iMasc is pretty much the only all-in-one desktop that springs to most people’s minds but it is far from being the only one on the market.

Netbooks are getting most of the hype but nettops are still somehow trying to win people’s hearts over traditional desktop and htpc computers. ASUS EeeBox EB1501 nettop just might be the one for the job. It is small and stylish and packs a dual core Intel Atom 330 at 1.6Ghz which isn’t exactly a speed demon but thanks to nVidia’s ION platform and graphics it is able to play pretty much any video you throw at it. Read on the full review at DesktopReview to find out how it performed.

Rory Reid at Cnet posted a review on the freshly baked Apple Mac Mini unibody desktop. His verdict was that the new Apple Mac mini really is a great looking computer thanks to Apple’s unibody aluminium design. But it’s not just a looker as it’s hardware got upgraded as well with most attention to graphics that come in courtesy of nVidia GeForce 320M. The only downside really is what all Apple products share – the price but then again what is the price of your friends’ faces when they will see you with one.

Samsung proved that can make excellent notebooks such as the Samsung R780 notebook but what kind of all-in-one desktop PCs could it produce. No need to ask yourself that question as Ardjuna Seghers at TrustedReviews just posted the review on the Samsung U200 20 inch All-in-one Desktop PC. He was overall satisfied with the Samsung U200 except with during these times the most important aspect – the price. He felt that competitors offer a lot more for a lot less money.

Dell has slowly been phasing out the gaming XPS desktop and notebook lines since it bought Alienware so it was surprising to see a new XPS desktop launched. Dell Studio XPS 7100 Gaming Desktop PC features a six-core AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor running at  2.8GHz and a 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics. It may not be a benchmark topper but it definitely packs enough power to satisfyingly runs any game you throw at it. Read the full review at DesktopReview.

We loved nVidia ION’s performance but not so much with battery life that it offered compared to Intel’s netbook platform. Next generation ION2 platform aims to set things right with featuring nVidia Optimus technology to offer performance when needed using nVidia’s graphic chip and battery life by using Intel’s integrated graphics. But unfortunately Intel’s GMA 3150 is not compatible with nVidia Optimus technology so we will have to wait for next generation of Intel’s platform to see best of both worlds.

We haven’t posted much about Apple iPad as we prefer to post facts then rumors and expectations so luckily Cnet just posted a review. Donald Bell was the lucky to test it and concluded that there’s nothing specific to justify spending hundreds of pounds for an Apple iPad except maybe to purchase one only to be able play around with the most talked about gadget of this year.

Normally we don’t post reviews of printers as we don’t find them exciting enough but when you see a laser printer for under £90 and looks that cool as the Dell 1130 Mono Laser Printer you have to feel at least a bit of excitement. Simon Williams at TrustedReviews tested this neat printer and concluded that Dell 1130 is a worthwhile mono laser printer as it is quick, produces good quality printouts and is very compact so it will not take up much space on your desk.
