Check prices$1,185.73-$1,776.60Apple MacBook - black (Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard)
Reviewed on December 17, 2007 Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations. -
Check prices$347.78-$405.00Asus Eee PC 4G (white)
Reviewed on October 29, 2007 For less than $400, the Asus Eee PC 4G offers an impressive package for portable Web surfing and basic productivity, as long as you keep expectations tempered. The incredibly approachable price outweighs any shortcomings; it's a near perfect choice for a highly portable second or backup laptop. -
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$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$1,049.99-$1,144.00Apple MacBook - white (Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard)
Reviewed on December 17, 2007 Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations. -
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. -
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$1,056.00-$1,237.83Apple MacBook - white (Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard)
Reviewed on December 17, 2007 Apple has been content to issue minor periodic hardware updates to the 13-inch MacBook, but the modest performance gains and new Leopard OS keep it in our top tier of laptop recommendations. -
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. -
Check prices$1,049.99-$1,219.91Averatec All-in-One
Reviewed on June 20, 2008 Like other Windows-based all-in-ones, Averatec's All-in-One can't compete with the iMac for sheer power. The Averatec's larger screen and few features it has that Apple doesn't might be enough to sell you, but the iMac remains the all-in-one to beat. -
Pricing not availableDell Dimension 5100 (Pentium 4 3.4GHz, 256MB RAM, 80GB HDD, XP Home)
Reviewed on August 29, 2005 Dell's mainstream Dimension 5100 looks good from the outside, but surprisingly limited configuration options dampen our enthusiasm. -
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. -
Check prices$749.00Apple iMac Core Duo (20-inch, 2.0GHz)
Reviewed on January 19, 2006 Apple's Intel-based iMac Core Duo boasts an enviable combination of a first-rate design, an impeccable software bundle, and the newfound ability to run Windows in addition to Mac OS X. You simply won't find a more feature-packed, versatile mainstream computer. -
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 -
Check prices$399.00Apple Mac Mini Core Duo (1.66GHz)
Reviewed on October 10, 2006 If you're looking for a pure budget desktop and aren't too worried about looks, even this new updated Mac Mini with its 1.66GHz dual-core CPU is a hard sell. But if you want a small, innocuous computer for sending or receiving media or other files between rooms, no other computer offers the deal that Apple has with this one. -
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 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.
