- Netgear Digital Entertainer Live
- The first few rounds of network media streamers we tested weren't necessarily recommendable. Sure, this was partially because most of these devices depend on Windows Media Center for connectivity and content, but we also had issues with their interfaces and performance.

- While companies like Dell and Lenovo are trying to enter the home theater PC market at the low end, with unassuming processors and nary a Blu-ray drive to brag about, Okoro is heading in the opposite direction with its new OMS-BX300 "Blu-ray Digital Entertainment System."

- Declaring the eMachines EZ1601-01 the best all-in-one Nettop we've seen is kind of like saying swine flu is our favorite vaccination-resistant virus.

- Despite our preference for a more purpose-built computer, we actually have a fair opinion of this $1,579 Dell Studio XPS 435 build. It's fast, attractive, and comes with a Blu-ray drive and a reasonably capable graphics card. You could plunk this system in a dorm room or a home office...

For 2009, the company has introduced just two new products to the category: the $500 HT-S5200 and the $350 HT-S3200 reviewed here.
