Reviews

  • AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition

    While the higher power consumption is a slight concern, the X4 955 proves that AMD is back in the performance game and ready to play hard ball. Bring on the next generation.

  • MSI X-Slim X340

    Ultimately MSI's X-Slim X340 is a disappointment. It is reasonably attractive, but it's not worth the price due to the horrible keyboard and budget touchpad.

  • Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition

    While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.

  • Dell XPS 630

    With its newest full-fledged gaming PC, Dell shows that it understands the mainstream gaming desktop as well as the high-end.

  • Acer Ferrari 1100

    Acer's Ferrari is nice to use, but the exclusivity and inflated price feels manufactured, not earned.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

    With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date.

  • 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.

  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-60

    It's as fast as we imagined, but we wish AMD's new dual-core chip played better with other computer parts out of the gate.
