- 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...

- Apple iMac 27-inch
- If we could, we'd take points away from this iMac simply because by giving it a 27-inch display Apple threatens our livelihood. You don't need our input to simply walk past the 27-inch iMac on a store shelf and recognize that it's the largest all-in-one currently available, and that it...

- HP silent on Core i7-based Elite Pavilion PC problems
- Not surprised.Over the last couple of years both HP's and Dell's quality control has virtually fallen off of a cliff. Acer and Gateway never pretended to have any QC, so I guess they don't have any lower to fall.For a new PC, I would only consider a Lenovo system, an...

- Sony, Nokia plan premium netbooks
- One way to wean customers off of cheap netbooks is to offer a better alternative. Many computer makers are now offering ULV-based laptops. Another is to raise the price of netbooks. Both Sony and Nokia are planning to give this strategy a go. I've written about this before, and it...

- The choices for thin, low-cost ULV laptops expand
- Just when I was starting to wonder what happened to all those ultra-low voltage ULV laptops, computer makers opened the flood gates. These laptops, which are thinner, lighter and less costly than mainstream notebooks, are now available in a range of display sizes, including some models with 11.6-inch displays that...

- We've seen netbooks such as the Dell Mini Inspiron 12 (R.I.P.) and Lenovo IdeaPad S12 in the guise of 12.1-inch ultraportables. Now Acer is trying the reverse--a notebook with the same display size as its Aspire One 751h netbook. Rumors about an Acer 11.6-inch laptop have been...
