• Acer Extensa 5635Z

  The Extensa is a business laptop with no particular frills. That's not a bad thing per se, but it's tough to get too excited about it, either.

• HP StorageWorks X500 Data Vault

  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.

• D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615

  At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.

• Seagate Barracuda XT

  The Barracuda XT is a 7200rpm 3.5-inch desktop drive featuring 2TB of storage capacity and a fast Serial ATA (SATA) 6Gb/second interface.

• Google Wave

  Developers make good stress testers, and the initial Wave service has had a lot of testing in the last few months. We take a ride on the wave, which should be opening to a wider beta program at the end of September.

• Asus RT-N16 Wireless Router

  Asus' high-end wireless router has plenty of throughput grunt, but we do wish the company would offer better support documentation.

• Lenovo ThinkServer RD210

  Lenovo's RD210 makes perfect sense if you're a small business that just needs a grunty all-purpose 1RU server.

• iiNet BoB wireless modem

  iiNet customers who yearn for a simple networking life will do well out of BoB, although like most routers, it's not without its quirks.

• Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2

  SCVMM 2008 R2 is a very competent product, neatly bringing Microsoft's virtualisation management offering in line with the competition at the same time as offering management of disparate platforms in the one product. The integration with the rest of the Systems Center suite makes the overall management and monitoring experience better than its rivals.

• Tandberg DPS1200 VTL

  While the lack of supported online expansion and de-dupe is a concern, if you need your tape backups to go faster, Tandberg's DPS1200 VTL may deliver what you need.

• Adaptec MaxIQ

  Adaptec has upped the enterprise storage ante by incorporating an SSD as a cache on its 2 and 5 series controllers, calling the technology MaxIQ.

• HP Compaq t5730w Thin Client

  Designed for use with server-based desktops such as Terminal Services, Citrix and VMware View, HP's t5730w is an excellent mid-range device suitable for most office applications.

• Samsung Galaxy Icon

  While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.

• Samsung HD Icon

  If you have a desktop hard drive full of media files that you wish you could take with you on the train to work, there is no better phone than the HD Icon.

• Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2010

  Trend Micro Internet Security Pro's broad feature set combined with its look and feel make it a serious contender, but questionable efficacy and middling performance mean it's a program we're not recommending for this year.
