ReviewsAcer Aspire X1700-U3700A
Reviewed on February 4, 2009 The Acer X1700-U3700A is slightly slower than the competition, but it gives you almost every component you need in either a basic desktop or a light-duty home theater PC. If you prefer functionality to performance, we recommend this model out of the three systems in the current lineup. -
ReviewsDell Inspiron 530s Desktop Computer (Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200, 500GB HDD, 3GB)
Reviewed on June 26, 2007 Dell's first desktops to carry the Inspiron name look good, inside and out. With a huge range of available components and two equally attractive cases, mainstream consumers ought to be able to find a config that meets their budget, tastes, and computing needs. -
ReviewsApple MacBook Air (80GB)
Reviewed on January 25, 2008 The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialized audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features. -
ReviewsLenovo ThinkPad X60s
Reviewed on March 22, 2006 The first ultraportable to accommodate Intel's Core Duo processor, the ThinkPad X60s combines blazing performance and incredible battery life with a full feature set and a compact case. We like it. -
ReviewsGateway LX 6810-01
Reviewed on February 13, 2009 The affordable Gateway LX6810-01 scores high points for offering high-end components right off the shelf. We recommend this system for multimedia editors and light gamers who can make use of its hard-working Nvidia 3D card and full 8GB of RAM. However, if you're looking more at straightforward performance, Dell offers a system with a faster CPU and a similar feature set for about the same price. -
ReviewsLenovo ThinkPad X61s
Reviewed on June 8, 2007 The ThinkPad X61s provides excellent dual-core performance in a lightweight, compact package that's still comfortable to use. -
ReviewsDell XPS 430-121B
Reviewed on February 10, 2009 Dell's XPS 430-121B, sold exclusively at Best Buy, outpaces the competition and carries an impressive set of media-centric features. Heavy gamers can find a more suitable system elsewhere, but digital media enthusiasts will appreciate this Dell in their home network. -
ReviewsDell Studio Hybrid Desktop Computer (Intel Pentium Dual Core T4200, 160GB HDD, 2GB)
Reviewed on July 28, 2008 If 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. -
ReviewsGateway DX4200-09
Reviewed on February 27, 2009 While the Gateway might appeal to users who value storage over speed, you can find more features in PCs that cost just a little less, and more performance for just a little more. That leaves this Gateway with little to recommend it. -
ReviewsSony Vaio JS250J
Reviewed on May 7, 2009 Instead of succumbing to the latest fads, Sony's Vaio's JS250J all-in-one PC stays the course pioneered by its models from last year, delivering capable performance and best-of-breed home entertainment features at a better price than its all-in-one competition. The Vaio JS250J will appeal to anyone in need of a multipurpose home PC. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion a6700y
Reviewed on February 20, 2009 By sticking a wireless network adapter in a desktop with relatively slow performance for its price range, it almost feels as if HP has phoned in the configuration of this Pavilion a6700y. We can think of few reasons to justify purchasing this PC. -
ReviewsSony VGNFW270J/W
Reviewed on November 6, 2008 With a sleek design, HD-friendly display, and a Blu-ray drive, the 16-inch Sony Vaio FW270 is a near-ideal portable entertainment center. -
ReviewsDell Inspiron 530 Desktop Computer (Intel Celeron 450, 500GB HDD, 2GB)
Reviewed on June 26, 2007 Dell's first desktops to carry the Inspiron name look good, inside and out. With a huge range of available components and two equally attractive cases, mainstream consumers ought to be able to find a config that meets their budget, tastes, and computing needs. -
ReviewseMachines ET1161-07
Reviewed on January 27, 2009 At first glance, the eMachines ET1161-07 seems like a decent setup, but a laundry list of subpar components running on 32-bit Windows Vista just can't keep up with other similarly priced systems that give you much faster performance and higher-quality components for just $100 more. -
ReviewsDell Inspiron I530-120B
Reviewed on February 23, 2009 Dell's Inspiron I530-120B is a fine workaday desktop, but we find it could use some more excitement. It has its strengths, and its features are reasonable for its price, but we wish Dell had done more to differentiate this desktop. -
ReviewsDell OptiPlex GX280 Desktop Computer for Business
Reviewed on April 25, 2005 Strong performance, excellent service, and quiet operation combine to make the Dell OptiPlex GX280 a good fit for busy offices. -
ReviewsAveratec 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. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion Elite m9500y
Reviewed on February 19, 2009 We can't complain about the HP Pavilion Elite m9500y in its current configuration--it offers a speedy processor, plenty of memory and storage, and even includes Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, the big picture shows other manufacturers like Dell and Gateway that offer better deals to fit your specific computing needs. -
ReviewsHP Pavilion Elite m9515y
Reviewed on March 4, 2009 The HP Pavilion Elite m9515y is not an elegant PC, but it has enough features where it counts to set it apart. If performance or seamless living room integration are your goals, look elsewhere, but anyone after digital media functionality will find this HP more capable than its competition. -
ReviewseMachines EL1200-05w
Reviewed on November 26, 2008 Although the eMachines EL1200-05w's price tag is tempting, an extra $100 will land you a competitive desktop that can handle a wider variety of applications and even leaves room for future expansion opportunities.
