Reviews

  • Dell Studio One 19

    There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.

  • LG GM730

    The GM730's feature set makes it feel like it belongs in 2008. Unless you really like the design, there are much better WiMo phones out there to choose from.

  • Nokia Ovi Store

    It's got a long way to go before it catches Apple's App Store in regards to both quantity and quality of apps, but Nokia's Ovi Store definitely shows promise.

  • BenQ nScreen i91

    BenQ's nettop looks affordable on the surface, but you're still paying a premium for a low-powered desktop machine.

  • Asus Eee Box B206

    For undemanding users who aren't into HD video, Asus' Eee Box B206 is worth a look; however, it's not powerful enough to take on other media-centre PCs.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2009)

    A few other all-in-ones make this 20-inch iMac look expensive on a dollars-per-screen-inch basis, but none are as attractive or as capable juggling multiple programs. With a fast dual-core CPU and a strong array of features, Apple's updated all-in-one will slide seamlessly into a variety of roles at home or at work.

  • Altech SysArielAtom-DP04

    The DP04 is a classic example of why nettop buyers are better off buying netbooks.

  • Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks

    We're not wild about the design of Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks, but its image quality is so vastly superior to that of other notebook webcams that we're more than willing to make the occasional camera readjustment as needed.
