Eee Top review
The Eee Top is a strange departure from traditional Eee-branded products. This low-power, low-cost, all-in-one desktop PC features a touch-sensitive display, setting it apart from its rivals. Though Asus ships the Eee Top with Windows XP, it's conveniently put it in Large Fonts mode, making the touchscreen easier to use Read more

Acer AspireRevo R3600 review
The AspireRevo R3600 is the best nettop we've seen so far, thanks to an Nvidia ION chipset that means it can play games, run 1080p movies and be taken seriously as a media centre. Also sporting a cool design, it's great value for anyone who needs a cheap second PC Read more

For those on a tight budget, the HP dx5150 stands out from the abundance of cheap, ugly desktops that litter the market thanks to its promise of contemporary styling, solid build quality and quiet, efficient operation. In addition, it's a decent performer, making it very hard to ignore Read more

Asus Eee Box review
Asus has performed a minor miracle in the laptop market with its Eee PC, so it stands to reason that it would try the same trick in the desktop arena. The Eee Box is tiny, attractive, requires little power to run, and most importantly it costs just £199 Read more

Acer Aspire E300 review
The 64-bit Gamer version of the Aspire E300 uses a single-core Athlon 64 3500+ CPU, Windows XP Home Edition and a 200GB hard drive. Particularly good value for money, it produces respectable gaming performance for only £600, a bargain in our book -- and it doesn't make you look like a car-modding chav Read more

Evesham Mini PC review
A Mac Mini clone designed to cater to the Windows crowd, the Mini PC is petite, quiet and uses Windows XP Media Center Edition, so it's perfect for your living room. You'll need to upgrade the basic hard drive and buy a tuner for full PVR functionality, and don't expect to play anything more complicated than Solitaire on it Read more

Dell Inspiron Zino HD review
Taking a definite design cue from the Mac mini, the Inspiron Zino HD is capable of functioning as a respectable living-room media centre, as long as you're prepared to spend some extra cash on a few upgrades. Its unobtrusive form, optional Blu-ray drive and wireless connectivity make this machine worth a perusal Read more

Apple Mac mini (2009 edition) review
The latest Mac mini is an impressively energy-efficient machine that continues to pack plenty of features into a compact, space-saving chassis. Updated internal components means it's also a good multitasking machine that would be well-suited to a light-duty work role Read more

The Gateway DS50 desktop PC will serve you well when it comes to office tasks. Our configuration is unlikely to set your pulse racing, but it's quick and has a decent specification for the price. Read more
