Dell XPS 420 review
You know what to expect when you buy an XPS: good looks, high performance, and a substantially lighter wallet. Dell's latest effort, the XPS 420, delivers all these things and should appeal to anyone with a desire to edit video and images, and play games 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

Apple iMac 2010 review
We found the port selection and placement a little irksome, but this 25-inch Apple iMac, complete with 3.06GHz Core i3 processor, is a beautifully crafted machine. It offers solid performance and a bright, vivid display. 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

Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz) review
The 24-inch iMac's striking design and impressive performance compare favourably to its smaller 20-inch sibling. In addition to a larger screen size, the 24-inch model offers higher-end configuration options and, of course, a higher price tag. Check out how the 2.8GHz processor performed 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

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

Apple iMac (2008 Edition) review
The iMac, Apple's iconic all-in-one desktop, is back. It's only been about half a year since the last upgrade, but we're pleased to see the inclusion of Intel's latest Core 2 Duo 'Penryn' CPU. It helps to make the insides of this attractive machine move much more quickly Read more
