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.

Apple Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

The Mac Mini remains unique as the smallest mainstream desktop, but competition from Dell and HP has narrowed the gap in features while also offering room for expansion, and at a better price.

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.

  • Apple MacBook Pro (15.4-inch 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)

    If you've been holding off on making the leap to a MacBook because of the lack of Core 2 Duo processors, this new update adds the latest Intel CPUs and provides a great overall computing experience, albeit at a premium price.

  • Alienware Area-51 m5550

    The Core 2 Duo-based Alienware Area-51 m5550 can perform as well as larger, more expensive systems, but its short battery life means you won't be very mobile.

  • 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.

  • Dell Latitude D620

    With a complete range of connectivity options, Dell's thin-and-light Latitude D620 will keep you in business when you're away from the desk.

  • 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.

  • Dell Dimension 3100

    For users on a budget, the Dimension 3100 has most of its bases covered despite there being alternatives that provide superior value for money.
