Acer Aspire Revo AR1600-U910H

Typically our challenges with the emergent Nettop category have been that real budget PCs cost just a little bit more and provide a dramatic performance uptick, and similarly priced Netbooks offer equivalent performance with the added benefit of portability. The Aspire Revo 1600's price tag alone answers those issues. ...

Dell Inspiron Mini 10v Netbook Computer (Intel Atom N270, 120GB HDD, 1GB)

The "v" in the Dell Mini 10v's name is seemingly there to indicate value for thrifty Netbook shoppers. The system is in many ways hard to distinguish from its more expensive cousin and is one of the better under-$299 Netbook packages we've seen. It does, however, lack the high-end configuration...

Dell Latitude 2100

Netbooks, while as popular as ever, have settled into a fairly routine existence, with thin plastic shells, Intel Atom CPUs, Windows XP, and 10-inch displays. But when a company attempts to take these basic parts and dress them up with unique features, our ears perk up. Recently we've seen stabs...

eMachines EL1300G-01w

We're this close to really liking eMachines' most affordable desktop. The $298 EL1300G-01w has a sharp design, and sacrifices little in the way of core features. Our hang-up lies mostly in its pokey performance. We recognize that many of you are willing to sacrifice speed for a borderline throw-away PC...

Dell Studio One 19 Desktop Computer (Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200, 500GB HDD, 4GB)

Dell's review strategy tends to lean toward sending us the more expensive configurations of its built-to-order desktops. We wish it had chosen a different course with its new all-in-one, the Studio One 19, because we have a feeling the baseline $699 model ($869 with the multitouch input option) would offer...
