The good Strong physical design Excellent hardware/connectivity First-rate battery life The bad Series 60 OS feels seriously out-dated Business productivity tools need attention In all honesty, the "mini" version of phones is a new phenomenon that is kind of lost on us. In most instances bigger is better, a look at Sony Ericsson's Xperia X10 range will attest to that, but in the case of the Nokia N97 , the mini version is the victor.

    The good No client access licences required Simple one-size-fits-all licensing Extremely easy to manage The bad Poor web-based mail user interface Push notification of email to iPhone and iChat voice calls from Windows devices didn't work in our tests Launched in August and compatible with all the Intel-based Macs, Apple's Snow Leopard Server is a full 64-bit server OS: for the first time in OS X's history, the kernel, the apps and the drivers are all 64-bit software. This makes for better performance on the same hardware, and Apple has produced an impressive set of benchmark to prove it. But for most people, server performance is not the key issue, and Snow Leopard Server considerably increases the list of things you can do

    The good Solid performance Good adjustability through sturdy stand The bad Build quality issues in the frame Inset panel causes reflections Backlight bleed around the edges Video playback leaves a bit to be desired Design and features Sporting a classy, faux brushed aluminium finish and a stand that offers more than the usual fare, HP's latest foray in the 22-inch widescreen market is attractive and feels well-built. The initial set up was a breeze; the unit had a heft and resistance that usually isn't found in monitors in this price bracket, giving it a feel of quality. The stand itself was a particular highlight — rather than offering the usual tilt function that 22-inch monitors are restricted to, it also offered pivoting through a rubberised turntable underneath the base, making turning the monitor easier

    The good Slim for a powerhouse 15-inch laptop 1080p screen Solid construction. The bad No internal optical drive Some Blu-ray playback issues Very expensive Editor's note: while our review sample shipped with 6GB RAM, final retail models ship with either 4GB or 8GB in Australia. A big brother to HP's 13-inch Envy 13, this upscale 15-inch model crams more computing power into a mid-size laptop than anyone outside of Alienware's m15x

    The good Slick, modern design Big touch pad Bright display The bad Very expensive Heavier than it looks No backlit keyboard Limited ports and connections Even a cursory glance will tell you the HP Envy 13 is a very nicely made premium 13-inch laptop. It's a solid slab of aluminium and magnesium, etched with interesting visual details, and filled with capable components, such as a dual-core low-voltage Intel CPU and discrete ATI graphics. It's also clearly a shot across the bow of the 13-inch MacBook Pro, even if Hewlett-Packard leaves that challenge unstated.

    The good Good print quality Smart solutions Additional paper tray Touchscreen works well The bad Slow print speeds for everything Lower tray is A4/Letter only Design Well, at a visual level, the Platinum Pro905 is a big, bulky and mostly grey unit, giving it a heavy business appearance. There's no doubt that's the market that Lexmark's shooting for with this particular multifunction, especially given the inclusion of faxing capability — fast becoming a rarity in the multifunction space — and an additional document tray that quite literally sits underneath the printer body if you choose to install it. One slight catch here is that you can't mix and match paper types willy-nilly, as the lower paper tray will only detect A4/Letter sized paper

    The good Fast draft printing Responsive touchscreen controls The bad Average to poor print quality Printer body shakes a lot May encounter firewall issues Design There's only so much that any vendor can do with a printer in design terms. They're all going to have to be boxy, more or less.

    The good Excellent design and mobile performance for less than AU$1500 The bad DisplayPort can limit your options without adapters Lacks eSATA port Design The HP Probook 5310m is an exceptionally sleek and thin ultraportable laptop. It's got both a fantastic battery life and real processing muscle, which is a pleasantly mystifying surprise to find in a laptop of such diminutive size. It's a matte black, lightweight tank of a thing that feels very solidly constructed
