- WinBook 46D1
- How low can flat-panel prices go? The WinBook 46D1 answers that question--at least as it pertains to 46-inch LCD-based HDTVs--with a $1,300 price tag, beating just about everything in its size range this week at least. You've probably never heard of WinBook, and if you have it's because of its...

- WinBook PowerSpec T470
- By itself, WinBook's new PowerSpec T470 looks like a strong-enough machine for Windows Vista Home Premium. If it came in around $800 or so, we'd be happy with its overall price performance, too. The problem is that at $999, it's too close in price to the faster Dell Dimension E521....

- WinBook PowerSpec 7501
- Like many $999 and under PCs this year, WinBook's PowerSpec 7150 aims for a bare-essentials sweet spot, combining an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a discrete graphics card into an affordable Windows Vista-ready desktop. At its core, its configuration is almost identical to the Velocity Micro Vector GX Campus...

- WinBook PowerSpec 9800
- Before we found out that Dell was giving its customers the brush-off, we would have said that the $4,500 WinBook PowerSpec 9800, despite its great benchmark scores, wasn't nearly as attractive a system or a deal as the Dell XPS 700. Since Dell isn't shipping a comparable XPS 700 until...

- WinBook Jiv Mini
- Hardly a week goes by it seems without another Mac Mini-style Media Center showing up on our doorstep. The WinBook Jiv Mini manages to pack more features into a smaller package than any small-form-factor SFF system we've seen to date. Not much bigger than a standard router, it boasts an...

- WinBook X610
- Long a maker of low-price laptops without much style, WinBook turns over a new leaf with its ultraportable X610. The X610 is light and attractive, and it's powerful enough to give more expensive machines from Dell and Lenovo a run for their money. Still, it's slightly heavier than its competitors...

- Cyberpower Gamer Ultra 8500 SE (AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 )
- As usual, Cyberpower assembled a very attractive system for us to review. For the hardware alone, the Gamer Ultra 8500 SE is a steal at $999. Even if we don't love the case, anyone in the market for a budget gaming PC will be impressed, especially because the deal includes...

- HP Pavilion SlimLine s3020n PC
- Hewlett-Packard's new Pavilion SlimLine s3020n PC comes bearing HP's new glossy black vision for all of its PCs and laptops. We've long complained that HP gray was only a few boring steps removed from old-school desktop beige, and we're glad to see HP took some steps to make its PCs...

- HP Pavilion a1740n
- You'll find HP's Pavilion a1740n on stores shelves at Best Buy, Circuit City, and other large PC retailers. We suggest you leave it there. The street price of this PC is roughly $850, depending on in-store rebates and other discount offers. Dell offers a much more compelling Dimension E521 for...

- Polywell Poly 690G-5200
- Polywell's low to midrange Poly 690G-5200 sounds like a decent desktop for the money. It's got a better-than-average dual core AMD processor, AMD's brand new 690G chipset, and it only costs $899. Its unassuming case neither offends nor impresses, and even though its performance lags a bit considering its specs,...

- eMachines T5224
- The eMachines T5224 is the first true budget-class PC we've seen with Windows Vista on it. We mostly like what we've seen so far, but we can't help but wonder what would happen if Gateway/eMachines took better advantage of AMD's aggressive chip pricing. This $580 PC (before $50 rebate) comes...

- Shuttle XPC X200M

- HP Pavilion Slimline s7600e
- HP's Slimline Pavilion s7600e has a major advantage over previous incarnations of HP's small-form-factor design: a dual-core CPU. Thanks to AMD's new line of energy-efficient Athlon 64 X2 chips, HP can now compete with the Mac Mini as a powerful, feature-rich tiny PC. The Mac Mini has a size and...

- Polywell Poly i570SLI
- Polywell's Poly i570SLI Core 2 Duo system skirts the edge of the elite gaming PC segment by virtue of its high-end specs and $2,999 price. Highlights include an overclocked Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 chip, a brand-new GeForce 7950 GT graphics card, and the usual assortment of performance-quality parts. The...

- Dell Dimension C521

- Dell XPS 210
- Dell's small-form-factor SFF PC, newly revamped and renamed the XPS 210 ($1,844, as configured) might be better off picking a side. On the one hand, you have the likes of Apple and WinBook, whose closed boxes are tiny, feature-packed, generally sub-$1,000 powerhouses whose strengths are basic computing and serving up...

- HP Pavilion Slimline s7500y
- HP is getting better at small-form-factor computing. We liked the original HP Pavilion Slimline s7220n and its successor, the s7320m, despite their wimpy notebook processors and lack of configuration options. Now HP tries it again, with the $830 (after a $50 mail-in rebate) HP Pavilion Slimline s7500y. The new system,...

- If the Shuttle XPC X100 had come out back in February when it was first announced, we'd be pretty excited. But finally shuffling into view past the midyear mark, it's a case of too little, too late for what initially seemed like a very promising system. The smallest Shuttle we've...
