ReviewsShuttle KPC K-4500
Reviewed on May 9, 2008 Shuttle's KPC K-4500 has appeal as a prebuilt Linux PC for a tech-savvy owner to play around with or as a more or less accessible, basic computer to bestow upon a loved one (for whom you're willing to provide tech support). If you're aware of the potential pitfalls we recommend it, not least because it's so affordable. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion Slimline s3200t
Reviewed on November 16, 2007 The HP Pavilion Slimline s3200t offers perhaps the strongest bang for the buck we've ever seen thanks to its HD DVD/Blu-ray hybrid optical drive and its strong overall configuration. It outclasses every other HD-equipped system we've seen so far. If you're shopping for a living room PC and want complete HD format flexibility, this is the system we'd buy. -
ReviewsSony VAIO TX670P/B (Pentium M 753 1.2 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD)
Reviewed on September 19, 2005 Though it's expensive, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX670P delivers a great combination of business and entertainment features, long battery life, and unparalleled connectivity in an incredibly ultraportable package. -
ReviewsToshiba Qosmio F45-AV412
Reviewed on September 27, 2007 Toshiba's Qosmio F45-AV412 offers a wealth of multimedia features, but the HD DVD drive and subwoofer seem like overkill for a 15-inch laptop. You're better off spending a bit more for a 17-inch model for this type of laptop. -
ReviewseMachines T3646
Reviewed on May 15, 2008 eMachines T3646 is one of the cheapest desktops available, and unfortunately it shows. It offers some compelling performance, but basic capability is more important in budget systems, and we found this system came up short compared with others in its price range. -
ReviewsGateway GM5632E
Reviewed on October 31, 2007 Thanks to a strong set of core specs, the Gateway GM5632E is the best deal going on in a mainstream traditional desktop. It might be missing a few fancy, nonessential features, but it has a strong enough foundation to make up for any deficiencies. -
ReviewsToshiba Qosmio G45-AV680 (Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, Vista Ultimate)
Reviewed on September 4, 2007 Toshiba's high-end Qosmio G45-AV680 is great for movies and multimedia, and its unique onboard controls are fun to use--but the recordable HD DVD drive seems like an expensive splurge few will need. -
ReviewsToshiba Qosmio G45-AV690
Reviewed on February 29, 2008 Toshiba's high-end Qosmio G45-AV690 is great for movies and multimedia, and its onboard controls are fun to use--but the recordable HD DVD drive means you're paying extra for a dead technology. -
ReviewseMachines 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. -
ReviewseMachines 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. -
ReviewsSony VAIO RC110G - Pentium D 830 3 GHz
Reviewed on November 17, 2005 The Sony VAIO RC110G is a mainstream Media Center PC that earns points for its attractive case, quiet operation, and generous A/V connectivity options, though a manual or two would greatly aid setup. -
ReviewsPioneer BDR-101A
Reviewed on July 24, 2006 The first Blu-ray burner to hit the market, the Pioneer BDR-101A gives you 25GB of storage on a single disc and its actual write speeds nearly match its rated 2X spec. Still, it's a first-generation drive that's too expensive for anyone but professionals and enthusiasts working with HD video. -
ReviewsSamsung WriteMaster SE-W164 USB 2.0 drive
Reviewed on September 21, 2005 The no-frills WriteMaster SE-W164C isn't the fastest DVD burner around, but its decent overall performance and reasonable price make it a solid choice for casual users. -
ReviewsZT Group Pro A7055
Reviewed on July 14, 2005 Dual optical drives (including a DVD burner) plus generous hard drive storage and several PCI slots make this a good choice for upgraders and digital pack rats, even if there isn't much left in the budget for audio and video features. -
NewsDVD drive marries red and blue lasers
December 18, 2003 Japanese computer maker NEC develops technology to record and read both current and next-generation DVDs with a single optical head. -
ReviewsPolywell MiniBox 939AX
Reviewed on April 15, 2005 The Polywell MiniBox 939AX's rough edges and lack of support docs take the luster off an otherwise functional and affordable Media Center PC. -
ReviewsSony VAIO T150P/L (Pentium M 733 1.1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD)
Reviewed on January 26, 2005 The Sony VAIO VGN-T150P/L delivers features, connectivity, performance, and long battery life in a truly ultraportable package. Still, there are less expensive alternatives. -
ReviewsMicro Express NP6260 Rugged UltraLite
Reviewed on November 9, 2006 Even though it looks like a toy laptop, the Micro Express NP6260 Rugged UltraLite hits some important high notes, packing a DVD burner into a 2.8-pound package for less than you'd expect. -
ReviewsZT Affinity 7221Xa
Reviewed on July 17, 2008 The ZT Affinity 7221Xa is an inexpensive, relatively powerful computer. You definitely won't be gaming with the integrated graphics chip, but if you just need an inexpensive, no frills desktop for light photo editing and to run simple applications, the 7221Xa won't disappoint. -
ReviewsAsus DRW-1608P (beige)
Reviewed on August 17, 2005 The Asus DRW-1608P is a steal: good overall performance at a low price.
