Reviews

  • HTC Touch Diamond

    HTC's Touch Diamond crams a multitude of features into a compact and stylish device, topped off by a flashy user interface. However, the TouchFLO 3D interface has too many rough edges and the battery life is terrible.

  • BenQ Joybook R45

    BenQ's Joybook R45 is a good laptop at a great price — and will be even better once you get an extra gigabyte of RAM in there.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (Beta)

    Adobe's latest incarnation of Acrobat is top of the line, highly featured software. Just make sure you need all the bells and whistles before you pay the AU$999 price tag.

  • Dell Latitude XT

    This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.

  • ASUS M70SA

    With a mass of storage and a large breadth of features, the M70SA from ASUS is a solid performer and a decent media centre/desktop replacement to boot.

  • Adobe Photoshop Express beta

  • i-mate Ultimate 6150

    The Ultimate 6150 goes like grease lightning but be warned: you'll need deep pockets to own one, and not just to pay the price tag.

  • Sony VPL-CX155

    The well-built and stylish Sony VPL-CX155 is easy to use and features impressive networking capabilities. However, for a business projector with such a high price tag, poor image quality and a lack of Wi-Fi may leave users wanting more.
