Editor's Note

Here at PC Authority we already know how to rate tech products for quality, performance, features and value. But you, the reader, can tell us what products are really like to live with. How reliable is your notebook? Are you happy with your digital camera? Has your ISP got the best (or worst) customer service in Australia? Either way, we want to know.

There is still time to vote in the 2009 PC Authority Best Tech Awards - you can vote on cameras, ISPs, mobile phones, laptops, PCs, printers and more. Our survey takes from a few minutes to half an hour to complete. Go here to begin the survey.

Also this week on the PC Authority site: all our Windows 7 launch coverage, what are the benefits of 64-bit?, our guide to the PC in 2010, more amazing apps for your iPhone, Apple's new iMac and MacBooks, Dell's new Vostro reviewed, HP's new ProBook, photo galleries of the Amazon Kindle and the SunSwift IVy solar car, our Business Laser Printer group test, plus more.

Reviews

Dell's Vostro 1220 business notebook is excellent value for under $1000 by Zara Baxter | October 23, 2009 The Vostro may look like a netbook to the inexperienced eye, but its more powerful processor gives it more flexibility and speed		HP's ProBook 4310s, an affordable business notebook with HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet by Zara Baxter | October 23, 2009 Not quite the consumer/business crossover it aims to be, but there's a lot to like in this clever mix of old-style business laptop and feature-packed modern machine
Kyocera FS-2020D, why it's our new A-list business printer by Staff writers | October 19, 2009 The FS-2020D puts in another excellent display for a business laser printer that swept all our printing awards and catagories. It dosn't get much better than this Kyocera printing marvel.		Samsung's ML-2855ND lacks the necessary business functions by Staff writers | October 19, 2009 Output quality is an undoubted strength, as are its looks, but most businesses will find the lack of capacity annoying.
Oki's B440dn laserjet printer scores well with cheap consumerables by Staff writers | October 19, 2009 Superb quality, packed with features and cheap to run. A worthy alternative to the Kyocera.		Lexmark E360dn is too expensive to be a realistic printing choice by Staff writers | October 19, 2009 Impressive print quality, a good turn of speed and decent features, but it simply costs too much to own.
