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.

Brother DCP-165C Multifunction Printer

We've tested plenty of printers at CNET, but very few have frustrated us as much as the Brother DCP-165C multifunction has. The counter-intuitive set-up, bland design, deplorable print quality and crawling output speeds earn this printer a double thumbs down.

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.
HP Mini 2140 (Intel Atom N270 processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

HP offers a premium version of its Mini 1000 while keeping the price down, making the Mini 2140 the netbook to beat.
Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

Sony's upscale Atom-powered Lifestyle PC has the components of a cheaper machine, but the design of a more expensive one. The end result will be a useful travel PC for some and a conversation piece for others.
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.
HP OfficeJet 6310 All-in-One

The HP OfficeJet 6310 offers lots of features to home users but falls short in the face of its competition. There are better all-in-ones for your home office.
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.
Dell XPS M2010

A striking feat of engineering that's sure to garner attention in a stylish home or on a multimedia-intensive sales call, the Dell XPS M2010 is simply too expensive and impractical to be anything more than a curio for the rest of us.
Asus Lamborghini VX1

Very attractive in most respects and a competent all-rounder
