- Alienware M17x Gaming Laptop Computer (Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300, 500GB HDD, 8GB)
- With a brand-new look, and some of the highest-end tech available in a laptop, we're semi-surprised that Alienware has kept the M17x name for its newest 17-inch laptop (even if it loses the X-Files-esq "Area-51" moniker). While the system starts at a reasonable $1,799, you'll need to configure something closer...

- Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 3011
- Our $749 Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 review unit comes with a 21.5-inch LCD, but Lenovo also sells a variety of other A600 configurations, including a lower-end model with the same display for $679. You might look into the $679 version for pure screen-size-for-your-buck, but our $749 review unit compares too closely...

- HP Pavilion Slimline s3710t Customizable Desktop PC
- We've been fans of HP's Pavilion Slimline desktops for a few years now. With the right combination of components, they can tackle both general productivity and home entertainment chores with aplomb. The $869 Pavilion Slimline S7310t is no different from its predecessors, offering a Blu-ray drive, wireless networking, and speedy...

- Sony Vaio JS250J
- It might lack a touch interface, and it's certainly not a Nettop, but nonetheless, Sony's $1,099 20-inch Vaio JS250J reignites our enthusiasm for Sony's line of Windows Vista-based all-in-one desktops. No other Windows vendor offers an all-in-one with as many features for a comparable price, and although it can't surpass...

- 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...

- Editors' note: This review is part of our Winter 2009 Retail Roundup, covering specific configurations of popular laptops that can be found in retail stores. The $949 15.6-inch Asus G50VT-X5 certainly looks the part of a gaming laptop, with splashes of color, lights everywhere, an extended keyboard, and a small...

- Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Winter 2009)
- One of the things we appreciate the most about Apple's new 20-inch iMac is that it has almost the same core components as the more expensive 24-inch model. Sure the screen is smaller, and the $1,199 default configuration reviewed here has a smaller hard drive and less memory than its...

- Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Winter 2009)
- You may find Apple's new $1,499 iMac attractive, if only because it's one of the most affordable 24-inch all-in-one PCs on the market. Otherwise, Apple's latest update to the iMac line mostly serves to keep it competitive with its Windows-based competition. As usual, you get more flexibility for your money...

- 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...

- HP TouchSmart IQ816 - Core 2 Duo T8100 2.1 GHz - 25.5" TFT
- Above all else, we have to credit HP for taking a risk with its N-trig-powered line of TouchSmart all-in-one PCs. No other Windows desktop vendor has ventured into the relatively uncharted touch-based waters, and any future developments in touch on the desktop will likely use the TouchSmart series as a...

- 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...

But there are new shapes and sizes filling in the gaps ranging from 11 inches all the way up to 18 inches....

- Samsung X460
- For years, Samsung has made laptops for pretty much every laptop-consuming corner of the globe except the U.S (an arrangement that's never particularly bothered us). The Q1 Ultra UMPC is as close as Samsung has come to selling a laptop here, but in the fall of 2008, the company decided...

- Sony Vaio LV180J
- By its updated chassis, it's tempting to think of the $1,999 Sony Vaio LV180J as a more productivity-oriented PC than Sony's previous all-in-one effortss. Supported by a pedestal stand, the LV180J no longer looks like a screen suspended in air, as was the case with the older Vaio LT19U. A...

- When you're shopping for a low-priced media laptop, the Lenovo brand is not likely to come immediately to mind. After all, the company is best known for its serious, business-oriented ThinkPad line. But Lenovo has been doing some interesting things with its consumer-oriented IdeaPad line, from creating a stunningly beautiful...
