The good Impressive print quality Fast output for colour documents High monthly duty cycle Comprehensive driver features and warranty Easy networking set-up The bad Slow black printing No auto-duplexing Can't print directly from USB thumb drive or digital camera Lacks wireless connectivity The Hewlett-Packard Color LaserJet CP2025n is a pricey colour laser printer built with the small business owner or work group in mind. At AU$1049, the CP2025n can connect to multiple computers of a wired network, and the printer produces high-quality prints, but it's not without minor faults: the output speed for text and presentation documents is slower than the competition and it's missing an auto-duplexer for double-sided printing. At the same time, HP redeems itself with a toolbox full of helpful settings, instructions and features that brighten the user experience, not to mention the CP2025n's optimal quality prints

Design Asus' N51V looks an awful lot like HP's laptops did last year — but this isn't a bad thing. The lid is shiny black, with an inlaid pattern that looks like falling rain, with the silver Asus logo in the middle

The good LED backlit Stellar all-around performance at a low price Intuitive OSD Unique energy consumption options The bad Plainly designed Lacks ergonomic features Doesn't have an HDMI connection Dell sells the 24-inch G2410 for AU$539 online — a satisfying price — and in fact, it is your best option for a 24-inch TN display with stellar performance and low power consumption. The G2410 won't win any beauty contests with its plain design, and it lacks both ergonomic features and an HDMI connection, but it makes up for these shortcomings with great performance in movies and by offering energy options that let you track and control your energy footprint (Dell sells the similar 24-inch Dell S2409W for AU$40 less, and although the cheaper monitor looks sleeker and includes HDMI, it can't match the G2410's performance and low power consumption). Design and features The 24-inch Dell G2410 is plainly designed with angular features and a black matte finish.

The good Low price Good performance in games and movies at optimal viewing angle Built-in speakers and headphone jack Solid foot stand prevents wobbling The bad Black level not as deep as we prefer Bad lower viewing angle Lack of ergonomic support Includes only a VGA cable If you're looking for a low-priced 24-inch monitor, the BenQ E2400HD comes close to, but can't beat out, the Dell S2409W. For as little as AU$399, the BenQ E2400HD gives you VGA, DVI and HDMI connections, great games and movies performance, and a redesigned foot stand that virtually prevents any wobbling

The good Perfectly suited for a role in graphics and processor intensive applications Very sturdy chassis Component and build quality is impeccable The bad Two of the memory slots are obstructed by the hefty, but necessary, CPU heatsink and fan assemblies Similarly two of the PCI slots are blocked by the bulky video card The tower-based Xenon Nitro Z5 Visual Workstation is the first system to cross our test benches featuring Intel's new Xeon 5500 series processors. It packs a hell of a punch.
