    The good Excellent camera Inexpensive Easy to use Expandable memory HSPA connectivity, FM radio, GPS The bad Shutter lag No microSD card included No standard headphone jack or adapter Slightly cheap-looking No Wi-Fi The Sony Ericsson C903 Cyber-shot camera phone takes the snapshots we've been dreaming of, and keeps the price down by forgoing fancy features like Wi-Fi. Its 16x digital zoom won't get you as close to the action as you might like — image quality declines as you zoom in — but, for spur-of-the-moment photo opportunities, it's spectacularly good. Classy camera The back of the C903 looks remarkably like a compact camera, albeit a tiny, phone-sized one.

    The good Excellent battery life Core 2 Duo processor for under $1000 The bad 100Mb Ethernet only 802.11g only, no Bluetooth, although you can upgrade both for extra cash No numpad Design and features Out of all the sub-AU$1000 laptops we've reviewed recently, the Dell Inspiron 15 is the only one to sacrifice the numpad, leaving only the standard keyboard for typing. It's also the only model opting to use a Core 2 Duo processor, with its competitors limited to the lower-end Pentiums, Celerons and Athlons. Our particular model came in at AU$999, but if you choose the Celeron route you can get it down to AU$699

    The good Toshiba bundles both 64- and 32-bit versions of Vista in the recovery partition Excellent features for the price The bad Hot air vent on left-hand side No gigabit Ethernet or Bluetooth Battery life is punished due to the Radeon GPU Design and features The Satellite L500D is one of the fancier looking laptops we've seen in the sub-AU$1000 category, with an understated fingerprint pattern on the lid which carries through to the inside. The touchpad sits flush with the wrist rest too — an uncommon design choice, although Toshiba gets around any potential issues of knowing where the edges are by having a silken texture for the wrist rest and a coarser, stippled texture for the touchpad itself

    The good New slim design Clever hidden ports and connections Thin LED screen The bad Near the upper end of the netbook price scale Hidden ports and VGA dongle can take a little effort to access Editors' note: Anyone interested in the 1008HA reviewed here is advised to check out the Asus Eee PC 1005HA (released after this review was written). It offers a very similar design, but with a removable battery that lasts significantly longer than the 1008HA model
