Check prices$749.99Gateway DX4200-UB001A
Reviewed on August 8, 2008 We can forgive Gateway for cramming the DX4200 with more memory than it needs simply because its specs and overall performance are the best in its price class. Of the various do-it-all lower midrange PCs out there, this one gets our nod. -
Check prices$1,399.99-$1,499.99HP TouchSmart IQ506
Reviewed on June 25, 2008 HP's new-and-improved TouchSmart all-in-one PC refines the touch-based concept it introduced last year. Faster all-in-ones, and Apple's iPhone, make the TouchSmart seem a bit behind the times, but the convenient software and its kitchen-friendly design offer functionality that's unavailable elsewhere. -
Check prices$639.00Dell Inspiron 530
Reviewed on April 18, 2008 PC vendors have very few tricks remaining to differentiate their systems from the competition, which makes the built-in Bluetooth in the Dell Inspiron 530 unique. There's little else that makes this system stand out, but if you need Bluetooth in your budget desktop, we can recommend no other. -
Check prices$1,349.99Gateway P-6860FX
Reviewed on May 19, 2008 The Gateway P-6860FX offers GeForce 8800 gaming muscle and plenty of memory in a midprice laptop, making it a great choice for gamers who fall just short of hard-core. -
Check prices$599.99ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35
Reviewed on July 14, 2008 ZT's Affinity 7225Xi-35 is a cleanly built midrange PC that will get you through all of your everyday tasks with ease. It's not a particularly flashy desktop, and you may be able to find more aggressively configured PCs for the same price, but if you need an affordable workhorse, this system will do the job. -
Check prices$799.00Velocity Micro Vector Campus Edition
Reviewed on July 10, 2008 As much as we like the look and feel of Velocity Micro's Vector Campus Edition desktop, we can't recommend it. It suffers from poor bang-for-the-buck, a lack of configurable options, and a narrow upgrade path. -
Pricing not availableeMachines T5254
Reviewed on April 21, 2008 The eMachines T5254 costs less than similar systems from Dell and HP, and it outperforms them (in some cases), and uses less power while doing so. You can't configure it before making a purchase, but eMachines has chosen this system's specs wisely, and with a level of environmental consciousness that make it a very enticing deal. -
Check prices$649.99Gateway FX7026
Reviewed on June 25, 2008 The Gateway FX7026 offers a quad-core processor at a modest price tag with specifications that any high-end gamer will be satisfied with. You might want to replace the peripherals and the video card down the road, but this system is an excellent option for a nonconfigurable, off the shelf desktop. -
Pricing not availableToshiba Satellite A135-S4467
Reviewed on February 26, 2007 The Toshiba Satellite A135-S4467 is a middle-of-the-road system in every way, but it starts to look more impressive when you factor in the budget-friendly price, making it a solid choice for mainstream users. -
Check prices$533.00-$799.00Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e
Reviewed on October 8, 2007 Any business interested in cutting its power bills generated by its work-a-day desktop fleet might be interested in the ThinkCentre A61e, but home office workers or anyone interested in a smaller PC should stay far away from this system that has a major performance and features deficit compared to other small desktops. -
Acer TravelMate 2480-2968
Reviewed on April 11, 2007Check prices$505.00 -
Pricing not availableeMachines T5246
Reviewed on March 6, 2008 The eMachines T5246 is an imminently capable budget desktop, with pretty much every feature you'd want in a day-to-day PC. If you're inclined to bargain hunt you might find a better deal by a few dollars, but if you pick this one up you won't go wrong for the price. -
Pricing not availableFujitsu LifeBook S2210 (Turion 64 X2 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB HDD, Vista Business)
Reviewed on March 16, 2007 Fujitsu's business-oriented thin-and-light LifeBook S2210 offers plenty of features and strong performance, but its standard-aspect display isn't for everyone. Worse, its battery life fell below our expectations. -
Check prices$279.95eMachines T5234
Reviewed on November 1, 2007 The eMachines T5234 is a capable if basic budget PC, but it takes a step back in performance because it uses a slower processor than the older model it replaces. -
Check prices$1,899.00Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 (Core Solo 1.2GHz, 1GB RAM, 60GB HDD, Vista Business)
Reviewed on March 9, 2007 A sleek-looking ultraportable, the Fujitsu LifeBook P7230 will turn heads with its polished design, but its middling performance make it suited best for basic office tasks. -
Pricing not availableHP Pavilion Media Center A1640n (Core 2 Duo 1.86 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD)
Reviewed on October 26, 2006 We have a few nitpicks about this midrange desktop from HP, but its strong core configuration overrides most of them. All this PC really needs is an inexpensive 3D graphics card, and it'll be ready for Windows Vista bliss. -
Pricing not availableeMachines T5062
Reviewed on July 13, 2007 There's no reason to buy the eMachines T5062 when you can nab a dual-core PC from eMachines for just a few dollars more. -
Pricing not availableAcer Aspire 9300-5005 (Turion 64 X2 Mobile 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 120GB HDD, Vista Home Premium)
Reviewed on March 28, 2007 Acer's desktop replacement, the Aspire 9300-5005, breaks the $1,000 mark and includes some unexpected extras, but don't expect the performance to match more expensive systems. -
Check prices$555.00Acer TravelMate 2480-2153 (Celeron M 1.73GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Vista Home Basic)
Reviewed on April 5, 2007 It looks more expensive than it is, and its performance is in line with other budget systems (read: acceptable for basic use), but weak battery life keeps the Acer TravelMate 2480-2153 from replacing a Gateway model as our favorite low-cost laptop. -
Acer TravelMate 2480-2779 (Celeron M 1.6GHz, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Vista Home Basic)
Reviewed on April 11, 2007Pricing not available
