Reviews

Dell Studio One 19

There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.
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.
Panasonic HDC-TM200

Like it's hard-disk cousin, the HDC-TM200 features Panasonic's new 3MOS image sensor, Intelligent Auto mode, "advanced" optical image stabilisation and a touchscreen LCD. Instead of a 80GB hard-disk, however, the TM200 has 16GB of built-in flash memory.
Sony Handycam DCR-SX40

Take the step down from the SX60 to the SX40 and you'll have to make do with only 4GB of internal flash memory. Other features, such as 60x optical zoom lens and YouTube uploading, remain though. You do gain a choice of colours (red, silver or blue) though.
Sony Handycam DCR-SX60

The headline act in Sony's standard-def flash camcorder range, the SX60 features 16GB of built-in memory, YouTube uploading and a 60x optical zoom lens.
