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...

Acer Aspire L310-ED630M - Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86 GHz

Based purely on specs and pricing alone, the Acer Aspire L310 looks like it should knock the CNET Editor's Choice-winning HP Pavilion Slimline s7600e from its small-form-factor throne. At $850, the Aspire L310 is $125 less than the HP system we reviewed, and Acer's system even came in a little...

HP's Slimline Pavilion s7600e has a major advantage over previous incarnations of HP's small-form-factor design: a dual-core CPU.

Apple Mac Mini Core Duo (1.66GHz)

Given its price, Apple's most basic Mac Mini config (recently updated to a dual-core 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo CPU) belongs squarely in the budget category, but Apple's entry-level desktop is far from your typical budget PC. For comparison, we've included the Cyberpower Back to School 2006, and the eMachines T5212...
