Dell Studio Hybrid: It's hard for us to recommend the Dell Studio Hybrid desktop for any practical purpose. As a desktop for productivity, you can get more bang-for-your-buck from a typical budget-priced midtower PC. And if your goal is either space-saving or using this system as a media PC, we'd instead point you...; Tags: Desktops, Processors, Dell Computer Corp., Studio Hybrid; Product reviews 2008-07-29
Google's warehouse-size power problem: Google's warehouse-size power problemGoogle turned Iowa in the Horrors for electricity.And yes, horrors is misspelled to get past the censor bot.Google may not be able to curb their power appetite but they managed to turn Iowa in a state of *horrors* by making a deal where they pay no taxes...; Tags: Taxes, Free trade, Tom, tax, Google Inc., WinXP Pro Off, Sun Microsystems Inc.; Discussion threads 2007-07-28
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'...; Tags: Performance management, Processors, Semiconductors, Desktops, DVD, eMachines T5226, eMachines T5224, eMachines Inc., Intel Pentium; Product reviews 2007-04-30
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...; Tags: Desktops, HP Pavilion, Slimline, Hewlett-Packard Co., memory, PC; Product reviews 2007-04-03

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...; Tags: HD DVD, Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Desktops, Media Center PCs, HP Pavilion, Hewlett-Packard Co., Microsoft Windows Vista, TV-PC, HD-DVD, Media Center PC; Product reviews 2007-02-24
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...; Tags: chip, eMachines Inc., eMachines T5224, PC; Product reviews 2007-02-05
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....; Tags: Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Performance management, Processors, WinBook, PowerSpec T470, PowerSpec, Dell Dimension E521, Dell Computer Corp., Dell Dimension, Intel Core 2 Duo, performance; Product reviews 2007-02-02
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....; Tags: Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), DVD, Consumer electronics, TV & Home Theater, iBuyPower Value 640, Value 640, Shuttle; Product reviews 2007-02-01
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...; Tags: Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Desktops, Dell Computer Corp., Dimension E521, Microsoft Windows Vista, Dell Dimension E521, Dell Dimension; Product reviews 2007-01-30
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...; Tags: Chipsets, Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Semiconductors, Desktops, Shuttle, XPC X200M, Microsoft Windows Vista; Product reviews 2007-01-22

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...; Tags: Performance management, Processors, Desktops, TFT, Gateway Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Gateway DX420X, Intel Core 2 Duo; Product reviews 2006-12-20
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...; Tags: Microsoft Windows Vista (Longhorn), Processors, Semiconductors, Intel Core 2 Duo, Aspire L310, Acer Inc., Microsoft Windows Vista; Product reviews 2006-12-14
HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7690n - Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13 GHz: 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...; Tags: HD DVD, Desktops, Media Center PCs, DVD, Consumer electronics, Digital media, TV, HP Pavilion, Hewlett-Packard Co., HD-DVD, desktop, PC, DVI, Media Center PC, Intel Core 2 Duo; Product reviews 2006-11-28
Shuttle XPC P2 3700g: The Shuttle XPC P2 3700g is the newer, Intel version of the AMD-based XPC P2 2700 model we reviewed earlier this year and adds a couple of important upgrades. First, the P2 3700g features Intel's Core 2 Duo processors, which our tests show improve overall performance.

Velocity Micro ProMagix E2200: Many vendors have tried to sell higher-end midrange PCs in retail stores, but few have really done it right. Velocity Micro has had some success recently, though, bringing its strong build quality and a knack for configuring powerful, cost-effective PCs to the shelves of Best Buy last year.

Sony VAIO VGC-LS1: Sony's VAIO line of desktop PCs has traditionally been a more of a showcase for new designs and technologies than a collection of workhorse systems for everyday use.

VidaBox Slim: While some consumers are looking for a Media Center system that can pull double duty as an everyday PC, others seek a dedicated home-theater system that will rarely display anything other than Microsoft's Media Center front end.

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.
