Maingear Shift Review

Review: Maingears's Shift pumps out enough gaming performance to go along with a beautiful, innovative design to justify its high starting price.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Q150 Review

Review: Lenovo's affordable nettop, the IdeaCentre Q150, delivers as a media player but lacks the power to perform more complex tasks.

iBuyPower Erebus Review

iBuyPower’s flagship Erebus Gaming PC delivers the bang if you’ve got the bucks. Ridiculous gaming performance outshines some minor design oddities.

Origin Genesis Review

The Origin Genesis achieves the outlandish overclocked performance of a DIY buuld with the quality, customer service and good looks of a professional build.

Falcon Northwest FragBox Review

Review: The Falcon Northwest FragBox caters to LAN-party lovers with a portable form factor and blazing performance, but blasts blazing heat, too.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z Review

Review: The Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z all-in-one desktop offers a practical down-to-business build, but last-generation hardware condemns it to poor performance for the price.

HP TouchSmart 610 Review

Review: The HP TouchSmart 610 reclines with a unique hinged design, making the brawny touchscreen all-in-one as versatile as it is powerful.

Falcon Northwest Mach V Review

Review: The Falcon Northwest Mach V combines top-shelf components with an innovative tilted design for a nearly unbeatable – if expensive – gaming rig.

Acer Aspire M3970 Review

The Acer M3970 desktop pleases with its solid design, plethora of ports, and quiet fans, but ultimately fails to impress with an underwhelming graphics card.

HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Review

The HP TouchSmart 520 offers a smart, touch-friendly design that would look at home in any living room, but gets expensive fast with upgrades.

Maingear Shift Super Stock X79 Review

We find out if Maingear's extreme configuration of the Shift, the Super Stock X79, can outdo its predecessor.

Alienware X51 Review

The Alienware X51 crunches the power of a full-size gaming rig into the size of a console, providing top-notch graphics in a living-room-friendly package.

Falcon Northwest Tiki Review

Falcon Northwest sets a new standard in high-end desktops with the small but surprisingly powerful Tiki.

Acer Aspire M3985 Review

Acer’s uninspired Aspire M3985 makes a pragmatic and affordable desktop, but benefits little from an upgrade to the latest Ivy Bridge processors.

Dell XPS One 27 Review

The premium Dell XPS One 27 all-in-one integrates a 27-inch LED-backlit display with 2560 x 1440 pixel native resolution, an Intel H77 chipset, and an Intel HD 4000 GPU.

Matthew S. Smith     August 23, 2019

Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 Review

The Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 may be even more stylish than competitors from Apple and Dell, but low-end hardware at a high-end price knocks it out of the competition.

HP SpectreOne Review

HP ditches the “Envy” moniker for the more exclusive “Spectre.” But does The HP SpectreOne All-in-One desktop deserve its elite status?

Samsung Series 3 Chromebox Review

The Samsung Chromebox Series 3 is a good machine. Good, but not great. And starting at $329, it’s a bit more expensive than any browser-based system should be.

Kwame Opam     August 23, 2019

Samsung Series 7 All in One Review

Samsung's $1,100 Series 7 all-in-one tries to balance affordability and functionality but uninspiring performance and display quality concerns take it down a peg.

Acer Aspire 7600U Review

Acer tries to break into an increasingly crowded market for premium all-in-one PCs with the thin and striking Aspire U. The system’s looks stand apart from the crowd, but it has to do more than look good if Acer wants to keep up with Dell’s XPS One and Lenovo’s A720.

Matthew S. Smith     August 23, 2019

Digital Storm Bolt Review

Digital Storms thinks it found a cure for the plague of yawn-worthy desktops with the Bolt, a tiny system that offers gaming power in a case that doesn’t look like a teenager’s drawing of an alien monolith. But can a pint-sized PC really pack a heavyweight’s punch?

Acer Predator AG3620-UR12 Review

Looking for an affordable gaming desktop? Acer might have what you need in its $1,300 Predator, a gaming system built with budget in mind. Can the Predator stalk larger prey, or is it too low on the food chain?

Matthew S. Smith     August 23, 2019

Acer AT3-600-UR11 Review

Acer’s new T3-600 is just another boring desktop tower. Or is it? Though sold at an affordable $600, this new system stands out from the crowd through its functional design, well-rounded performance, and easy upgradability.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Review

Touchscreen tables have appeared as concepts for years. Now, thanks to Lenovo, the idea has been transformed into a real consumer product. But pioneering technology is never cheap, and the Horizon’s value suffers as a result.

Falcon Northwest Fragbox 2013 Review

Haswell has arrived in an unexpectedly tiny package: the Falcon Northwest Fragbox. We put it to the test to see not only how Intel’s processors improve performance, but also to judge how their efficiency improves noise and power consumption.

Dell Alienware X51 (2013) Review

Alienware updated its tiny X51 computer/console hybrid with Intel’s 4th-gen processors, boosting performance while improving efficiency. Does the new hardware keep this unique system competitive with a growing list of competitors, or is it time for this alien to phone home?

Vizio CA24T 24-inch Touch All-in-One (AMD) Review

Vizio’s CA24T combines a 1080p display, subwoofer, and HDMI-in to create the ultimate entertainment all-in-one. These features make for a capable home entertainment system, but the system’s AMD processor has difficulty keeping pace with Intel’s finest.

HP Envy Rove 20 review

HP’s Envy Rove 20 is a new entry into the fledgling market of all-in-one/tablet hybrids. Like Dell’s XPS 18 and Sony’s Vaio Tap 20, it offers a massive touchscreen and a built-in battery; unlike those competitors, a well-equipped Rove starts at just $879. Does this make it a bargain, or does the system crumble under its own weight?

Acer Predator G3 (AG3-605-UR20) review

For years, Acer’s Predator line of gaming desktops has tried to grab the attention away from gaming’s veteran manufacturers – without much success. This time it’s trying to outdo the competition with the G3, a budget build that seeks to undercut competitors. Is this affordable rig worthy of gamers’ attention?

Matthew S. Smith     August 23, 2019

Dell XPS 8700 Special Edition review

With a powerful 4th-gen CPU and a slew of other good components, Dell’s XPS 8700 Special Edition is a fine do-it-all PC for students or a family.

Dell XPS 27 Touch review

Dell’s updated XP2 27 Touch is the best Windows all-in-one on the market, with a stunning screen and a nice set of new components. It’s also the strongest iMac competitor we’ve seen yet.

Asus M51AC-US016S review

Asus’ new M51 servers up a buffet of connectivity and upgradability, along with well-rounded performance, for just $700. But can this versatile desktop do it all?

Acer Aspire Z3-605 review

Simple, inexpensive, and affordable, the Acer Aspire Z3 AiO boasts a beautiful display, plenty of storage and good connectivity, but performance issues prevent it from reaching its full potential.

Origin Millennium (2013) review

Intel has finally released a successor to the pair of ridiculously powerful six-core processors that debuted two years ago, and Origin has wasted no time stuffing the new king of compute power in a gaming PC. But are six cores needed for gaming, or is the Millennium the ultimate in overkill?

Dell Inspiron One 23 review

The revised Dell Inspiron 23 is here, and unlike its predecessor, it attempts to walk the line between the premium XPS One 27 and cheaper, slower alternatives. While this may seem simple, it’s a difficult balance, and the system’s $999 starting price pushes the limits of what consumers find affordable. Is this new Inspiron a value wonder, or just another mundane mid-range PC?

Matthew S. Smith     August 23, 2019

Minix Neo X7 review

Looking for a super-cheap PC just to play videos and browse? The Neo X7 costs just $150, but awkward mouse and keyboard controls keep it from reaching its full potential.

Gateway DX 4885-UB3A review

The Gateway DX4885-UB3A is one of the least expensive tower desktops on the market, starting at $400 and selling for no more than $599 at the high end. Despite this, the system can be had with the latest Intel 4th-gen processors, which seems like a great deal. But does quirky design kill the value?

Lenovo IdeaCentre Flex 20 review

We take a look at Lenovo's Flex 20, a portable all-in-one to see if they've finally cracked the portable desktop code.
