- Sony Vaio L117FX (Core 2 Quad Q8400s 2.66GHz, 6GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium)
- Had Apple not introduced a 27-inch iMac for $1,699, we'd have fewer reservations about Sony asking $1,999 for its new 24-inch Vaio L117FX. Yes, HP's TouchSmart 600 expanded on some of Sony's innovations from its previous generation all-in-ones. Sony also doesn't even attempt to match HP's creative multitouch software. But...

- AVADirect Nano Cube
- AVADirect's $2,266 Nano Cube tries to take on Shuttle's XPC H7 5800 at its own small form factor game. Both systems come with smaller-than-normal SFF cases, and each requires sacrifices, even more than with a standard SFF PC, in exchange for its tiny dimensions. Therein lies our problem with this...

- Averatec D1130 All-in-One
- The Averatec D1130 All-In-One is a stripped-down version of the D1133 we reviewed last month, and while this version cuts the price down to only $399, it also strips away many of the features that gave the higher-end model some value. With its puny 1.6GHz Intel Atom chip, 1GB of...

- New Roku XR will add 802.11n Wi-Fi upgrade to cheap media streamer
- Stability and antenna more important than 802.11nVideo streams are 4.5 Mbps at best. Even 802.11b can handle it so long as you have a very stable stream with no radio interference. In come cases, 802.11b is more resilient against interference because each pulse of data occupies a longer...

- New Roku XR will add 802.11n Wi-Fi upgrade to cheap media streamer
- It may not be the ultimate media streaming solution, but for $99.99 the Roku Digital Video Player already does quite a bit, including offering Netflix and Amazon Video On Demand and Major League Baseball games. Unlike many of its competitors, Roku even offers built-in Wi-Fi to go along with its...

- Averatec D1133 All-In-One
- Does a certain price make a nonmobile computer a Nettop? How about a particular CPU or case design? The Averatec D1133 All-In-One blurs the lines. Its low price and relatively slow performance make an argument for calling it a Nettop. But even though it's slow by conventional PC standards, thanks...

- The State of 802.11n
- With the ratification of 802.11n, wireless LANs are finally coming of age. Though its status as an official IEEE standard is new, the technology is mature and proven. The 802.11n specification is built upon the foundation laid ten years ago by 802.11b and improved in subsequent years with higher speeds,...

It makes up for its discount bin looks with fast performance, as well as a solid all-around set of features. We'd recommend this desktop to budget-minded gamers, digital media artists, or anyone in need a reasonably...

- Link-Level Measurements of Outdoor 802.11g Links
- 802.11 based outdoor community mesh networks have seen several deployments in the last few years. Prior link level studies focus mostly on 802.11b links, and a systematic and detailed link-level study of 802.11g is lacking. This paper presents a study of the link error rate as a function of the...
