We rolled up our sleeves, put on our boots, and trawled the halls of IT's massive trade expo in Sydney looking for tasty tech delights.

The PC maker will launch its first desktop in Australia capable of playing both formats.

It's a PC, it's a PVR, and it's a Blu-Ray player - could the new TP2 be the answer to all your HD dreams?

Blu-Ray notebooks are the next battleground, and the good news is they're slowly getting cheaper. ASUS is staking a claim with this monstrously powerful behemoth.

You'd think playback of copied Blu-Ray and DVD files would be a no-no for commercial PVR boxes. Not these new TViX players, which play ripped Blu-Ray and DVD "backups", with VOB, ISO and H.264 compatibility.

Intel promises you'll be able to watch a full Blu-Ray movie on a single battery charge, once again highlighting the woeful battery problems facing laptop users.

Buying a mid-range Dell notebook now means a choice between Dell's Inspiron, Studio and XPS notebooks. We examine the value.

Is there a market for 20-inch TVs? Sony's KDL-20S4000 looks unique, and you can carry it around the house.

They glow, then disappear, leaving a smooth chrome-look on the new DV entertainment notebook range. Check out the pics here.

Should you, or do you, care about your laptop's looks? We're in two minds after seeing today's new notebook lineup.

If like us, you’re only just wrapping your head around 100Hz picture processing, today’s launch of Motionflow 200Hz in Sony’s Bravia Z4500 might require some explaining.

Our pics of this incredibly thin LCD have to be seen to be believed. Sony says this HD TV makes ordinary LCD TVs look like CRTs, and they're not far off.

We’ve just seen the demo, and frankly, we’re blown away. High resolution beach-scapes, ultra-realistic water ripples, wind blowing through the tall grass. Wait, is that...?
