Iolo System Mechanic 9 review A useful, if slightly expensive, all-round tool for keeping your system in check.

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium review Everything that Vista should have been - if you're building a new PC, Windows 7 is an essential purchase.

Asus K70IO review The smart K70IO is great value, with a large, bright screen and a reasonably powerful graphics chipset.

ViewSonic VNB101 review A smart, well-built netbook with a great screen and comfortable keyboard. It's just a shame that its battery life isn't longer.

ViewSonic VPC100 review A stylish-looking all-in-one nettop, but there are better-value models available.

Sony Vaio W11S1E/T review Gorgeous styling and a detailed widescreen display, but battery life is poor and the keyboard is frustrating to type on.

Asus T91 review A touchscreen and small size and weight make the T91 an interesting netbook, but average battery life and a cramped keyboard let it down.

RL Supplies Modula 9060I-OC review Tops the group for 3D performance, but the mediocre, low-resolution 19in monitor means you can't use the graphics card to its full potential.

Novatech Realm Pro review Despite good 3D performance, the relatively slow processor and poor monitor mean the Realm Pro is overshadowed by other PCs here.

Mesh Matrix II TT review With a powerful processor, fast graphics and a decent 20in monitor, the Matrix II TT is a great all-round PC.

HP Pavilion Slimline s5108uk-p review The small, quiet HP Pavilion is fine for undemanding users, but it can't handle games, and you pay a premium for the compact design.

Dell Inspiron 545/8707 review If you're not into gaming, the Inspiron 545/8707's quiet nature may appeal, but there are better deals available.

Arbico QC 8400 Pro review With a super-fast processor but a budget graphics card, the QC 8400 Pro is a little unbalanced.
