Sony Vaio VGC-V2M review
The VAIO VGC-V2M's jet-black chassis wouldn't seem out of place on Darth Vader's desk. If arch-villain is the look you're going for this season, this is definitely the most evil-chic looking computer we've ever reviewed Read more

Apple iMac G5 (2.0GHz, 20-inch) review
Incredibly easy to set up, gobsmackingly gorgeous and now with more power, there are very few reasons not to love the new 20-inch iMac G5. But it still isn't a substitute for a Power Mac Read more

Advent Eco PC review
With petrol prices skyrocketing, there's no question: the cost of powering your electrical goods is getting higher and higher, too. Advent has released its Eco PC, a desktop computer that uses just 25W when idle. It comes in recycled packaging and has a few other features to help it run more efficiently, but it isn't cheap Read more

Dell Studio Hybrid review
While there are a plethora of nettops on the market that offer -- at a basic level -- the same sort of package performance as the Dell Studio Hybrid, they are not as customiseable. You can alter the Studio Hybrid both internally and externally according to your personal preferences. The icing on the cake? It is eco-friendly Read more

Apple iMac Core Duo (20-inch, 2.0GHz) review
The move to Intel's Core Duo technology allows Apple to keep up with the performance of its Windows-based competition. The iMac Core Duo is experiencing some growing pains though, so while its performance in native apps is an impressive improvement over the G5, it struggles with many non-native apps that haven't been adapted Read more

HP TouchSmart IQ500 review
We didn't think the original TouchSmart IQ770 was that ugly, but compared to HP's brand-new IQ500 series it's a total dog. The IQ500 has a bigger screen -- 22 inches instead of 19 -- has a better spec, and sports the same touch-sensitive panel that intrigued us about the original Read more

Elonex Lumina review
By integrating a monitor, the niggling screen configuration problems that plague most Media Center PCs have been done away with. There's no need to open control panels and hunt through screen resolutions -- everything works straight out of the box Read more
