Despite the laptop gaining strength as the PC du jour in recent times, the desktop still has a place in the home. Here are our top 25 things to consider before buying or building your own desktop.

Sony Ericsson Satio

Sony Ericsson Xperia X2

Sony Ericsson has taken the lid off the Xperia X2, a Windows Mobile smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard that looks suspiciously like last year's model.
Alienware M17x

Alienware's new version of the M17x makes some welcome design tweaks and offers the best laptop gaming hardware you can get. Just be warned: it ain't cheap.
Thecus N7700

The N7700 is one heck of a NAS box if you need something to take seven drives and have nowhere to put a rack mount unit.
Samsung Jet

The Samsung Jet is an excellent touchscreen device that packs a heap of features that would keep most people entertained for some time.
Verbatim Rapier V1

Verbatim's Rapier V1 is an interesting beast. If it can bring up the responsiveness of the mouse buttons and make its powerful software more polished and easy to use, then it could be on to a winner for its next revision.
Dell Studio XPS 16

The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.
Epson Stylus Photo TX800FW

The Epson TX800FW produces impressive colour prints, photos and text documents, and it outpaces the competition in almost all of our speed tests. We're impressed by its performance, but hesitate to recommend this printer based on the poor build quality and error-prone software.
Dell 2209WA

The 2209WA is a monitor with very few flaws. While we'd love to see 1:1 scaling, and the inset screen may cause some users grief, we wouldn't mind two of these sitting on our desk. This is the best 22-inch monitor we've seen.
