- 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...

- Sony Vaio L117FX (Core 2 Quad Q8400s 2.66GHz, 6GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium)
- 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...

- WD TV Live HD Media Player
- The first few rounds of network media streamers we tested weren't necessarily recommendable. Sure, this was partially because most of these devices depend on Windows Media Center for connectivity and content, but we also had issues with their interfaces and performance.Fast forward a year and it's safe to say that...

- Intel's Light Peak to cut the cables
- ExceptThe hardware to interface to this would be the same for all devices. The cost to connect a lower end communication device would be as high as the higher end devices. This will be cost prohibitive.I don't think my mouse needs 10 Gb/s communication... well, okay maybe during some of...

- Apple regroups for living room push; drops 40GB Apple TV, slashes 160GB price
- I'll keep hoping for a hardware refresh...But it's equally likely they did this because there is no longer a real price difference between a 40GB hard drive and a 160GB hard drive and sales between the two are equally lackluster. Why have 2 models at all when the parts cost...

It makes up for its discount bin looks with fast performance, as well as a solid all-around set of features. We'd recommend this desktop to budget-minded gamers, digital media artists, or anyone in need a reasonably...
