Samsung SGH-i780 review

Samsung SGH-i780 review

Review With two batteries and a separate charger, the SGH-i780 could be a wise choice for the mobile professional, although it's a bit bulky and the screen is a touch small for some applications.

Samsung Solid review

Samsung Solid review

Review This is no smartphone, which may limit its appeal, but the Samsung Solid could fit the bill if you need a phone that can cope with dust, dirt, water and occasional drops.

Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 review

Panasonic Toughbook CF-52 review

Review The Toughbook CF-52 is a solidly built 'semi-ruggedised' notebook, with a hardened outer casing, shock-mounted hard disk and covered ports. However, this 3.3kg system isn't the most portable of notebooks and its battery life falls a long way short of Panasonic's claims.

Actinic Business 9 review

Actinic Business 9 review

Review Our only criticism of Actinic Business is that it could be overwhelming for newcomers and overkill for sole traders. But if you have delusions of e-commerce grandeur, jump right in.

i-mate Ultimate 9502 review

Review The Ultimate 9502's video-out feature may attract those who need to project handheld content onto a larger screen. However, it's not overly pocket-friendly and battery life leaves a little to be desired.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS review

Review Hardy Heron is an incremental set of advances on earlier versions, but all the advances are in the right direction. Unfortunately, a known and unfixed bug means we can't currently recommend it for enterprise use.

Multi-Tech Faxfinder 820 review

Review Multi-Tech FaxFinder is a simple-to-install and flexible fax server. The system provides good configuration and logging options and integration to an existing PBX is seamless. If you're after a flexible and reliable solution to process your incoming faxes, then FaxFinder does the job well.

WordPerfect Office X4 review

Review Corel WordPerfect Office X4 best fits those who prefer traditional interfaces for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations. We found the features rich, but the execution sometimes clumsy.

ASUS Eee PC 900

ASUS Eee PC 900

The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300

Lenovo ThinkPad X300
