Apple iMac (24-inch, 2.8GHz) review

Reviews The higher-end configuration costs and comes with a dual-core 2.8GHz Core 2 Extreme CPU, 2GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. We tested the fastest-available, 2.8GHz version with the optional 750GB hard disk, which added about another £100 to the...

Dell Dimension XPS Gen 5

Reviews Whether hard-core games enthusiasts will purchase a high-end gaming PC from Dell is perhaps questionable, given its dominating presence and the fact that it doesn't offer a dual graphics card configuration, courtesy of Nvidia's SLI technology.

Apple MacBook Pro (17-inch) review

Reviews The 17-inch MacBook Pro comes in one default configuration that costs £1,899. Better still, our fully loaded test configuration powered through most of CNET Labs' performance tests, exhibiting only a few of the growing pains encountered by other...

Elonex Lumina review

Reviews By integrating the monitor into the PC, niggling screen configuration problems have been done away with. The 200GB hard disk and the Elonex's base configuration of 1Gb of RAM will be up to most tasks, including video editing.

Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090 review

Reviews When we reviewed the LX6090 a few months ago we were sent the side-mounted speaker configuration. We like this configuration more because it takes up less space and will mean good things for people with limited space.

Lenovo ThinkPad X301 review

Reviews Though our biggest complaint with this ultra-sleek ThinkPad remains the price -- the base configuration costs £1,900 and goes up from there -- we still recommend it for frequent travellers seeking portability and usability without sacrifice.

O2 XDA Exec review

Reviews However, users are unlikely to require the built-in keyboard all of the time, so the lid section swivels through 180 degrees, Tablet PC-style, and lays flat, leaving you with a more standard handheld configuration with the screen facing outwards.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 review

Reviews The biggest criticism of the ThinkPad X300 is its price: the base configuration costs £1,856 and goes up from there. Unlike the MacBook Air, which comes in a low-cost configuration with a traditional spinning hard drive, the ThinkPad X300 is...

Sony PlayStation 2 (slim form factor) review

Reviews Like the old PS2, the new one can be set up horizontally or vertically, though the latter configuration needs a special stand. The downside is that the PS2's online-gaming experience is a more scattershot affair, requiring title-by-title...

Find the drives you need to succeed

Reviews If you buy a new PC that doesn't have Serial ATA hard drives, you know you're buying a fairly outdated configuration. With multiple drives, many power users will use a RAID 0 configuration. A RAID 1 configuration, or disk mirroring, is less popular...

Apple TV review

Reviews You'll also need a widescreen TV -- there's no configuration option to change the resolution to a 4:3 ratio, which isn't a huge problem because the number of 4:3 British television sets with component or HDMI is tiny.

Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80 review

Reviews While three rear-mounted connections would be just about enough -- you'd be amazed how quickly these sockets get used up these days -- we don't think two at the back and one at the front is a very sensible configuration.
