Advent MT22 review
If you don't have enough room in your flat or student pad for a TV, Freeview PVR, monitor and PC, this all in one computer from Advent is a handy and affordable solution. Its innards might not be powerful enough for epic gaming, but its nifty touch interface and usable Windows Media Centre software make it very versatile 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

Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI review
She's ported and relieved, and she's stroked and bored -- she'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored. A 60s muscle car of a PC, the Alienware Aurora 7500 SLI will knock your bobby socks off. It's horribly expensive, but if you need a reliable, plug-and-play super-gaming platform, accept no substitute 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

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 iMac (27-inch, unibody, 2009) review
With a 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, the 27-inch iMac that we reviewed doesn't offer a huge improvement in performance compared to previous models. But it's still a worthwhile upgrade, offering improved specs and features, including an LED-backlit display and 'unibody' construction, at a similar price point Read more

Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (24-inch, 2.16GHz) review
Apple's iMac Core 2 Duo features a dramatic 24-inch screen with improved brightness, updated GPUs and expanded online configuration options. As a digital entertainment device with computing capabilities, this reliable desktop is an attractive buy Read more

ViewSonic VPC100 review
If you're looking for a cheap second PC, ViewSonic's VPC100 nettop is worth considering. It lacks a touchscreen and its performance isn't anything to get wildly excited about, but its wireless capabilities are good and it sports a relatively large 18.5-inch display 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

HP TouchSmart IQ770 review
The TouchSmart IQ770's touchscreen is ideal for scribbling text notes for your family, and its upright, all-in-one design lets you position it in rooms where a desktop PC and monitor aren't appropriate. But is a kitchen Media Center PC a ridiculous concept? Read more
