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

The good 50Mbps UTM throughput Gigabit ports for main WAN/LAN connections 3G wireless connectivity Load balancing and failover Comprehensive gateway security services The bad Additional Ethernet ports are 10/100Mbps only King of the small business security market, SonicWall recently added six new models to its popular TZ range of UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliances, delivering a mix of enhanced functionality and improved performance. Designed to serve the one-man-band upwards, the new range is topped out by the TZ 210 which, as we discovered, neatly bridges the gap between SME and enterprise products — and at a price that the competition will find hard to match.

The good Good keyboard and trackpad for a netbook Excellent battery life The bad At the higher end of the netbook price range Uninspired design Design The Samsung N110 is a fairly anonymous-looking netbook, with a matte-black interior (accented by a very subtle maroon stripe around the outer edge) and a glossy, black lid. Unfortunately, the glossy surface of the lid was among the more smudge- and fingerprint-friendly we've encountered, and keeping it looking clean for even a single day was a struggle. While not as thin as something like the HP Mini 1000 , Samsung gets points for making a netbook with a six-cell battery that doesn't look like it has a kickstand.

Google Wave arrived back in May with a blast of publicity — including a keynote of its own at Google's I/O conference . The initial story from the Google team was impressive, with Wave touted as a revolution in collaboration from star developers the Rasmussen brothers (the team behind the first iteration of Google Maps).

The good Extremely simple set-up A lot of additional features Dual radios USB charging port The bad Dual radios are both 2.4GHz only Poor handsets Design It's pretty rare that we come across a router design that's anything worth talking about.

The good Environmentally friendly Standard-sized keyboard The bad Linux version is for start-up purposes only Speakers direct sound downwards Design and features Like anything that is in miniature, the Joybook Lite U121 Eco is cute (290x209x26.4mm) and light (1.3kg). It has a shiny blue lid, black body and grey trim along its sides that continue inside around the keyboard

The good Ready-configured appliance Bundled training Dynamic labelling of managed systems Application virtualisation Lumension patch management The bad Web-based GUI takes a little getting used to Noisy fans Linux support is limited to Red Hat Systems management tools are notorious for being both complicated and costly to deploy — criticism that Kace claims to address with its Kbox 1000 Series Systems Management Appliance solution. This is an affordable suite of management tools delivered on an appliance, ready configured to plug into your network and start working.

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

The good Sleek, attractive design Lower price Amazing battery The bad Thicker and heavier than the previous model Still near the upper end of the netbook price range We were very fond of the previous version of Asus' Eee PC, the 1008HA , which represented a radical design change from the boxy Eee PCs of the past. But its high-end (for a netbook) price, at AU$899, slipped just over the line for many, and its non-removable battery wasn't as long-lasting as we've seen in other Eee PCs.

The good Plenty of third-party themes and plug-ins Elegant interface Able to power heavy trafficked websites The bad MySQL is only database choice Dashboard security could be better If you are in the market for a blogging platform, content management system or a complete web platform, you can do far, far worse than choose WordPress. The WordPress platform is in use at highly respected and trafficked sites such as the New York Times blogs and TechCrunch . This shows that it has the performance, scalability and flexibility needed to do almost any task
