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

HP TouchSmart IQ770 review
The TouchSmart IQ770's touchscreen is ideal for scribbling text notes for your family, and its upright, all-in-one design lets you position it in rooms where a desktop PC and monitor aren't appropriate. But is a kitchen Media Center PC a ridiculous concept? 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

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

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

HP TouchSmart IQ500 review
We didn't think the original TouchSmart IQ770 was that ugly, but compared to HP's brand-new IQ500 series it's a total dog. The IQ500 has a bigger screen -- 22 inches instead of 19 -- has a better spec, and sports the same touch-sensitive panel that intrigued us about the original Read more

Apple iMac (24-inch, 2009 edition) review
Little has changed cosmetically with the updated 24-inch iMac all-in-one, but the internal hardware has had a fairly extensive overhaul, ensuring that it's an outstanding multitasker and capable gaming system. Those who want a straightforward desktop computer from their all-in-one should check it out Read more

Apple iMac 27-inch review
Apple's refreshed iMac isn't very ambitious, but it's still the most attractive, elegant and eminently usable all-in-one computer out there. It's extremely expensive compared to its Windows rivals, but the iMac is great fun to use. Read more
