Apple iMac Core Duo (20-inch, 2.0GHz) review

The move to Intel's Core Duo technology allows Apple to keep up with the performance of its Windows-based competition. The iMac Core Duo is experiencing some growing pains though, so while its performance in native apps is an impressive improvement over the G5, it struggles with many non-native apps that haven't been adapted 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

Sony Vaio VGC-JS2E review

In terms of design, the gorgeous 20.1-inch Vaio VGC-JS2E all-in-one desktop PC gives Apple's iMac a serious run for its money. It's a real shame that it lacks a Blu-ray drive and TV tuner, but, if you can overlook that, you'll get good performance and a beautiful screen Read more

Shuttle's XPC mini X 100 is a lovely looking unit and a solid everyday machine -- it's the smallest, sleekest range the company has produced to date. Arguably the best aspect of its performance is its quiet operation. It's barely audible when idling and doesn't get much louder when running demanding applications Read more

Packard Bell oneTwo L I7526 review

The Packard Bell oneTwo L I7526 is a decent option for those who fancy a touchscreen PC with an integrated TV tuner, but don't want to spend a fortune. It offers good performance, inoffensive looks, passable sound quality and a big, 23-inch screen. Read more
