Reviews

  • Sony Vaio W

    Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Sony Vaio VGC-JS15G/(P/S/T)

    Another entry in Sony's panel PC range, doing its best to imitate Apple.

  • Sony Vaio VGC-LV17G

    Another entry in Sony's panel PC range, but still fails to reach the aesthetic heights of its Apple competitors.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-Z17GNB

    Sony's new ultraportable has switchable graphics and a high resolution 13.1-inch screen.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN

    If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.
