Sony Vaio LV250B

Sony's new Vaio LV250B all-in-one remains just as feature-rich and versatile as the debut version, the LV100 series. This new model features a new CPU, generally better specs, and a lower price than the LV180J we reviewed back in September, all of which is great. Even better, Sony stays true...

Velocity Micro Edge Z-5 (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 Overclocked)

Velocity Micro's $999 Edge Z5 is a worthy sub-$1,000 desktop, in particular for those looking for a capable--but affordable--gaming PC. Rather than relying on the off-the-shelf parts for this system, Velocity has applied its savvy as a performance PC vendor to this system, overclocking where appropriate and eschewing most nonessential...

Dell Studio XPS-122B

Dell's fixed-configuration Studio XPS-122B is essentially a showcase for Intel's relatively new Core i7 desktop processors. This $999 Dell provides all of the features we expect to find at this price, as well as very aggressive multitasking and multithreaded application performance. The Studio XPS-122B has few frills, but anyone looking...

HP Pavilion Elite m9515y

HP's Pavilion Elite m9515y is the kind of PC for which we're surprised there's still a market. We say that because we've officially soured on the idea of a standard mid-tower in the living room, and if you want a computer to serve as a dedicated small-scale home entertainment system...

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 Studio XPS

The Dell Studio XPS is the fourth PC we've reviewed from Dell using the same glossy black midtower chassis. We're still excited by this system, however, because it's another affordable PC with Intel's powerful new Core i7 desktop CPU. The Studio XPS reviewed here is a $1,299 configuration that outperforms...

Gateway FX6800-01e

Gateway's FX6800-01e is the first mainstream PC we've seen with Intel's new Core i7 desktop processor, but that's far from the only exciting feature in this desktop. A smartly spruced-up case design and a forward-looking motherboard give this PC a decided edge over its competition. The orange-and-black case might not...
