HP dx5150 Small Form Factor review

For those on a tight budget, the HP dx5150 stands out from the abundance of cheap, ugly desktops that litter the market thanks to its promise of contemporary styling, solid build quality and quiet, efficient operation. In addition, it's a decent performer, making it very hard to ignore Read more

Acer Aspire E300 review

The 64-bit Gamer version of the Aspire E300 uses a single-core Athlon 64 3500+ CPU, Windows XP Home Edition and a 200GB hard drive. Particularly good value for money, it produces respectable gaming performance for only £600, a bargain in our book -- and it doesn't make you look like a car-modding chav 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

Packard Bell Smart TV 320 review

A hybrid of television and PC designed for those who want all the advantages of Windows Media Center or Intel Viiv without the hassle of having a separate PC and TV, the Smart TV 320 isn't the sexiest telly we've seen and has some annoying design flaws, but it performs well Read more

Evesham ebox review

More so than any other Media Center we've tested, the Evesham ebox looks the part. Its minimalist silver fascia and slot-loading DVD drive give it living-room credentials -- but the frustrations we've experienced with other Media Centers were matched here Read more

Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e review

The Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e is so green, it can be powered by the sun. With an Energy Star 4.0 compliance rating, it sports plenty of low-power components and functional innards. Its slim design allows it to be positioned in landscape or portrait orientation, making being green pretty easy Read more

Dell Dimension 5100 review

While Dell has taken its case design in a new, more consumer-friendly, white direction, its budget PC's innards are as dependable and adequate as ever. As long as you don't expect Battlefield 2 to run smoothly on it, this is a prime piece of good-value computing Read more

Expert Technologies Fusion Multi Media PC review

A Media Center PC with extensive PVR functions, the Fusion blends in with your under-TV tech, and its hybrid digital/analogue tuner lets you watch and record a host of terrestrial Freeview channels -- all for under £800. But it's badly let down by very noisy fans Read more

Shuttle X Vision X50 review

Sporting a touchscreen, dual-core Intel Atom 330 CPU, attractive design and good connectivity, the 15.6-inch X Vision X50 all-in-one desktop PC looks, on paper, to have plenty going for it. But is it enough to knock the market-leading Asus Eee Top off its perch? Read more
