Lexmark's S605 carries a premium price, but the clever touchscreen features do justify it.
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.
At first glance, the Vostro 1220 looks like an ultraportable notebook that was born from Dell's consumer range. But instead Dell has created its own little niche, targeting the more fashion-conscious business user on a budget.
The Booktop may be on the costly side, thanks to the bundled docking station, but it still falls below "premium" netbook costs. Plus the excellent battery life and ability to switch from a desk-bound PC to a portable mini-laptop captured our attention.
It lacks some basic features you may require touch pad, optical drive but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.
Sony Ericsson's Naite isn't a heart-starter but let's face it, the reason you'd buy the Naite is for the secret pleasure of knowing your phone is slightly less of a burden on the environment than those wretched iPhones.
Asus' Lamborghini VX5 is a luxury laptop, with a luxury price to match thankfully justified by the quality of the laptop and package. If you've got a wad of cash burning in your pocket, and don't mind a little luxury, the VX5 might be for you.
A fascinating development in the rather ragged history of Windows Home Server, HP's StorageWorks X500 Data Vault range has been pointed at the small to medium business.
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.
ViewSonic VX2433wm is a low-priced monitor with acceptable performance for everyday tasks.
An easy-to-use netbook with a long battery life, but there are cheaper options.
Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.
Core i7 is here in mobile form. Some vendors will be attempting to rush these laptops out as close to the Windows 7 launch as possible. Keep an eye out looks like the season to upgrade is well and truly upon us.
The NC10 betters previous Samsung netbooks with a built-in HSDPA SIM card reader and the portability this provides. Optus wireless broadband bundles seem like excellent value.
Asus' inexpensive 802.11n router is a bit of a bargain, although it does also bring with it some bargain basement sensibilities.
