Dell SX2210T

We're still not convinced touchscreen monitors plugged into desktops without dedicated software is a good idea, and the SX2210t does nothing to change this.

ViewSonic VNB101

Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.
HP Color LaserJet CP2025n

Although the HP CP2025n is rather slow to print black documents and is missing supplementary features, the colour laser shines in output quality, and the software holds your hand through a somewhat daunting learning curve. We recommend it to anyone hunting for a workhorse printer to complement an equally diligent work environment.
Mercedes-Benz E280 CDI Sport Edition

It may be showing its age in parts but this luxury sedan is so capable of conquering cities and subduing the highways with its supple yet firm ride that we're willing to forgive it its many foibles.
Dell Inspiron 13
