- Dell Inspiron i545s-3055NBK
- If you liked the slim tower design of the Dell Inspiron 545s-1476N but couldn't get past its mediocre performance, the $579 Inspiron 545s-3055NBK might catch your interest. Both systems feature the same space-saving chassis, but the 545s-3055NBK's 2.93GHz Intel processor helped it edge out the Gateway SX2800-01 in our lab....

- Apple iMac (21.5-inch, 3.06Hz Intel Core 2 Duo, Nvidia GeForce 9400M, Fall 2009)
- We awarded Apple an Editors' Choice for its new $1,699 iMac, largely because its 27-inch screen dwarfs its competition in that price range. So what to make of Apple's new lower-end iMac? At $1,199, its 21.5-inch screen is hardly the size leader for its price, and without a touch screen...

- Had Apple not introduced a 27-inch iMac for $1,699, we'd have fewer reservations about Sony asking $1,999 for its new 24-inch Vaio L117FX. Yes, HP's TouchSmart 600 expanded on some of Sony's innovations from its previous generation all-in-ones. Sony also doesn't even attempt to match HP's creative multitouch software. But...
