| Review summary | The RM1N's dual-chassis setup is unusual to say the least. It's also pricey, as you'd expect for a PC that uses a quad-core CPU. Don't let that put you off, though. It's fast, has plenty of storage, and comes with all the appropriate software for high-definition video editing Read full review |
We find it difficult to fault the Elite Quad 6600 FX. It has a fast quad-core processor, ample memory and a graphics card that while not particularly fast, doesn't shy away from games. If you have a spare £700 and want a solid all-round PC, you really should consider it Read full review |
The Acer AspireRevo R3600 is the most versatile nettop we've tested to date. Aided by its Nvidia ION chipset, it's capable of playing games and running 1080p movies. Ultimately, it's very good value for anyone that requires a cheap second PC Read full review |
The Advent AIO-101 is an attractive, well-rounded all-in-one PC. It's not the smallest of its type, but it's simple to operate, relatively well-equipped and is suitable for a variety of uses Read full review |

Apple iMac (27-inch, unibody, 2009)
Although not much faster than its predecessor, the LED-backlit display and spec tweaks are welcome
ViewSonic VPC100
Not particularly exciting, but it's cheap and offers a relatively large display for a nettop
Dell Studio XPS 435
Despite some missing features, it's a decent all-rounder, and it looks good for a Dell desktop too
