Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000

It's wireless and stylish, and it offers several useful features, but the Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 has a cheap, lightweight feel that hurts this otherwise well-designed keyboard-and-mouse set.

Dell Inspiron Mini 12

The Dell Inspiron Mini 12 is a good size and features lots of storage, but is hampered by its sluggish performance and inability to stay on your lap.

All Dell reviews

The Dell Studio 1735 is a decent laptop which is best for multimedia and casual gaming, but the glossy, hi-res screen isn't suited to general usage.

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.

Pioneer BDR-202BK

Pioneer's drive and bundle is excellent, but also expensive and clearly an early adopter's product.

Acer Aspire L3600

The Aspire aspires to be one half media center, one half desktop PC, and it's ultimately one half as compelling as a result.
