Is this the world's ultimate gaming PC? You could probably argue either way, but we're pretty sure it's the world's ultimate entertainment machine. Pound for pound, you'll be hard pressed to find a desktop tower with more fun-per-square-inch than on Origin PC's new "Big O." This mammoth machine is unlike anything we...

There's no question that few people will ever buy one of these, but just because it's a niche product line doesn't mean that we can't smile about it. Those who have been following consumer electronics for decades now may remember Commodore USA, mostly from the video game sector. But now, Commodore is coming back in a big way. In one week,...

Lenovo has been making a push in touch-enabled products as of late. A few months back, we tested one of the company's first touchscreen-enabled ThinkPad notebooks (and an IdeaPad, for that matter). Regardless, the company isn't exactly a household name when it comes to touch-enabled products, but with Windows 7's built in touch capabilities,...

Lenovo has been making a push in touch-enabled products as of late. A few months back, we actually tested one of the company's first touchscreen-enabled ThinkPad notebooks (and an IdeaPad, for that matter).

It's about time! USB 3.0 is clearly the future of USB. This isn't like the HD DVD / Blu-ray war, where there was actually a battle to be fought before consumers knew which would be moving forward. With USB, we know that 3.0 is the future, but so few machines support it. Even higher-end machines, like the new iMac, MacBook Pro, Dell, HP and...

MSI has been on a roll lately with a near-endless amount of notebooks hitting the market, but the company has clearly taken a turn for the desktop world with their latest release. The Wind Top AE2280 is one of the more fully-featured all in one PCs coming out with now, with a Full HD (1080p) LCD, support for 3D gaming, a multi-touch screen,...

Lenovo's famous for their notebooks, but those guys also sell desktops. The ThinkCentre line has been around (and thriving) for some time now, mostly within businesses and enterprises. But the company's newest two machines could easily work in a consumer setup. As with Lenovo's ThinkPad line, these new desktops aren't much to look at. But...

It's not easy out there for pre-fab PC makers. You're competing against giants like Dell, HP and Lenovo, and you're trying to sway consumers to purchase your brand even though you aren't running TV ads every half-hour. But when you look at a company like Alienware, you know it's still possible to hold an edge if you carve out your own niche....

The new 2010 iMac may be the most consumer-centric piece of Apple's July 2010 hardware refresh, but for power users it's the Mac Pro that'll get the attention. Apple's heavyweight has been refreshed this morning, but as with the iMac, no real major exterior changes are happening. Instead, it's all in the inside. Intel...

Now here's an idea. In order to draw more attention to your gear, just bundle an iPad with it! In seriousness, this actually isn't a bad plan, particularly when the company in question is Okoro Media Systems and the product is an HTPC. HTPC control is a huge issue; do you use your keyboard and mouse from the couch? Do you attempt to program...

Acer's notebook collection has been growing furiously over the past few months, and with demands shifting from desktops to more mobile form factors, that's really no surprise. But the desktop isn't dead yet, particularly in the gaming sector. For hardcore gamers, there's really no substitute for a desktop GPU, desktop...

eMachines still makes PCs? Oh, yes, they definitely do. It may not be a brand that you're incredibly familiar with, but the company is putting it on thick with the introduction of their newest machine. It's a small form factor PC with lots of great hardware and an even greater price, and this may be the machine to get if you're looking for...

Look at HP, growing up on us so fast. Buying up other companies at will, toting around the "world's largest PC seller" crown, and now introducing their very first enterprise class all-in-one PC. Believe it or not, we aren't kidding: the HP Compaq 6000 Pro really is the company's first all-in-one PC to go enterprise...

Menacing? Oh yes. Mean? Definitely. Powerful? You bet. Digital Storm is an up and coming pre-fab PC builder, and in order to go toe-to-toe with the big guys at Dell, Alienware and HP, they've got to offer cutting edge hardware at a great price. And offering that in a PC enclosure that looks like this doesn't hurt...

Well, this is interesting. On the same day that Apple saw their servers completely overloaded by people trying to pre-order the iPhone 4, the company also introduced a new computer. One that you can't order because of all those people crashing the iPhone servers. The Mac Mini has been around for years, and it has looked largely the same forever....

Chrome OS remains a mystery. It's Google's first desktop operating system, but even today, it's nothing more than words on pages as far as consumers are concerned. We're sure there's internal testing going on as the company prepared to launch the OS onto netbooks in the near future, and now we're seeing even more details to hopefully prove...

Hey, the iMac can't have all of the fun in the all-in-one PC sector, right? Sony is introducing a new AIO machine today that's touch-enabled, which seems to be the norm these days. In fact we're kind of shocked that 3D support isn't thrown in as well. The VAIO J is the company's latest desktop, aimed at bargain users who don't need a whole...

It's not too often that we hear about Intel releasing new "unlocked" CPUs, which is what makes the release of the newest Core i5 and Core i7 processors so incredible. For gamers who weren't able to spring for the ultra-expensive Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, the new K series is a great alternative. Already offered on...

iBuyPower is back at it again, delivering the latest and greatest from ATI, NVIDIA, Intel and AMD just as soon as it becomes available for public consumption. It's tough out there competing with Dell, HP, Asus and Acer, so this company keeps their edge by being first out of the gate with newer technologies. Like an...

MSI has been producing all-in-one desktops for awhile now, including a few models with full 1080p touch panels. But with 3D seemingly taking over the world, the company needed to make a move in that direction in order to stay on the bandwagon. Today, the world's first multi-touch 24" Full HD 3D all-in-one PC is being introduced, with the Wind...

iPads and other tablets may be hindering the growth of the netbook market, but the HTPC market may be hurting even more. Users have gravitated towards online TV or other movie set-top boxes from Roku and the like (not to mention the media capabilities of the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii), leaving only a few pre-fabricated HTPC builders on the market....

Calling it the "iMac effect" just feels wrong, but there's no question that Gateway got their inspiration for this one from…well, somewhere. Regardless, the company's two newest all-in-one PC families are both sleek and beautiful, with one of them even being potent enough to be called powerful. These are being introduced at a time when...
