Reviewed on November 17, 2009Despite its good looks and a few useful new features, Apple's new iMac is all about business. You can find a larger screen for less, not to mention all kinds of digital entertainment features, but no other all-in-one at this price can boast similar performance. If you need a modestly priced all-in-one for getting work done, we'd recommend no other system.TAGS:Apple iMac, Apple Computer, Intel Core 2 Duo, IEEE 802.11n, Acer Inc., Nvidia GeForce, Windows 7, Gateway Inc., NVidia, Intel, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on April 30, 2007The D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router is the fastest we've seen, but we're still reluctant to recommend it as it's based on an unfinished wireless spec.TAGS:throughput, D-Link Systems, IEEE 802.11n, router, Linksys, spec, Belkin Corp.
Reviewed on May 3, 2006Though its maximum throughput is solid and its speed at long range is respectable, the Netgear WNR834B's mixed-mode speed is not. Save your cash until more Draft N routers make it through CNET Labs.TAGS:Netgear, throughput, antenna, IEEE 802.11n, router, WAN, LAN
Reviewed on December 12, 2008No other all-in-one PC can offer touch-based input or an LCD screen as large as that of the HP TouchSmart IQ816. It's hard to deny that those features make this a compelling desktop for families with a place to put it. Weak performance hinders its suitability for work, and it's not the best digital entertainment center, but we recommend this system to anyone looking to get in early on the touch-computing experiment.TAGS:HP TouchSmart, Intel Core 2 Duo, IEEE 802.11n, Blu-ray, digital audio, HP, 64-bit, PC, Intel, Microsoft Windows
