- 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...

- Dell XPS 625 Desktop Computer (AMD Phenom X4 940, 500GB HDD, 4GB)
- Normally we criticize gaming PCs from large vendors like Dell for failing to keep their specs as aggressively up to date as their boutique competition. But after looking for systems to compare with Dell's new $1,499 XPS 625, it seems as of this writing that the entire desktop market is...

- Dell XPS One 24 (PRODUCT) RED desktop computer (Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200, 750GB HDD, 4GB)
- We liked Sony's Vaio LV180J 24-inch all-in-one because it works as a relatively complete secondary home entertainment system. Despite Dell's ambitions in that direction with its own XPS One 24, we don't think it's as well suited to the purpose. Instead, Dell's new large screen all-in-one fares better if you...

- Dell Inspiron Mini 9
- We've known for some time that Dell was working on a Netbook-style laptop--the same kind of small, low-power, inexpensive system made popular by Asus and the Eee PC line. And even though there are not many surprises in the new Inspiron Mini 9, it's still an excellent example of the...
