Reviews

  • ATI Radeon HD 3850

    ATI's Radeon HD 3850 delivers good performance at a great price — but is now outclassed by NVIDIA's 9600GT.

  • Asus G2S

    Asus offers up a respectable 17-inch gaming rig with the Asus G2S. Its good looks, however, are offset by uninspiring gaming performance.

  • Toshiba Satellite P100

    Toshiba's Satellite P100-PSPAGA offers excellent components, features, and performance, but you can find similar systems for less.

  • Dell OptiPlex SX280

    Thanks to its diminutive size and next-generation Intel chipset and CPU, the Dell OptiPlex SX280 is perfect for small-business buyers who need future-proof, small-form-factor desktops.

  • HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7100

    Thanks to new Intel hardware, the dc7100 is one of the most powerful business PCs we've seen to date.

  • Dell Dimension 4700

    Dell's new mainstream Dimension 4700 is an affordable, forward-looking PC that's well suited for the home or the small office.

  • Dell Dimension 8400 (Pentium 4 Processor 550 3.4GHz, 1GB RAM)

    The Dell Dimension 8400 offers exciting new hardware, but unless you're a staunch early adopter, you won't see a compelling reason to make an immediate upgrade.
