  • Apple MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 17-inch)

    A little late to the party, Apple's redesigned 17-inch MacBook Pro joins the 15-inch model with a redesigned aluminium body, new trackpad with expanded functionality, and a dual graphics set-up for either longer battery life or better performance.

  • Dell Studio XPS 16

    The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.

  • HP Mini 2140

    HP offers a premium aluminium-clad version of its plastic Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the business netbook to beat.

  • InFocus IN1100 projector

    This versatile 1.25kg DLP projector is among the first to support DisplayLink, which allows mobile professionals to ditch the VGA cable and send video via a USB connection.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN

    If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.

  • Sony VAIO (VGN-Z17GNB)

    Beautifully designed and reassuringly robust, the 1.5kg VAIO Z11 marries a decent-sized 13.1-inch screen with good portability. It's not flawless, but if you can afford it, you won't be disappointed.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad SL500

    Lenovo has continued the ThinkPad tradition of no-nonsense business laptops with the SL500, which provides good value and is powered by the Intel Centrino 2 architecture, and comes loaded with Windows Vista Business.

  • Sony Vaio VGNBZ15GN

    The VGNBZ15GN is Sony's latest business laptop in the Vaio range, and includes the new Centrino 2 platform. A heavy machine with strong performance, but let down by poor battery life.

  • ASUS Eee PC 1000

    The wait is finally over for the ASUS Eee PC 1000, a notebook that promises to make a dent in the netbook market. It's the most well-equipped and largest in the Eee series and has cast aside the usability shackles of its diminutive predecessors.

  • Sony VAIO LT VCG-LT28G

    While a solid machine and a capable media centre, we're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.

  • Annoying software: a rogues' gallery

    Here are ten of the guilty parties who try to do the impossible: to make us hate the internet and wish it had never been invented -- and who very nearly succeed.

  • HP 2133 Mini-Note

    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.

  • Fujitsu Lifebook V1010

    The thoroughly average Fujitsu LifeBook V1010 has a lovely display, solid battery life, and relatively trim weight, but it lacks the features of similarly priced systems. You can get more for your money elsewhere.

  • Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)

    Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.

  • Sony VAIO VGC-LM18G

    No doubt the VGC-LM18G will find its way onto some people's walls and benches, and is thoroughly enjoyable to use. But it's got a few more revisions to go before it's perfect.

  • David Braue Can not-so-smart meters help the NBN?
    It was interesting to witness Conroy's recent enthusiasm to spruik the NBN's role in supporting the Smart Grid, Smart City initiative. What a pity that Conroy hadn't yet seen the damning report from the Victorian auditor-general about that state's smart-meter roll-out.
