A few disappointing extras make this an unappetising upsell from the standard ZoneAlarm suite

The Xerox Phaser 3125N isn’t much to look at, with a design not unlike business lasers from the early nineties. Unlike its ancestors, however, it’s only a fraction of the size and significantly more powerful.

Solid client security applications, though lack of centralised management puts Kaspersky Small Office Security in a different league.

Lighter than ever, but its all-round performance isn’t quite first class.

A capable package, but McAfee Total Protection 2009 is conspicuous and expensive.

Not a great performer in testing, but a firmware update that delivers the performance we saw with the TL-WR841ND would make it great value.

An older router missing a couple of key features, but worth considering for a small office equipped with older and slower Wi-Fi and Ethernet equipment.

Rugged and durable, but overall it’s a bit pricey

Thin, but short on features and not particularly cheap either.

A well-featured package with some unusual tricks that falls just short of a first-rate performance.

Plenty of features, but printing and scanning results proved average at best

Decent wireless printing, but the poor scanning, copying and speed let the Dell down

Interesting design and plenty of features, but it takes an age to produce mediocre results

The fastest test results, but the most expensive data packages make BigPond a fall-back only for those with no coverage from other providers

Striking looks but limited features, average performance and a high price put paid to the Netgear’s chances

A simple board that struggles to justify its price

An uninspiring board with no strong selling point

Plenty of connectors, but not much pizzazz
