Apple iMac

Show summary: We haven't given it the full review treatment yet, but our first impression of the $1,699 iMac left us wowed by its expansive, vibrant display. We're eager to test the new iMac chops in the lab, but off-the-cuff, the screen alone might be enough to sway anyone shopping for a midrange all-in-one.

HP Pavilion Slimline s5120y

Show summary: As much as we've appreciated HP's efforts in bringing the slim tower to the mainstream, we cannot recommend this off-the-shelf Pavilion Slimline s5120y. Even considering its low price, its design, features, and performance all come up short next to its retail competition.

Gateway SX2800-01

Show summary: Gateway's SX2800-01 offers a strong combination of performance and features all wrapped up in a design that fully embraces the merits of a slim tower PC. We recommend this system to anyone looking for a fast, affordable desktop for the home office, the living room, or anywhere in between.
