HP Officejet K8600
Lacklustre colour quality, but good speed and value for money make the K8600 a contender if you like blowing things up to A3 size

Unwired
Disappointing speeds in our tests, underwhelming plans and expensive hardware make Unwired a niche choice
Nov 5, 2008 6:18 PM
Vodafone
A free modem and competitive pricing around the 5GB mark make Vodafone worth a look – but other networks are cheaper per GB

Lexmark X9575
Quality, speed and a huge array of features go some way to justifying the price
Oct 30, 2008 12:19 PM
Lexmark X4875
Plenty of features, but printing and scanning results proved average at best
Oct 30, 2008 12:18 PM
Dell 968
Good, but not good enough: it can’t compete with the winners this month
Oct 30, 2008 12:13 PM
Dell V305w
Decent wireless printing, but the poor scanning, copying and speed let the Dell down

Canon Pixma MP610
The scanner is the only minor weakness in an otherwise near perfect home all-in-one

Canon Pixma MP520
Fast, great quality prints at a decent price – the only real competition for the other Canon

Brother MFC-465CN
Interesting design and plenty of features, but it takes an age to produce mediocre results
Oct 30, 2008 12:11 PM
Brother DCP-150C
A dreadful scanner and an overall lack of features make the low price a moot point

Asus VW223B
A great way to extend your desktop once you’re out of DVI ports

Brother MFC-7840W
It’s not quite an office grade product, but the MFC-7840W is a great choice for a busy home office.

Hp Laser Jet P1005
A tiny, fast personal laser printer with a temping price and great quality.

Corsair Mini Voyager 4GB
It's like the Tardis: small on the outside, but extremely capacious on the inside, with 4GB storage and some classy touches that make the Corsair Mini Voyager a cut above regular USB flash drives.

LaCie Little Big Disk Quadra
The LaCie Little Big Disk Quadra is less than the size of a Harry Potter book, yet crams in two 500GB 2.5in hard disks.

BigPond
The fastest test results, but the most expensive data packages make BigPond a fall-back only for those with no coverage from other providers
Oct 10, 2008 12:07 PM
Optus
Despite worrying reports about network congestion, Optus performed well in our tests. Top-notch speed, balanced with keen pricing - if you value network performance above all else this is the mobile broadband to get
