Reviews

  • ASUS EeePC 1000H

    The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-C15GP/B

    The Sony VAIO's good points -- performance and excellent build quality -- are marred by an uncharacteristically poor screen.

  • 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.

  • Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (24-inch, 2.16GHz)

    Other vendors might offer more flexible configurations and better deals on components, and the specter of HD video looms darkly, but the 24-inch iMac's sprawling display and convincingly capable features should set most people's minds at ease.

  • BenQ Joybook S61

    There's a lot to love about BenQ's ultra-portable media centre notebook, even if battery life isn't ideal.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-AR18GP

    If you're happy to wait a few months for more Blu-ray content to land, the AR18GP is a powerful, multimedia-rich laptop whose only glaring omission is a TV tuner.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-TX27GP

    Our new favourite ultra-portable, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX27GP offers up a superb design, brilliant battery life and a great blend of multimedia features.

  • Acer TravelMate 3010

    Acer's cheap and cheerful thin-and-light feels more like a high-end offering thanks to its stellar performance and battery life.
