Shuttle XPC X200M

Shuttle's XPC X100 PC impressed us with its design this past summer, but its feature set lagged behind similar systems', such as Apple's Mac Mini and the WinBook Jiv Mini. With its updated XPC X200M, Shuttle brings the features in-line with what we expect from a smaller PC, adding an...

eMachines T5226 - Pentium D 925 3GHz

The only significant difference between the eMachines T5224 we reviewed earlier in the year and the new T5226 is the CPU. The newer $550 T5226 has a 3.0GHz Intel Pentium D 925 dual-core processor, a slight uptick over the older Intel chip in the T5224. And while we like eMachines'...

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 Media Center m7780n TV PC

Like other systems we've reviewed lately, the only feature that distinguishes HP's new $1,599 Pavilion Media Center m7780n TV PC from its older model is that this newer PC comes with Windows Vista. That's fine, as few developments in PC hardware since we reviewed the last model warrant any dramatic...

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...

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....

iBuyPower Value 640

It's not as trim and tidy as the Shuttle XPC X200M, nor does the iBuyPower Value 640 house as many features. This Vista-based home-theater PC provides better performance at a lower price, however, and it allows for easy upgrades--an important fact given the sparse configuration of our $1,001 review unit....

Dell Dimension E521

Most of the hardware behind Dell's midrange Dimension E521 isn't that new. What is exciting is that Dell now offers it with Windows Vista Home Premium. The Dimension E521 in general is a typically customizable Dell PC, and the $1,029 configuration we received demonstrates that if you pick the right...

Gateway DX420X - Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86 GHz - 19" TFT

Gateway's DX420X is as strong as any midrange desktop we've seen. Our $1,606 review unit's Core 2 Duo E6600 processor hits the price and performance sweet spot, its GeForce 7900 GT graphics card is a tick faster than what you typically find in a sub-$2,000 PC, and a raft of...

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...

If you're anxious to step into the high-definition future, HP's Pavilion m7690n Media Center TV PC makes it relatively easy. HP's first HD desktop adds HD-DVD movie-watching to the long list of its home theater PC capabilities. For $1,649, this fixed-configuration, retail-only PC is more expensive than stand-alone HD-DVD or...

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,...
