HP Pavilion MS214a

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:08:01 +0000

The good Lots of bundled applications Easy installation The bad Design is plain Keyboard is ordinary Design There's been a resurgence of late in all-in-one PCs hovering around the AU$1000 price point. Whether you're a fan of the iMac concept, prefer the minimalism of a nettop or simply want something that'll look OK in your living room, most manufacturers have stepped up with interesting designs.

Samsung R580

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:49:01 +0000

The good Elegant design Powerful performance One USB port for device charging The bad Low battery life Low screen resolution Attracts fingerprint smudges Huge and impractical for portable use Design At its size — 379.8x255.5x36.7mm — Samsung's R580 is never going to be anything but a desktop replacement. Most desktop replacements figure that if they're going to be bulky, they can get away with being heavy and plain, but the R580 is neither.

Garmin-Asus nuvifone A50

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:58:02 +0000

Let's just say we aren't huge fans of the Garmin-Asus nuvifones we've handled so far. The current devices not only look and feel half-baked, the interface is quite a letdown.

Modu phone

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:58:01 +0000

The good Interesting concept 2GB internal storage The bad Poor basic performance Jackets are garbage Expensive for what you get It could be argued that the mobile phone space is growing stale. There's been very little commercial innovations for handsets outside of the standard variations on the common phone design in quite a while.

McAfee Internet Security 2010

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:39:01 +0000

Security suite vendor McAfee has introduced an overhauled interface and new features 2010 product line. The change to its interface is dramatic, and the new look is drastically different from any major security program currently on the market. Most of the features in McAfee AntiVirus Plus (AU$59.95*), McAfee Internet Security (AU$99.95) and McAfee Total Protection (AU$129.95) are not new, but the presentation is so radical that the improvements are likely to be glossed over

Asus Eee PC Seashell 1201N

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:10:02 +0000

The good Dual-core Atom processor Solid gaming graphics for a netbook Large screen Affordable for its features The bad Awkward touch pad Mediocre battery life Two trends have hit the netbook world recently: new Atom processors, and the spread of the Nvidia Ion GPU to finally give tiny Atom-powered notebooks some graphics muscle. Though the Asus Eee PC 1201N doesn't use a new "Pine Trail" Atom N450 processor, it instead has a rarely used dual-core Atom at its heart

Motorola MC9500

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 23:20:01 +0000

If you thought chunky phones were dead, you'd be way off the mark as far as the industry is concerned. Although if you were to believe Motorola, this isn't a phone — it's an "industrial rugged mobile computer for field mobility". That's overselling slightly, to say the least, but then it seems Motorola has come up with a whole slather of hyperbolic branding (check out the video under the "Reinventing Backroom Management" section) for what is essentially a ruggedised phone with a barcode scanner; GPS; 3.7-inch, 640x480 touchscreen; and stylus
