The desktop is dead, long live the thin client desktop. Following the trend of migrating applications into the datacentre, thin clients have become increasingly popular. We found HP's first mobile thin client to be a reliable system at a reasonable price.
At AU$599, the Photosmart C8180 sits in Hewlett-Packard's lineup as one of its most expensive All-in-One (AIO) players. With a suite of features, it's not without a few missteps. The photo quality is better than average and the hardware is well-designed, but the lack of an auto-document feeder (ADF) and painfully slow print speed prevent us from giving this otherwise excellent printer a better rating.
The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well " but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.
Despite an underpowered CPU, the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC offers the best balance of small size, comfort, and functionality we've seen in a mini-notebook, making it fast a favourite for on-the-go use.
The 6720s is a budget business notebook that could fit the bill if you don't need serious CPU or graphics power, and are likely to spend most of your time in the office rather than on the road.
Hewlett-Packard's new TouchSmart PC is more likely to popularise touch-based communications than Apple's iPhone, a senior HP executive claimed.
A good value laptop that outperforms many other notebooks at the same price -- the only feature missing is a DVD burner.
It can handle a wide range of backend business applications, but HP's Proliant ML370 G5 is over-specified for organisations with more modest requirements.
The HP LP2465 is a great business LCD, should your workday require a huge, wide-screen display. Trouble is, Dell has a similar display that gives you more features for a cheaper price.
Ready for a wired or Wi-Fi network, the HP Deskjet 6840 handles text and photos well for a small business or a home.
This great all-in-one costs more than most but delivers on speed, print quality, and features.
This is a decent printer for the photo enthusiast or scrapbooker who wants the amenities of a consumer printer in the size of a medium-format model.
HP's Media Center PC is a great entertainment PC for displaying photos, watching movies and playing games at home.
With more than six hours of battery life, the sturdy nx5000 is a good choice for frequent flyers and desk jockeys.
The 5652 is HP's latest top-of-the-line Deskjet offering. Does it justify its top-of-the-line price?
