Dell XPS 18 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
The Dell XPS 18 is a portable all-in-one desktop PC. Larger than a tablet or laptop, but smaller than a full blown all-in-one desktop, the Dell XPS 18 lets you bring a full Windows 8 PC around the house or office corridors with you. It mostly works, though the market for such a product is still in its beginning stages."

Sapphire Edge VS8 Review: The $500 Mini PC
|
|
While full-sized desktop computers are still around, tablets and smartphones have proven that technology has come far enough to essentially cram a fully capable computer into a space that is suitable for your pants pocket, a purse, or a small backpack. This idea of shrinking hardware hasn’t been overlooked by manufacturers as several now feature space-saving designs based on mobile hardware.
Such is the case with Sapphire’s new Edge VS8 mini-PC powered by AMD’s A8 APU. The system is hardly any larger than an external optical drive, while still packing 4GB of DDR3 memory, Radeon HD 7600G graphics, a 500GB SATA HDD, built-in support for Bluetooth 3.0 as well as 802.11 b/g/n wireless and a bevy of rear I/O connections.

ZOTAC ZBOX ID89 Plus Mini-PC Review
|
|
"The ZOTAC ZBOX ID89 Plus contains the usual selection of 2.5" hard drive, wireless-n wi-fi and the like but manages to include support for dual channel memory and arrives kitted out with a Core i5 CPU. All in a chassis not much bigger than most external drive enclosures."

News: The PC is boomingjust not the PC we know
|
|
PC shipments suffered their greatest decline ever last quarter, in spite of Windows 8 and all those tablet-notebook hybrids. Some say there`s no hope, but I disagree. Because the PC is boomingjust not the PC we know."

Gateway DX4870-UB17 Review @ TechReviewSource.com
|
|
The Gateway DX4870-UB17 is the latest budget desktop we`ve seen from the company with the cow print on its logo. It`s a fine replacement for the six-year-old PC you`re thinking about replacing, particularly if you have no need for a touch-enabled all-in-one PC or want to continue to use the LCD monitor you bought a few years ago."

Acer Aspire V5-571P Review - XSReviews
|
|
So earlier on XSReviews we took a look at the Acer Aspire S7, an 11.6? or 13? Ultrabook with a super svelte design and powerful hardware but dogged with persistently poor battery life. Today, we`re taking a look at what Acer is doing at a more affordable range of the spectrum with the Acer Aspire V5-571P. There are a few different configurations available here, but we`ll be taking a look at the model equipped with a Core i5 processor, a 500 GB mechanical hard drive, 6 GB of RAM and a touch screen. That puts it on the upper end of configurations available, but reflections upon other aspect should be shared between models. Right, let`s get into it, starting with a more detailed look at the specifications available. There`s nothing too out of the ordinary here, so if you`re pressed for time it can make sense to skip over to the unboxing or physical features. A link to the article would be much appreciated."

Dell XPS One 27 Review: affordable large screen all-in-one
|
|
If you want an all-in-one with a large, beautiful IPS display with a nice resolution of 2560x1440, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg? Then there isn't a whole lot of choice. Apple has the 27-inch iMac, and HP has the even more expensive Z1 workstation, but now Dell has entered the fray with the more affordable XPS 27, also called the XPS 2710. And it's an excellent all-in-one. The beautiful 27-inch IPS display has outstanding colors, and the high 2560x1440 resolution makes it a great computer to work with.

Diamond BizView 750 @ LanOC Reviews
|
|
When it comes to options for upgrading some of todays small PCs from manufacturers like Dell to be able to handle even the most basic games can sometimes be difficult. Its one thing if your pc supports a full height video card, but if you need half height the options are limited. That problem is multiplied when you also have to consider how much power the power supply has, generally PCs like this dont have 6 pin connections free and sometimes not even Molex plugs. That is where products like the Diamond BizView 750 come in. The BizView is focused on business use, but with it being an HD 7750 it could also be perfect for light gaming as well."

GUNNAR Vinyl Onyx Review @ Vortez
|
|
In the world of computing today, there are many companies and brands which provide a multitude of products. Ranging from the budget conscientious to the high end enthusiast, there is massive selection of products available on the market. Whether you`re a general computer user or a professional gamer, computer screens and other digital devices can cause a condition called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) which causes a variety of symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, eye strain and difficulty in refocusing your eyes. With many brands providing healthier solutions to use your PC including products such as padded mouse mats and keyboard wrist rests to combat Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, one company in particular has dedicated themselves to reducing the effects of CVS on our eyes."

[DreamWare Computers] SilverStone PP06 Individually Sleeved PSU Cables
|
|
One of the unique design traits to SilverStone`s modular power supplies is that they`re fully modular. Where as most manufacturers will hard wire the mandatory cables, usually the motherboard, EPS/ATX and one PCIE connector, SilverStone has opted to make even those cables removable. Their reasoning behind this design choice is well justified though; they have a variety of after market cable options that can do everything from giving you short cables for small form factor cases, or premium looking cables for enthusiasts with windowed cases. Today I have the PP06 cables here which have each individual wire (not wire strand, but wire) sleeved in a premium quality material mesh sleeving. The PP06 cables look great at first glance and are bound to add some flashy looks to your case, so let`s check them out!"

AVADirect Mini Gaming PC: Titan in a Small Package
|
|
Building a small form factor gaming PC is a tricky business. For one thing, there simply isn't enough room to fit as many components as you would put in a mid- or full-size gaming PC. Multiple graphics cards aren't likely, and oversized power supplies (not to mention CPU heatsinks) usually present major challenges. The other issue is the heat: with space at a premium, good airflow becomes even more important, but all the harder to preserve. And don't expect your customers to give you leeway on performance, looks, or (and this might be the toughest target of all) noise.
But it's not a lost cause, especially with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan delivering so much power (and whisper-quiet cooling) in a single card. AVADirect thinks it has threaded the needle with its latest Mini Gaming PC, built around NVIDIA's latest powerhouse.

Maingear Potenza Super Stock Review: Cool and Quiet
|
|
There's a lot to love about a mini-ITX gaming PC. Portability is a big draw, of course: carrying your computer through the parking lot to a LAN party is much easier if it happens to be an SFF system. Reclaiming desk space is another reason to go small. And some of us just take a lot of pleasure in knowing that our tiny, unassuming PC will drop a few jaws when it's game time.
With an Intel Core i7 3770 and an MSI GeForce GTX 660 at its heart, Maingear's mini-ITX Potenza only looks mild-mannered. In fact, Maingear offers the system with up to a Core i7-3770K and a GTX Titan, but Maingear sent us a slightly tamer unit to show what it can do in the $1600 range...

Apple iMac 27 inch 2012 review
|
|
This version of the 27-inch iMac is a very fast system, and it still of course has the outstanding 27-inch 2560x1440 display. We loved how the Fusion Drive works in MacOS X. It strikes the perfect balance between having a fast SSD and lots of storage, and it automatically prioritizes which applications and data are stored where.
