Mesh X-treme FX60 review

The X-treme FX60 is Mesh's attempt to deliver the goods in both price and performance. It uses the fastest gaming CPU available and twin graphics cards, so we didn't expect it to be very cheap. As is often the case, however, Mesh has surprised us by selling the PC at a reasonable price point Read more

Alienware Aurora 7500 (FX-60) review

The Aurora 7500 is the perfect showcase for Alienware's ability to produce high-performance PCs. Its specification makes for impressive reading -- Alienware has equipped it with not one, but two of the latest graphics cards, 1 terabyte of physical storage and the fastest gaming processor available Read more

Desktop-replacement laptops

Desktop-replacement laptops are a great alternative to owning a full-sized PC. They have the advantage of being portable (or at least luggable) and many of the latest models offer performance in line with the fastest desktop PCs... Read more

Samsung M70 review

It's not often we see something truly innovative in the laptop market, but this Samsung is extraordinary -- you can completely detach the enormous 19-inch screen and plug it into a separate stand. But although it redefines the term 'desktop replacement', its components and performance are decidedly last-gen Read more

Apple Mac Mini (1.66GHz Core Duo) review

The ultimate small form-factor PC gets even better thanks to the addition of a high-speed, dual-core Intel processor and the latest chipset. It's the perfect machine for anyone who requires a second home PC, and is also ideal for those who want to jump on the shiny white Mac bandwagon without spending a fortune Read more

Dell Inspiron 9400 review

The 9400 sports a large, 17-inch widescreen display, uses the Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system, and has enough input/output ports to put many desktop PCs to shame. It's not much cop when it comes to games (there's no dedicated graphics card) but its battery life is fantastic -- nearly 4 hours Read more

Lenovo Thinkpad Z60t review

The Z60t is the first Thinkpad created since the brand was acquired by Lenovo. It manages to retain the best elements of previous Thinkpads, but brings some fresh ideas, including contemporary style cues and a widescreen display, successfully combining old with new Read more

Sony VAIO VGN-TX2XP/L review

The VAIO TX2 makes just as good an impression as its predecessor, the TX1, thanks to its svelte exterior, stylish chassis and excellent battery life. It is the smallest, lightest two-spindle laptop on the market, and it is arguably the most accomplished ultraportable ever released Read more

Shuttle XPC M1000 review

The M1000 is one of the most painstakingly well designed desktops we've seen, and provided you don't mind its slightly retro looks, its list of features suggests it's the most complete implementation of Windows XP Media Center Edition on the market Read more

AJP M555N-E review

The M555N-E impresses thanks to its striking silver finish, and it's light and compact enough for any frequent traveller. It also comes with a free 3G card for high-speed Internet connection away from a Wi-Fi hotspot, and it's good value for money. Don't expect it to run games, though -- its performance is disappointing Read more
