Reviewed on April 27, 2009We suspect lower-end configurations of the Dell Studio One 19 all-in-one desktop will draw consumers looking for a low-cost, "fast enough" PC. But even its multitouch interface can't save our expensive review unit from other vendors' similarly priced all-in-ones with better features for the dollar.TAGS:HP TouchSmart, Dell Studio, Dell, tablet, Sony Vaio, ASUS, keyboard, Sony Corp., HP, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on November 19, 2008You can find flashier PCs than Dell's $1,299 Studio XPS, but few have as much power where it counts. We don't recommend its small, pared-down case for upgraders, but this PC will satisfy anyone who needs a loaded, powerful PC for gaming and consumer-level digital media editing.TAGS:Dell Studio, Gateway Inc., Dell, configuration, Intel Core Microarchitecture, 64-bit, CPU, PC, Intel, hard drive
Reviewed on July 28, 2008If you're considering all of the computers in the $700 to $1,000 price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate this system's clever design and its relatively powerful hardware.TAGS:Dell Studio, stand, optical drive, Dell, Intel Core 2 Duo, 64-bit, Gateway Inc., Intel, hard drive, PC
Reviewed on March 16, 2009Even though Dell's Studio XPS-122B has the latest Intel CPU, its sparse configuration feels like a throwback. This is not to say it's slow or lacking in features, but you'll find this system has relatively few aspirations aside from serving as a standard desktop. We recommend it to anyone in need of raw computing power for an affordable price.TAGS:Dell Studio, Velocity Micro, Dell, optical drive, Apple iMac, Gateway Inc., 64-bit, Apple Computer, Intel, CPU
Reviewed on March 26, 2009By tweaking its internal components to achieve maximum 3D performance, Velocity Micro has made its $999 Edge Z5 one of the most impressive lower-end gaming desktops we've ever seen. As long as you don't mind sacrificing a bit of productivity speed to get it, we recommend this system to any PC gamer on a budget.TAGS:Velocity Micro, Dell Studio, Intel Core 2 Duo, optical drive, Dell, 64-bit, Gateway Inc., power supply, CPU, video card, Intel, games, hard drive
Reviewed on August 1, 2008Despite a few useful features, the Asus Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the same performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, and a low-end laptop can do everything it can do and more. The appeal of Asus' Eee PC does not carry over to the Eee Box.TAGS:ASUS, Dell Studio, Apple Intel Mac Mini, optical drive, configuration, laptop computer, Intel, PC, Apple Macintosh, video, Dell
