Its configurations start as low as $699, but our $1,329 review unit is a solid upper-midrange performance desktop that will play games and handle more demanding digital media tasks with little difficulty.

- A British look at global warming denial
- Need to use facts and make them real, not tenuous 'proofs'A lot of the debate seems to be centred around personalities and their need for acknowledgement of 'their' ideas.'I know because I am a scientist' means nothing, because to most, 'science' is just opinion, like history.

- Apple iMac 27-inch
- If we could, we'd take points away from this iMac simply because by giving it a 27-inch display Apple threatens our livelihood. You don't need our input to simply walk past the 27-inch iMac on a store shelf and recognize that it's the largest all-in-one currently available, and that it...

- Averatec D1133 All-In-One
- Does a certain price make a nonmobile computer a Nettop? How about a particular CPU or case design? The Averatec D1133 All-In-One blurs the lines.
