Mac or PC? The war rages on. We've thrown the most recent 13-inch MacBook Pro and the closest PC to a Mac we've seen, the Asus U80V, into the ring for an all out brawl.

Reviews

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

    Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.

  • Lenovo 3000 J105

    The Lenovo 3000 J105 is best suited for basic office and home productivity tasks; but with limited upgrade options and a one-year warranty, better deals are out there.

  • Toshiba Satellite M50 (14-inch, 1.4GHz)

  • Norton Ghost 9.0

    Norton Ghost, once the drive-copying software of choice, doesn't have the performance or the breadth of tools offered by rival Acronis True Image.

  • eTrust EZ Antivirus 2005 (6.2)

    If you're concerned about taxing your system resources with antivirus scans, give eTrust EZ Antivirus a try.

  • Dell OptiPlex GX280

    Dell's OptiPlex GX280 is overkill for some offices, but it's a smart investment now if you've got an eye on the future.

    We recommend installing Windows XP SP2 but only after Microsoft has had a few weeks to work out the kinks.
