Very similar to the <a href="http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/index.php/taxid;2136212929;pid;1046;pt;1"target="new">LG RH7926W</a>, NEC's NDH-160 differs only aesthetically to the LG, utilising the same interface, design and features. A strong focus o...

Sharp HT-M700H

A solid low to mid-range home theatre setup, Sharp's HT-M700H is a great option for users looking for a small surround sound system. A stylish, modern design and a balanced range of sound quality impressed us, although there are a few key omissions w...

Wacom Graphire 4 CTE-640

The bigger brother of the <a href=http://www.goodgearguide.com.au/index.php/taxid; 2136212875;pid;1286;pt;1" "target="new">Wacom Graphire 4 CTE-440</a>, the CTE-640 is essentially a 6x8" (A5) version of the smaller, 4x5" tablet, but comes with a few ...

Sharp CD-SW200E

A fairly standard CD player, the CD-SW200E from Sharp fails to distinguish itself through sound quality, but does present itself as a versatile and useful Hi-Fi system. Support for MP3/WMA files, a huge subwoofer, and an easy-to-use interface all com...

CineTrek WDR041

This portable DVD player from NU is an excellent option for those looking for an affordable device for in-car DVD playback, provided that they don't mind substandard image and audio quality. We're not being facetious either; quality is what we look f...

"What is your dangerous idea? An idea ... that is dangerous not because it is assumed to be false, but because it might be true?"

Samsung VP-X110

A "Sports Camcorder" is what Samsung have dubbed the weather resistant, rubber encased iteration in their Miniket series. The VP-X110's design is essentially that of the other cameras in the series, but with an emphasis on outdoor usage.

Samsung VP-M110 Miniket

Samsung's VP-M110 Miniket camera is an interesting device. Fashionability dominates features. Portability takes precedence over performance. If there truly is a substitute for style, the Miniket doesnt bother looking for it.
