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.

HP Pavilion Elite m9100t: HP's Pavilion Elite m9100t is a well intentioned, expensive do-it-all desktop. Go down its spec sheet and you'll likely come away with the idea that there's very little this system can't do. We just wish it did more to distinguish itself from its competition, particularly from Dell.
