Apple iMac (24in., 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo, 2009) review
Review Apple has made a number of changes to its £1,199 iMac, but offering a 24in. screen at this price is the most impressive. The remaining updates are welcome, and the system's multitasking capability remains unmatched.

ASUS Eee Box review
Review Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more. The appeal of the Eee PC does not carry over to the Eee Box.

NComputing X300 review
Review NComputing's X300 provides a cost-effective way to hang up to six terminals off a single desktop PC using low-power, secure, easy to administer and quiet access terminals. It's not for power users, but is well suited to schools, business workgroups, libraries, internet cafés and suchlike.
