Reviews

  • Linksys Media Center Extender DMA2200

    The MCE DMA2200 is probably the best media streaming device we've ever tested. It only works with Windows Vista, but for streaming media from a PC to the TV, it's ideal.

  • Altech Maestro Fusion

    The Altech Maestro Fusion is a beautiful system, but you'll need a TV and sound system to complete the picture (literally).

  • Enspire Vitesse XPS

    The Enspire Vitesse XPS is a good, all-round performer that should please the whole family, but we'd put it in the study instead of the lounge.

  • Pioneer Dreamvision VIIV Media Centre Mini PC

    The Pioneer Dreamvision VIIV Media Centre is a flexible machine which can reasonably serve in a multitude of roles, but the word "compromise" springs to mind.

  • Acer Aspire iDea 510

    The Acer Aspire iDea 510 is a premium-priced media centre which boasts a 500GB hard drive and an operating noise of only 23db.

  • HP Pavilion m8095a

    The HP Pavilion m8095a is a versatile-looking system which is designed to integrate into the loungeroom or act as a multimedia desktop.

  • Acer Aspire L320

    As large as a leather-bound book, the Acer Aspire L320 is a full-featured lifestyle PC which promises to perform with the big boys without compromising space or power consumption.

  • Acer Aspire 9425WSMi

    Though it's not designed specifically with Windows Vista in mind, the Acer Aspire 9425WSMi certainly packs the specs which should carry it off.
