- HP Pavilion Elite m9300t
- At its core, our $1,100 HP Pavilion Elite m9300t review unit is a reasonably priced example of HP's midrange desktop. It gives you about $900 worth of basic computer, and an extra $200 in home theater-style extras. The good news is that this system is configurable, so if, like us,...

- HTC Touch Cruise
- The HTC Touch Cruise made its debut way back in November 2007, and unfortunately, it never found its way to the United States. However, being a glutton of punishment and out of pure curiosity, we got our hands on an unlocked version of the Windows Mobile 6 smartphone thanks to...

- HTC Touch Diamond
- We don't envy the HTC Touch Diamond. There's a lot of pressure on this little smartphone; HTC executive Cheng Hui-ming has called it "the most important product for HTC this year," and of course, the Touch Diamond has been compared to the Apple iPhone. Now, we're still a few months...

- Cheap(er) hi-def TiVo coming in August

- HP Pavilion Media Center m7780n TV PC
- Like other systems we've reviewed lately, the only feature that distinguishes HP's new $1,599 Pavilion Media Center m7780n TV PC from its older model is that this newer PC comes with Windows Vista. That's fine, as few developments in PC hardware since we reviewed the last model warrant any dramatic...

- Apple iMac Core 2 Duo (17-inch, 1.83GHz)
- The 17-inch iMac may seem inadequate next to Apple's new 24-inch behemoth, but Apple's smallest all-in-one desktop still has a lot going for it. Priced at $999, it's the first iMac to break the $1,000 barrier. Along with the 24-inch iMac, it receives a processor from Intel's new mobile Core...

- Now, about that G5
- Last week's discussion of Apple's deteriorating competitive position with respect to the high end desktop got misunderstood by a lot of readers who thought I was comparing the G5 to the new "woodcrest" Xeons. I wasn't, but that kind of thing is always fun, so lets start by looking at...

- iBuyPower Value Ultra
- With smaller vendors such as iBuyPower, model names usually don't mean much because the company's online configuration options are so abundant that one model can be customized to look just like another. Still, the company's budget-minded Value Ultra model is a logical place to start for students looking for a...

- Polywell, a company whose high-end gaming and Media Center systems we're accustomed to seeing, has put together a basic box suitable for back-to-school shoppers, with the Polywell Poly 430AM2. This PC won't win any awards for design or performance, and at $1,350 (including a 19-inch LCD monitor and 5.1 speakers),...

- Maingear X-Cube
- We don't usually get to make sweeping declarative statements, but Maingear has given us the opportunity. Its small-form-factor SFF X-Cube gaming desktop is the most advanced PC in its class. No other vendor of a pseudo-portable gaming computer offers a more up-to-date system. This $3,300 PC is by no means...

- Good things come in small packages, according to popular lore, and PC Club's pint-size Enpower Media Center Xpress Special Edition certainly tries to live up to that axiom, cramming lots of hardware into a small-form-factor SFF case. Putting the special in Special Edition are the twin SLI graphics cards, something...

If you're looking for a dedicated living-room PC or a future-proof gaming machine, keep looking, but for an undistinguished jack-of-all-trades, the $1,268...

The positively petite Mac Mini Core Duo has won the affections of many and inspired copycat systems such as the Blueado m5e...
