Despite being overshadowed by the popularity of netbooks, nettop PCs like Acer's Aspire Revo R3600 may offer a lot more incentives for home entertainment.

But the real key to the Revo's viability is that it doesn't lean on the dual-core Intel Atom 330 processor, instead making good use of nVidia's ION platform to leverage the GeForce 9400M graphics chip. So, while the specs may make the Revo look no ...

Better than a budget all-in-one, but not quite high-end either, the Studio One 19 could be a good fit if your needs are somewhere in the middle.

As mentioned, the Studio One configuration we tested (US$944, as of July 2, 2009) performed impressively, claiming a mark of 93 in our WorldBench 6 testing suite. Its 2.5GHz Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 processor, 4GB of DDR-2800 memory, and ...

The AE1900 all-in-one desktop provides the netbook-like performance you'd expect at this price, but sweetens the deal with a large touchscreen.

The Wind Top AE1900's general performance--it managed a mark of 39 on our WorldBench 6 test suite--is right on a par with that of its close all-in-one competitors; though the Asus and Shuttle surpassed it with a result of 41, in practical terms there ...

This all-in-one's 18.4-inch display may not have touch capability, but its 1680 by 945 resolution is sharper than that of its main MSI rival.

, for instance, achieved an impressive WorldBench 6 score of 93. Unsurprisingly, the Averatec's integrated Intel GMA950 graphics weren't able to complete any of our 3D gaming benchmarks, even at 1024 by 768 resolution

The ET1602 was among the first low-cost touchscreen all-in-ones, but it now feels overpriced compared to newer competition.

But Asus hopes that its software bundle will set the Eee Top apart. Beyond a large-icon program launcher (now expected on all touch-enabled PCs), Asus throws in a handful of touch-friendly programs, including some games, the Eee Cinema media viewer, ...

Despite its upgradable RAM, it's hard to recommend the X50 when cheaper rivals offer larger screens and built-in DVD drives.

A single, 1GB stick of DDR2 memory is all the RAM you get, though we give the X50 points for supporting an upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (its only upgrade option). The system also holds the expected 160GB hard disk, in this case a Western Digital ...

A lush display, unmatched upgradability, and extras such as an HDTV tuner, a four-in-one remote, and a 2-megapixel Webcam make the A600 all-in-one hard to resist.

The Lenovo's 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 processor has one of the slower clock speeds for all-in-ones larger than 20 inches. Surprisingly, that doesn't have as big of an impact on overall performance as you would think when comparing it with, say, ...

Slick unit has a giant 25.5-inch display and doubles as an HDTV, but its performance is starting to slip against new rivals.

and Apple's 24-inch iMac

A vibrant multitouch display and excellent general performance make the IQ500t a competitive all-in-one option.

Even with a faster processor than the A600, the TouchSmart IQ500t returned identical scores in our WorldBench 6 test suite. The graphics of the two machines ran neck-and-neck as well

This top-performing all-in-one runs Windows and OS X, but lacks built-in extras such as a touchscreen, a Blu-ray drive, a media card reader, and a TV tuner.

Apple offers four standard configurations of the iMac: three 24-inch models (1920 by 1200 resolution), and a 20-inch iMac (1680 by 1050 resolution). We tested the high-end 24-inch iMac using Boot Camp and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. Though ...
