The future of storage is expensive, for now. That aside, how do Blu Ray drives compare to DVD drives?

Some substantial new abilities, including support for the new wave of high definition optical discs.

HD DVD support is the big new feature, but the automated ad-removal tool and enhanced menu customisation make this a great app for the money.

It may be early days for the technology, but it's still interesting to look at Sony's Blu-Ray drive under the microscope.

The first Blu-ray drive to actually BE available in Australia. The massive price should fall quickly.

Cheaper, rather than cheap, but there’s still no compelling reason to buy yet.

Thou shall not cast the name 'Zeus' around with careless abandon, unlesseth one can backeth up claims of PC godliness.

Back in November we wondered just what you could buy for $1500 and Modtech and PC Express showed us two near identical systems (the latter being A-Listed). This month’s submission from PC Market offered few surprises.

Supporting a maximum 12-speed burning, though without BURN-Proof, the AOpen CRW-1232 still manages to put on an outstanding show...

Small screen, but it's packed with features, including DivX playback, slot loading DVD, HDMI, and a digital TV tuner.

We put out the call to Australia’s white box PC manufacturers for a good high-end $4000 PC and PC Express was the first to respond.

Widescreen notebooks are the way of the future, really they are. With entertainment now proficiently done on the go, why would we go back to limited 4:3 aspect ratio? It's far easier to work on two spreadsheets concurrently in widescreen without needing to alt tab like a madman. Toshiba, like many manufacturers, has seen this need and provided such a product.

The first of seven planned DVDs in the series, 'Planet Earth: Oceania' is a beautiful disc. It's a DVD comprised of highresolution images of the Earth's coastlines, beaches, oceans and islands taken from space by the Space Shuttle and MIR Space Station...

Bose-s 3-2-1 is a 2.1 speaker DVD, CD and MP3 CD player whose claim to fame is the ability to produce accurate surround sound from just three speakers. Each satellite contains two discreet drivers that redirect audio in specific directions to mimic 5.1.

A disappointingly modest number of improvements, although they’re well integrated into the complete suite.

The two-and-a-half thousand dollar price point is a popular one for PC systems.

Recognising that the Linux desktop market is only going to grow, and that there's money to made in the corporate arena, Sun's Java Desktop 2003 is squarely aimed at companies looking for a cheap, easy, and compatible alternative to Microsoft's (often expensive) dominance.
