Sony Vaio VGX-XL202 review

Sony's Vaio VGX-XL202 looks like it means serious business. Tech-heads should love the Intel E6400 Core 2 Duo processor and multimedia freaks will love the inclusion of a Freeview TV tuner card, but the flagship component in this PC is a Matshita BD-MLT UJ-215S Blu-ray disc drive, which allows you to play glorious hi-def Blu-ray movies Read more

Shuttle XPC M1000 review

The M1000 is one of the most painstakingly well designed desktops we've seen, and provided you don't mind its slightly retro looks, its list of features suggests it's the most complete implementation of Windows XP Media Center Edition on the market Read more

Apple Mac Mini (1.66GHz Core Duo) review

The ultimate small form-factor PC gets even better thanks to the addition of a high-speed, dual-core Intel processor and the latest chipset. It's the perfect machine for anyone who requires a second home PC, and is also ideal for those who want to jump on the shiny white Mac bandwagon without spending a fortune Read more

Apple iMac (4th gen) review

With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than any previous Mac to date 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

Apple iMac (27-inch, unibody, 2009) review

With a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, the 27-inch iMac that we reviewed doesn't offer a huge improvement in performance compared to previous models. But it's still a worthwhile upgrade, offering improved specs and features, including an LED-backlit display and 'unibody' construction, at a similar price point 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

Elonex Artisan review

The Artisan looks like a clunky old VCR and as such, looks perfectly at home under a TV -- unlike many Media Center PCs. And with a huge range of connectivity options and relatively easy setup, it could well infiltrate more than a few living rooms Read more

Evesham Mini PC Plus review

The Mini PC is Evesham's second interpretation of the Apple Mac Mini. It's the same approximate shape and size but is now finished in black, and this time it comes with a host of newer and more powerful components that make it a more formidable multimedia PC Read more
