Apple Mac mini review

Apple's Mac mini offers plenty of power in a very small and attractive chassis. If you're after a small desktop computer or a machine to use as a home-cinema PC, the mini could be a good choice. Read more

Apple iMac 2010 review

We found the port selection and placement a little irksome, but this 25-inch Apple iMac, complete with 3.06GHz Core i3 processor, is a beautifully crafted machine. It offers solid performance and a bright, vivid display. Read more

Asus A33 review

The Asus A33 fulfills all the Media Center PC requirements. It's designed for the living room, looks more like a DVD player than a computer and it's fairly quiet. It also comes with a 300W amplifier for extra flexibility, and its 4GB of memory will launch videos in a snap Read more

Alienware Area-51 X58 review

The Alienware Area-51 X58 has a name and a look that implies it's out of this world, and we would have to agree. With Intel's latest high-end processor and a pair of dual-chip ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 cards inside this desktop is a gamer's paradise. While the price may seem steep, compared to similarly specced models it's a bargain Read more

Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz) review

The 24-inch iMac's striking design and impressive performance compare favourably to its smaller 20-inch sibling. In addition to a larger screen size, the 24-inch model offers higher-end configuration options and, of course, a higher price tag. Check out how the 2.8GHz processor performed Read more

Mesh Elite Quad 6600 FX review

The Mesh Elite Quad 6600 FX is unbelievable value for money -- it has one of the fastest CPUs on the market, a ridiculous amount of memory and a fairly decent graphics card, all for under £700 Read more

Sony Vaio VPCJ21L0E review

A well-made, well-designed and compact all-in-one with good sound and an excellent optical multi-touch display. The Sony Vaio VPCJ21L0E isn't cheap though. Read more

Sony Vaio VGX-XL302 review

Sony's VGX-XL302 is a beast of a Media Center PC -- in more ways than one. It features dual tuners, so you can record one channel while watching another, and a pair of 250GB hard drives, but it'll gouge a huge hole in your wallet Read more
