Dell Studio Hybrid
If you consider all of the options in the price range, the Dell Studio Hybrid is not very compelling. However, if you limit yourself to the very specific niche of small PCs, you'll appreciate its clever design and relatively powerful hardware.
Dell Inspiron 1525
Taking consumer complaints to heart, Dell updates its mainstream 15-inch laptop with the Inspiron 1525. It's thinner, lighter, and less expensive than its predecessor.
Dell 2709W
Dell's latest 27-inch introduces an updated menu system, several new inputs and wide colour gamut.
Dell 3008WFP
With a crazy number of inputs, 1080p over component and good rendering of 1080i, this screen has set itself up as a potential TV replacement, let alone a huge monitor. This one's the new king.
Dell XPS M1530
Don't let the slim design and relatively light heft fool you. This XPS is one powerful gaming portable with an impressive feature set for work and play.
Dell XPS M1730
When most desktop replacements tend to target power users or entertainment seekers, the Dell XPS M1730 makes no bones about being a gaming machine.
Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP
The Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP, a 20-inch wide-screen LCD, serves up a winning combination of features, image quality, and adjustability -- all for a very reasonable price.
Dell Optiplex SX280
Dell's Optiplex SX280 is a business desktop PC featuring a plethora of cutting edge technologies. We take an early look.
Apple MacBook 2.4GHz
The 2008 Apple MacBook is a perfect amalgam of design and usability, and is able to beat many Windows PCs at their own game.
Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)
Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favourite all-in-one. And while its looks, its ease of use, and its performance are all selling points, Windows PCs are starting to catch up (at least with the latter).
Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz)
Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.
Apple Mac Pro
Apple's Mac Pro has design innovations that we hope will cross over to other systems. Its performance is as strong as you'd expect for a system in its class, and it's priced right, too. You might need more flexibility in your config options, especially for 3D design, but otherwise, the Mac Pro is as solid a professional-class PC as we've seen.
Dell Photo All-in-One Printer 922
If you want a fast scanner that produces high-quality prints, this is the one. But for overall speed and fax capabilities, look elsewhere.
Apple Mac Mini (2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
The Mac Mini remains unique as the smallest mainstream desktop, but competition from Dell and HP has narrowed the gap in features while also offering room for expansion, and at a better price.
Apple LED Cinema Display (24-inch)
A new Cinema Display is certainly welcome, and hints towards more being released at next year's MacWorld. We do feel however that Apple has shot itself in the foot by only providing a Mini DisplayPort input.
Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)
A slight bump to the specifications for the same price, the option to upgrade the graphics means the 24-inch iMac keeps the Editors' Choice it earned last year.
Apple Mac Mini Core Duo
Apple packs more media-specific features into the Mac Mini to make an inexpensive and useful entertainment-room computer. It's tremendously easy to use, although it surprised us with poor image processing.
Asus Eee PC S101
Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.
Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)
With its super-elegant new design and a strong configuration, Apple's new iMac competes with the PC desktop market better than perhaps any previous Mac to date.
