Apple iMac (24-inch, 2009 edition)
Apple has made a number of changes to its 24-inch iMac, most notably on the inside, although the display has had a few tweaks too. The updates are welcome, and its multitasking capability remains unmatched. Provided you prefer your all-in-ones as straightforward desktop computers, the iMac will meet your expectations with speed and elegance
Asus Eee Box B206
The Asus Eee Box B206 falls between two stools -- it's not powerful enough to take on other media-centre PCs and can't play back high-definition video as well as many of the cheaper media streamers on the market. That said, for undemanding users who aren't into HD video, it's worth a look
Sony Vaio VGC-JS2E
The Sony Vaio VGC-JS2E is a seriously stylish all-in-one PC that also offers solid performance. It's just a shame it lacks a Blu-ray drive, TV tuner and 'Full HD' screen
Apple Mac mini (2009 edition)
While we're still impressed that the Apple Mac mini packs so much into a small package, some rival PCs offer more features for less money. If saving space and using Mac OS are important factors for you, the new Mac minis will appeal, but your money will go further with a budget Windows desktop
Apple iMac (4th gen)
With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than any previous Mac to date. Unless you're a gamer or an upgrade enthusiast, we can think of very few reasons not to make an iMac your next desktop
Dell XPS 710 H2C
The 710 H2C is a stunning-looking and blisteringly quick computer -- it makes the vast majority of PCs look like pocket calculators. Buy one if you have the cash. Hell, buy us one too
Asus Nova Lite Mini 2L
The Nova Lite isn't a particularly fast machine, but it's well designed and entirely suitable for purpose. If you're looking for a quiet, attractive Media Center, it might just fit the bill
HP TouchSmart IQ770
The TouchSmart is one cool PC. We doubt we'd use it in the kitchen, as suggested by HP, but its all-in-one form factor is nice to look at and the touch-sensitive display is a good, if occasionally unnecessary, addition.
Asus A33
The A33 is one of the most desirable Media Center PCs we've come across. It looks great, it's quiet, it has plenty of input-output options, and the integrated amplifier really helps it stand out from the crowd.
Alienware Area-51 7500
This is a great-looking gaming PC with outstanding performance and good customisation options. Our only reservations include the fact that it's a tad noisy, more than a bit pricey, and it'll probably give you a hernia when getting it out of the box
