Latest Desktop Reviews
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
