Evesham Solar Storm review

The Vista-equipped Solar Storm is available for £999, which might seem like a big wodge for a PC nowadays, but you get what you pay for -- a gorgeous 20-inch widescreen monitor, capacious storage and strong multimedia capabilities Read more

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

Moore Medio review

The Medio definitely looks the part -- a Robocop of the PVR world. The chassis won't be to everyone's taste, but it looks right at home stacked on top of THX power amps. Quality components and incredible attention to detail make this a very desirable Media Center Read more

Asus Eee Box review

Asus has performed a minor miracle in the laptop market with its Eee PC, so it stands to reason that it would try the same trick in the desktop arena. The Eee Box is tiny, attractive, requires little power to run, and most importantly it costs just £199 Read more

Shuttle x27D review

The X27D is the fastest nettop-style machine we've ever tested. Its dual-core Atom 330 CPU makes it a far more robust solution than PCs such as the Eee Box. It's a little too noisy for our liking, but it's affordable, attractive and perfect for lightweight computing tasks like surfing the Web or watching digital movies Read more

HP TouchSmart IQ810 review

Like its predecessors, the HP TouchSmart IQ810's major selling points are its touch-sensitive display, small footprint and strong multimedia capability. The IQ810 stands out, however, thanks to even faster components and a comparatively large 25.5-inch screen Read more

Medion Akoya P4011 D review

The 21.5-inch Akoya P4011 D is a decent all-in-one PC at an affordable price. Its performance won't induce nosebleeds, but its multi-touch capability is well implemented, its screen is excellent, it offers loads of storage space, and it lets you watch and record live TV Read more
