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 Mac mini review

Apple's Mac mini offers plenty of power in a very small and attractive chassis. If you're after a small desktop computer or a machine to use as a home-cinema PC, the mini could be a good choice. Read more

Apple Mac Pro (eight-core, 2009 edition) review

The updated eight-core Mac Pro looks similar to previous models on the outside, but makes a number of internal changes that improve its digital-media and multitasking performance. Design professionals will welcome this new tool in their arsenal, although gamers might be slightly disappointed 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

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

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

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

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
