  • HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx

    HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx

    The HP Pavilion dv7-3065dx is a low-cost, big-screen laptop that will win you over with its Blu-ray player and pleasing design. It may lose you, however, when you hear its speakers.

  • Gateway DX4300-11

    Gateway DX4300-11

    We're fond of the Gateway DX4300-11's clever design, but halfhearted performance scores mar its overall worth. The TV tuner and 1TB hard drive may tempt you to stick it in your living room as a media center PC, but your money is better spent on the Asus Essentio CG5270-BP004.

  • Maingear Shift

    Maingear Shift

    Maingear's Shift is the boutique vendor's new flagship gaming PC. It brings almost everything we expect to find in such a system, from expert craftsmanship to fast overclocking to a case that makes a statement. We found a few minor sticking points, but, on the whole, this PC sits comfortably alongside the top tier of luxury gaming boxes, and we recommend it if you have the means.

  • Sony Vaio FW560F/T (brown)

    Sony Vaio FW560F/T (brown)

    With Blu-ray playback, a large screen and decent discrete graphics, the Sony Vaio FW560F/T is a very compelling sub-$1,000 multimedia notebook.

  • HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx

    HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx

    As long as you're not looking for extremely long battery life, the HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx is a well-rounded mainstream budget laptop with above average looks and performance.

  • Sony VAIO VGN-NW270F/S

    Sony VAIO VGN-NW270F/S

    The Sony Vaio VGN-NW270F/S is a low-cost, Blu-ray-equipped laptop that makes a great choice for home use and, should you be willing to tote around a 15-inch machine, a decent choice as your everyday, take-it-with-you laptop.

  • Asus Essentio CG5270-BP004

    Asus Essentio CG5270-BP004

    Massive case notwithstanding, the affordable Asus Essentio CG5270-BP004 delivers a competitive feature set with the horsepower to back it up. We recommend this system for light media editors and anyone who can make use of its straightforward performance and multipurpose features.

  • Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970

    Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970

    The Toshiba Satellite U505-S2870 is rather tank-like for a 13.3-inch thin-and-light. We'd be more willing to tote it around if its heavy-armor feel extended to the flimsy keyboard.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1375dx

    HP Pavilion dv6-1375dx

    You can find a better-designed, longer-running, Blu-ray equipped 15.6-inch for less than the HP Pavilion dv6-1375dx.

  • HP Pavilion P6230y

    HP Pavilion P6230y

    The HP Pavilion P6230y yields decent scores, but we have a hard time recommending a system that comes at a higher cost and a slower performance rating over competing systems. This system has a few uncommon features for its price, but nothing that makes up for its overall poor bang-for-the-buck.

  • Dell Inspiron i1470-3282CRD

    Dell Inspiron i1470-3282CRD

    With an ultra-low-voltage CPU, the Dell Inspiron 1470-3282 runs longer but slower than competing laptops. We're not thrilled with the performance hit, but we still found lots to like about this well-designed, 14-inch laptop.

  • HP Pavilion dv4-1555dx

    HP Pavilion dv4-1555dx

    As a midsize entertainment laptop, the 14-inch HP Pavilion dv4-1555dx hits some right notes, but its poor battery life sours the deal.

  • Gateway One ZX4800-02

    Gateway One ZX4800-02

    Gateway's affordable One ZX4800-02 all-in-one isn't the most feature-rich desktop at this price, but it's fast and capable enough that it will handle most basic consumer tasks with aplomb. Don't get too excited about its touch screen, but there's enough to like about this system that we can recommend it as an everyday PC.

  • Gateway DX4822-01

    Gateway DX4822-01

    The Gateway DX-4822-01 makes a convincing pitch with the performance numbers and features to earn its place in your home, but if you're not tied to the midtower design, the older Gateway SX2800-01 offers faster speeds and the option to set it up as a media center PC.

  • Asus Essentio CM5570-AP003

    Asus Essentio CM5570-AP003

    At a glance, the Asus Essentio CM5570-AP003 offers adequate performance compared to other midtower budget desktops, but an older Gateway outshines Asus with faster performance and more versatility for a little more, leaving us unenthusiastic about this system.

  • Asus K60IJ-RBLX05

    Asus K60IJ-RBLX05

    Although the Asus K60IJ-RBLX05 is an affordable 16-inch budget laptop, it's missing the processing punch and features that can be had for just a little more money.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (brown)

    Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (brown)

    The Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F is a well designed mainstream notebook with respectable performance and features for the money.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (white)

    Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (white)

    The Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F is a well designed mainstream notebook with respectable performance and features for the money.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (silver)

    Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (silver)

    The Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F is a well designed mainstream notebook with respectable performance and features for the money.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (black)

    Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F (black)

    The Sony Vaio VGN-NW240F is a well designed mainstream notebook with respectable performance and features for the money.
