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

Apple Mac Pro review
Apple's new Mac Pro (£1,699 for the base model) is a winner on multiple levels. From the outside, it looks great -- far more put together than any Windows-based box. Inside, it boasts powerful specs, including two dual-core Intel Xeon processors, for a total of four processing cores. And to top it off, it's a great value Read more

Sony Vaio VGC-RC204 review
The Sony Vaio VGC-RC204 is the first PC to come equipped with a Blu-ray disc drive. The long-awaited optical format allows dozens of gigabytes of data to be stored on a single disc. This makes the RC204 an attractive prospect for video editors or anyone who needs large backups, but sadly it won't play Blu-ray movies in full high definition Read more

Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI review
She's ported and relieved, and she's stroked and bored -- she'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored. A 60s muscle car of a PC, the Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI will knock your bobby socks off. It's horribly expensive, but if you need a reliable, plug-and-play super-gaming platform, accept no substitute 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

Alienware Aurora Star Wars Edition review
Alienware's Special Edition Star Wars Aurora makes you want to yell, "Prepare to make the jump to lightspeed!" and slap the side of the chassis. Strictly for Lucas completists, this PC comes in Dark and Light Side flavours and offers blistering Nvidia GeForce-powered graphical performance for an eye-watering price Read more

Dell Dimension 5150c review
One of the first desktop PCs to use Intel's Viiv platform, the Dimension 5150c offers cool, quiet operation thanks to its tiny BTX chassis. It's not just a pretty face either: it uses a dual-core CPU, has plenty of memory and comes with an optional 24-inch widescreen TFT Read more
