- Sony Vaio JS190J (black)
- Finally, a Windows-based all-in-one computer earns our admiration. We've seen new all-in-one PCs from Hewlett-Packard and Averatec this year, and Apple also refreshed its popular iMac. None of them deliver as much in the way of features and performance as Sony's new, $1,499 Vaio JS190J. A full-size desktop processor helps...

- Vertical line issue also plagues some iMacs
- On Friday I posted a piece about a problem with vertical lines appearing on PowerBook G4 17-inch screens just as they got outside of their three-year AppleCare warranty. Anecdotal evidence suggests that there may be a similar problem with some third generation 17-inch Intel iMacs with serial...

- Got any old iMacs laying around?
- You know the ones I'm talking about. The candy-colored ones that live forever, even as you're hoping they'll die so you can replace them with something that will run OS X? A few can be upgraded, but OS X is really made for something a bit, well, snappier....

- Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)
- We've already shown our affection for Apple's highest-end iMac, but with back-to-school shopping season in full-swing, the time felt right to fill in a gap in our review database by covering the lowest-end, $1,200, 20-inch model. What we find is that the most affordable iMac has the usual content-creation strengths...

- Averatec All-in-One
- Averatec's new, self-describing All-in-One offers yet another Windows-based take on the iMac. Compared with similar systems from Dell and Gateway, the $1,300 All-in-One actually has the most aggressive price, as well as the largest screen. In general, and as with those others, Averatec's new PC is less compelling than the...

- Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz)
- A bump to the frontside bus and a smidge more L2 cache can safely be classified as a minor update. But even slightly improved specifications, when they come at a lower price than those they replace, are appreciated. Last September, we tested the highest-end 24-inch model, which carried a baseline...

- Apple iMac refresh roundup
- Coverage of the Apple iMac refresh fell into two camps. The first consists of the usual specs and prices. This was a speed bump--the design of the aluminum all-in-one is unchanged--with faster Core 2 Duo processors, larger L2 cache, more memory, a faster system bus, and new...

- Could Apple be preparing the way for Mac gaming?
- Yesterday's refresh of the iMac line is interesting, not because of the bump in speed that the refresh itself offers but because of the direction that Apple is going in. Is Apple preparing the way for gaming on the Mac? First, let's look closer at that 3.06GHz...
