Apple Mac Mini (2009)

Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.

Reviews

  • Toshiba Qosmio G40

    Like its predecessor, the Qosmio G30, Toshiba's flagship multimedia desktop replacement offers a complete suite of entertainment features. The G40 is slightly slimmer and has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.

  • Dell Dimension E521

    The E521 is a highly versatile system that can be configured to suit the needs of budget, mid-range and high-end multimedia users.

  • Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (17-inch, 1.83GHz)

    The 17-inch iMac is missing a few features you might like — SuperDrive and a remote control, to name two — but it still makes a stellar home PC, thanks to its great design, new Core 2 Duo processor, and superior software bundle. Plus, its price makes it a borderline budget PC.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T60

    The premium you pay is worth it: the ThinkPad T60 delivers a sturdy design, a complete range of network connectivity, top-shelf performance, long battery life, and just enough ports for the typical business user.

  • Lenovo 3000 J105

    The Lenovo 3000 J105 is best suited for basic office and home productivity tasks; but with limited upgrade options and a one-year warranty, better deals are out there.

  • Dell Latitude D820

    The new Latitude D820 covers just about every base that a great business laptop can, clearing the way for us to call it one of the best midsize corporate portables around.

  • HP Compaq Presario B2823TX

    The glossy white casing is certainly unique. Though equipped with a dedicated graphics card on the previous Centrino chipset, the performance of this unit is unfortunately only average.

  • Toshiba Satellite M50 (14-inch, 1.4GHz)

    Despite its extremely affordable price and logical design, the M50 fails to stand out in terms of performance, features or battery life.
