Reviews

Asus M60J

Core i7 is here in mobile form. Some vendors will be attempting to rush these laptops out as close to the Windows 7 launch as possible. Keep an eye out — looks like the season to upgrade is well and truly upon us.
Alienware M17x

Alienware's new version of the M17x makes some welcome design tweaks and offers the best laptop gaming hardware you can get. Just be warned: it ain't cheap.
Apple Mac Pro (2009)

Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high-intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios.
Apple iMac 24-inch (2009)

Apple made a number of changes to the 24-inch iMac, but making it available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched.
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.
Asus G71

The G71 is an excellent system. It's expensive, and there's a few missteps Asus has made with hardware configuration, bling and the inclusion of a 32-bit version of Windows, but by and large with this system you get what you pay for — assuming your pockets are deep enough.
Acer Aspire Predator

Acer's Aspire Predator ticks most of the boxes for an enthusiast's machine, but the interior is a let down.
ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2

The ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 shows promise, but we would still wait until AMD works out the kinks before handing over your hard earned.
