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.

Acer Aspire One AOD150

The new 10-inch Aspire One AOD150 will further cement Acer's lead in the netbook market, largely on account of its price.

Reviews

  • Acer Aspire 8930G (Core 2 Duo T9400 processor 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)

    With a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8930G is a capable HD content playback machine.

  • Asus Eee PC S101

    Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.

  • Lenovo IdeaPad S10

    Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.

  • HP Mini 1000

    HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.

  • Acer Aspire 5920

    Though it's bulky, the Acer Aspire 5920 makes a great choice for buyers who want both a media-friendly laptop and a portable HD DVD player that plugs into their home theatre.

  • Acer Aspire e650

    The Acer Aspire e650 is a powerful, feature-rich media centre, but we're still not convinced that Viiv is mature enough for mass adoption.

  • Dell Inspiron 9400

    The Dell Inspiron 9400 packs a solid set of multimedia features, and when configured with Intel's Core Duo processor, it has enough power to speed through virtually any task, from editing video to playing games.

  • Acer TravelMate 8200

    From a performance perspective, the fast Acer TravelMate 8200 does Intel's new Core Duo processor proud -- but its mediocre battery is hardly the five hours Intel promised.

  • Acer ekes out a bargain

    In order to make way for its Centrino Duo line of laptops, Acer is having a fire sale of one of its older Pentium M-based Centrino models. Those that don't mind being one step behind the cutting-edge are sure to find it a bargain.
