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

Acer Aspire Z5771 review

The Acer Aspire Z5771 offers a good performance for an affordable price although it's let down by a poor screen and no Blu-ray drive. 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

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

Dell Inspiron Zino HD 410 review

The tiny Dell Inspiron Zino HD 410 may not be hugely exciting, but it will do a decent job of handling your media, without taking up much space. 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

Advent MT22 review

If you don't have enough room in your flat or student pad for a TV, Freeview PVR, monitor and PC, this all in one computer from Advent is a handy and affordable solution. Its innards might not be powerful enough for epic gaming, but its nifty touch interface and usable Windows Media Centre software make it very versatile Read more

Dell Dimension 5100 review

While Dell has taken its case design in a new, more consumer-friendly, white direction, its budget PC's innards are as dependable and adequate as ever. As long as you don't expect Battlefield 2 to run smoothly on it, this is a prime piece of good-value computing Read more

Apple Mac mini (2.53GHz, Autumn 2009) review

The latest Mac mini looks the same as its predecessor but has a faster CPU, more RAM and a bigger hard drive, among other spec bumps. It's rather short on features compared to its Windows-based rivals, but Mac fans seeking a small machine for productivity tasks will probably be happy with it Read more
