When we opened the box for the Dream PC from Pioneer, we though there must have been some kind of mistake. Coming in a form factor reminiscent of external hard disk units, the Dream PC packs an entire P4 system in a surprisingly small space, and at 3kg, it weighs less than some notebooks.

An impressive touchscreen all-in-one PC for an equally impressive price, but the single-core Atom holds it back

Fantastic looks but a high price for what is, essentially, the same old netbook under the hood.

In what is an interesting first time foray into the crowded PDA market, Acer is hedging its bets by releasing both Palm- and Pocket PC-based PDAs. It's a curious gambit to be sure, and we're content to see which PDA branch blossoms while the other withers.

Back in November we wondered just what you could buy for $1500 and Modtech and PC Express showed us two near identical systems (the latter being A-Listed). This month’s submission from PC Market offered few surprises.

A cool, quiet and capable mini-PC that should agree with your budget.

Acer is hedging its bets by releasing both Palm and Pocket PC-based PDAs

The Toshiba e740 Pocket PC is the third PDA from Toshiba released in the past year, and is targeted at the business user. This does not mean its a bland PDA, as it is the fastest on the market thanks to its 400MHz Intel Xscale processor.

Dual-core and Windows Vista make it into our A-List’s Value PC category.

AM2 power at this price is a boon. But 3D performance is average and it’s very noisy.

Whisper quiet, well built and well designed, but a lack of power and expandability will keep enthusiasts away.

A powerful and well-equipped touchscreen PC, but is Dell's all-in-one really the future of the home desktop? Read our full review

HP’s latest PC blends power, useful business features and a keen eye for detail

It’s expensive, but Baddog’s Lanbox comes with personality and outstanding support.

A teaser of a great workhorse PC, we just hope Asus can get the price down on release.

A big brash, powerful pc with loads of features and a giant screen. It’s a good thing, because the orange case distracts from the DDR5’s true purpose: performance.

A fast, quiet, good-looking PC that's great value.

Lacking in some areas, but punches above its weight where it counts.

Dual-core and FireWire may be missing, but Pacstar’s system offer’s more than we expected from a value PC.

Purely because of its size, even the smallest PDA isn’t something you’re likely to feel comfortable holding to your ear as a phone for long periods of time. And, despite its slim curves and great physique, the Xda II is no exception.
