- ZT Affinity 7334Ma (Phenom 2 X4 945 3GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Vista Home Premium 64-bit)
- Apparently, ZT Systems didn't get our memo asking for a complete redesign of its Affinity series desktop computers. Earlier this year, we bemoaned the blase styling of the Affinity 7308Ma, and although this new $800 Affinity 7334Ma looks just as generic, it still offers a robust set of components including...

- eMachines T5246
- The eMachines T5246 PC is the most expensive of the budget desktop brand's offerings this quarter. Of course, at $429, it's not exactly a luxury item. If you're thinking about a lower-end eMachines system and have a few extra dollars to spare, we'd certainly recommend this one over the $349...

- Editors' note: This review is part of our 2009 Retail Laptop and Desktop Holiday Roundup, which covers specific fixed configurations of popular systems found in retail stores. The Asus Essentio CG5270-BP004 bears a striking resemblance to a young teenager trying too hard. With its oversized, canted case, it's easy to...

- Editors' note: This review is part of our 2009 Retail Laptop and Desktop Holiday Roundup, which covers specific fixed configurations of popular systems found in retail stores.The $680 Pavilion P6230y is another midrange HP desktop PC that looks good on paper, but can't keep up with the competition in...

- Psystar Open(Q)
- If nothing else, Psystar's OpenQ should serve as a message to Apple that it's long overdue in bringing quad-core CPUs to its mainstream desktops. Because as much as the OpenQ lacks Apple's design polish, this $799, illicitly OS X-based midtower runs circles around Apple's $1,499 24-inch iMac on our benchmarks....

- HP Pavilion Slimline s3710t Customizable Desktop PC
- We've been fans of HP's Pavilion Slimline desktops for a few years now. With the right combination of components, they can tackle both general productivity and home entertainment chores with aplomb. The $869 Pavilion Slimline S7310t is no different from its predecessors, offering a Blu-ray drive, wireless networking, and speedy...

- ZT Affinity N4004i-17
- While its performance is on par with other mainstream laptops that hover around the $1,000 mark, the ZT Affinity N4004i simply can't compete on design or features. Under the hood, this 15-inch laptop features a modern configuration--based on the Intel Centrino 2 platform--and has 64-bit Windows Vista. Unfortunately, that hood...

- Gateway DX4200-UB001A
- We didn't love Gateway's new FX4710 performance desktop because it sacrificed extra features (say, a faster 3D card?) for the sake of plumping its memory specs. We felt the same trepidation with the $750 DX4200, but the fact is that this desktop is the best-equipped mainstream midtower on the...

- Gateway GT5692
- The $550 Gateway GT5692 is part a new batch of recently released midrange desktop PCs. This particular configuration has an AMD Phenom X3 8450 triple-core processor, 4GB of memory, HDMI-out, and 64-bit Windows Vista. The package gave us decent speed and benchmarking results, so if you're looking for a dependable...

- eMachines T5274
- The eMachines T5274 is eMachines' higher-end budget desktop for the back to school season. While it seems like a good deal for $400, the fact is that the low-end PC market has become increasingly competitive this year, which makes it hard for systems such as this one that straddle two...

- ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35
- The $750 ZT Affinity 7225Xi-35 is a fairly ambitious lower-midrange PC. This fixed configuration includes a lower-end quad-core chip, 4GB of memory, and a discrete graphics card. The result is solid everyday performance, and if you need a basic, capable desktop, this system will serve. Its lack of 64-bit Windows...

- AMD releases Quad and Triple core Phenom processors
- [UPDATE: Are triple-core Phenom processors just failed quad-core units?  I've been asked this question several times today and to get a definitive answer I approached Scott Carroll, AMD Public Relations, for an official response. Me: "Scott, are triple-core Phenom processors just failed quad-core units?" Scott: "No...

- ZT Group Reliant VPX6001
- The marketing efforts behind Intel's various platforms have met with differing degrees of success. While the Centrino mobile platform was one of Intel's more successful campaigns, it's safe to say that the Viiv platform for Media Center PCs has failed to resonate with PC buyers. The jury is still out...
