Sony VAIO PCV-LX2 review

Review Sony has upgraded the internals of its eye-catching desktop PC to bring them up to date, and dropped the price. Although it's still not an absolute bargain, this is an affordable and attractive system.

Sony VAIO PCV-RX203 review

Review Sony's PCV-RX203 delivers the performance and features required for video, audio and stills editing. It looks good enough to grace a design studio too.

Sony VAIO PCV-RX1 review

Review If appearances and capabilities are more important to you than the last few drops of performance, the VAIO PCV-RX1 is a desktop PC you should consider.

Toshiba Equium 8100D review

Review The Equium 8100D is a good-value workhorse for running mainstream productivity applications, but is otherwise unremarkable.

Apple iMac 800MHz PowerPC G4 review

Review The iMac is dead; long live the iMac. After ringing up reported sales of 6 million units, Apple has retired its famous teardrop-shaped consumer computer and replaced it with a visually striking device that has to be seen to be appreciated. The revised model's 15in. LCD screen hangs suspended by a stainless-steel articulated arm above a dome-shaped white base that looks like it was designed for a table lamp.

Dell Dimension 4400 review

Review If you need a little extra computing power, this 2.2GHz Pentium 4 system can certainly provide it -- but there's plenty of attractively priced competition.

Apple Power Macintosh G4 review

Review The G4s are the fastest Macintoshes Apple has yet built. The 867MHz model offers good performance for a decent price, with a DVD-R/CD-RW SuperDrive in case you want to create your own DVDs.

Dell Dimension 4300 review

Review A good value mid-range PC that introduces Intel's 845 chipset and SDRAM to the Pentium 4 processor.

AMD Athlon XP review

Review A worthwhile upgrade, if only for the reduction in power consumption and resulting need for less cooling technology.

Dell Dimension 8200 review

Review This is a top-class system for running multimedia applications and games -- and pretty much anything else you care to throw at it.

Micro PC M-Series review

Review If you require basic PC functionality in an unobtrusive form factor, the Micro PC could be for you.

Sony VAIO PCV-LX1 review

Review Although the PCV-LX1 is a very desirable PC, it's not for the budget-limited or the 3D gamer.

Dell Precision 330 review

Review A versatile workstation aimed at multimedia content creators.

Evesham Axis 1200 DDR Ultra review

Review A very fast PC, and much better value than any Pentium 4 system at the moment.

HP Vectra vl800 review

Review A good first cut at a Pentium 4 system for business use, even if the CPU has yet to prove its worth.
