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

Shuttle X Vision X50 review

Sporting a touchscreen, dual-core Intel Atom 330 CPU, attractive design and good connectivity, the 15.6-inch X Vision X50 all-in-one desktop PC looks, on paper, to have plenty going for it. But is it enough to knock the market-leading Asus Eee Top off its perch? Read more

Dell XPS One preview hands-on

The latest in Dell's XPS series is the XPS One, a self-contained, all-in-one desktop PC. Looking just like a monitor without a base unit, it saves space and is almost free of cables. With an integrated hybrid TV tuner and some great design touches, will this PC compete with Apple's iMac? 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

Shuttle x27D review

The X27D is the fastest nettop-style machine we've ever tested. Its dual-core Atom 330 CPU makes it a far more robust solution than PCs such as the Eee Box. It's a little too noisy for our liking, but it's affordable, attractive and perfect for lightweight computing tasks like surfing the Web or watching digital movies Read more

Medion Akoya P4011 D review

The 21.5-inch Akoya P4011 D is a decent all-in-one PC at an affordable price. Its performance won't induce nosebleeds, but its multi-touch capability is well implemented, its screen is excellent, it offers loads of storage space, and it lets you watch and record live TV 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

Shuttle XPC G5 6801M review

If you were left out in the cold with your HD DVD collection, the Shuttle XPC G5 6801M Media Center PC warm things over. It doesn't ignore Blu-ray users either. With a large range of configuration options, it's a great option for a home cinema environment Read more
