it took white hat Charlie Miller to hack its upscale brother, the MacBook Air.

  • HP ProBook 4310s

    If you find that the price is right and you are only planning on doing menial tasks, you could do a lot worse than the HP ProBook.

  • HP 2159m

    HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.

  • HP w185

    Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.

  • HP Mini 5101

    HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.

  • HP Officejet 6000

    We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, it performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.
