Dell and Gateway both launched new Core i7-based systems today, coinciding with Intel's launch of its new microarchitecture. Dell brings two systems to the game, with the Studio XPS for content creation professionals and the XPS 730x for gamers with some money to spend. Gateway goes directly after the budget gamer market with the FX6800-01, a capable system at an affordable price.
Alienware has always had a reputation for catering to the enthusiast end of the PC market. They try to differentiate themselves from other computer manufacturers by offering high-end components and unique aesthetics -- when you buy an Alienware desktop, you know it's an Alienware desktop. With futuristic case designs, extravagant lighting systems and the omnipresent alien head logo, its hard to mistake it for anything else. At the same time, engineering a system like that can carry a pretty hefty price tag. Is Alienware's Area-51 790i more than just a pretty face? Read on for our full review.
Dell has made an effort in recent months to really turn around their product offerings with regards to style and design. No doubt due to the redoubling sales of Apple computers, computer manufacturers are finally making an effort to court the style-conscious consumer, and we should all be thankful. The Dell Studio Slim is a compact, thin desktop with aspirations of a home theater bent. With a quad core processor, hybrid TV tuner, 64-bit operating system and its sleek design, we'll look at this new offering from Dell and tell you whether it deserves a prized place next to the rest of your equipment.

During this series we've gone through most of what I would deem the fun stuff (shopping) and the slightly more difficult stuff (assembly). Now we're at the last leg and mercifully, it's a fairly easy one. Hopefully up to now you've been paying close attention to my recommendations, because this is the point where they may pay dividends. I'm going to show you how to install Windows Vista and, more specifically, help you understand what drivers are and why you need them.
While Dell has had an all-in-one desktop model in the form of the XPS One available for almost a year, it's starting to look a little bit dated when compared to the sleek new desktops released by other manufacturers. That situation has been rectified as Dell just released their sleek new 24" XPS One 24.
While most people look at HP and think of their consumer Pavilion (and now Compaq) lines, this area only constitutes one part of their overall business strategy. Now the number one computer manufacturer worldwide, HP offers product lines that span just about any spectrum you can name. The HP Compaq dc5850 falls in the business line of products and while, at its core, it's a basic business desktop, HP has managed to add in features that make their machines stand out. Read on for our full review.
Dell released four new OptiPlex desktops today in the form of the OptiPlex 360, 760, 960 and FX160. Ranging in starting price from $399 to $863, these computers are aimed at commercial desktop installations. The FX160 is Dell's first foray into the thin client segment, aimed at taking advantage of the recent uptick in virtualization technologies.
HP released today new consumer desktops aimed at consumers looking for style and performance -- while still staying on the greener side of life. Among the announcements were the Phoenix and Verde desktops with artistic-inspired stylings and a new 25.5" display.
No matter how much a Desktop PC case changes over the years, it seems like theres always one thing you can rely on: the 5.25 expansion bay. Whether youre talking about a full-sized ATX desktop case, a minitower desktop, or even a small Home Theater PC (HTPC) youll find at least one 5.25 bay in every desktop case on the market. Sure, most people use these bays for DVD or Blu-ray optical drives, but what else can you do with all this space? The answers might surprise you.
Gateway took the wraps off of two new desktop lines today, the FX series targeted toward PC gamers and the LX series, targeted toward computer users who frequently work with digital media. For once, it looks like a press release is living up to expectations as the FX6710, the new FX flagship system, sounds like a very good deal indeed.
While Apple's event today was heavily focused on the notebook side of their product line, they did take the wraps off a new display. The 24" Apple Cinema Display sits neatly between the 23" and 30" models. Offering an LED backlighting system for the first time, the new Apple display brings a number of updates to the line, though unfortunately it looks as if Apple is intending this display for use with notebooks only at this point in timeOCZ Platinum 4GB-$65 after MIR
