  • Lenovo ThinkStation S20

    This is a well-built workstation with quad-core power to spare, although it could do with more storage options...

  • Four mid-range servers compared

    What's the best mid-range server on the market? We put machines from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Lenovo through their paces in our labs.

  • Xenon Nitro Z5 Visual Workstation

    If you are in a processing/graphics-intensive role and your employer wants to increase your productivity, then start your purchase requisition for a Xenon Nitro Z5 Visual Workstation.

  • Samsung C5220

    The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.

  • Dell OptiPlex 960

    If you're shopping at the premium end of the business desktop market, you'll be hard-pressed to do better than the Dell OptiPlex 960.

  • BenQ Joybook Lite U101

    Possibly the first netbook to be drop tested and equipped with a 16:9 aspect ratio display, BenQ's first Atom-based model is a hardy number with an interesting design.

  • Asus TS500-E5 tower server

    Asus' TS500 offers reliability, speed and efficiency at a low price for a mid-range tower server. However, case design is not ideal, and the system strangely requires a PS2 keyboard and mouse.

  • ASUS Eee Box

    Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.

  • Lenovo ThinkCentre A57

    The Lenovo A57 is a well-priced office desktop with a strong performance. While very similar to its smaller sibling, the M57e, the A57 offers better performance and upgrade options for a small price increase.

  • HP StorageWorks AiO600

    The StorageWorks AiO600 will make your job easy if you need to migrate an Exchange or SQL Server as the wizards and ASM are very user friendly. If, however, you do not need all this then perhaps a NAS box with less bells and whistles may be a better bet.

  • HP StorageWorks D2D110

    An affordable intermediate backup device for SMBs who want to take advantage of iSCSI. And with seamless integration and good performance the D2D110 is an excellent addition to any existing backup system.

  • Round-up: Dual-core servers

    Multi-core processors deliver many benefits, including much-improved performance per watt, over single-core designs. We examine three dual-core servers from the leading vendors to see what this technology can do for your business.

  • HP ProLiant ML370 G5

    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.

  • Apple iPhone pros and cons

    Only two iPhones were on public display at Macworld but CNET.com.au's Jeremy Roche managed to get hold of one. Here's his verdict.

  • Dell announces first quad-core servers

    Dell has launched its much-anticipated range of servers and desktops based on Intel's quad-core Xeon processor.
