inferior display

MSI Wind Top AE2220 Desktop Computer Review - PCWorld:PCWorld

Significant upgrades over its predecessor are hobbled by the MSI Wind Top AE2220's shoddy picture.

Slightly Below Average Performance.

MSI Wind Top AE2220-25SUS 21.5" All-In-One Desktop PC:About.com

Jan 11 2010 - For those who want a home theater setup in an affordable desktop package, MSI's Wind Top AE2220-25SUS offers a very compelling price and set of features. With a Blu-ray drive, HDTV tuner, 1920x1080 resolution display and a HDMI input, it has just about everything one might want. All of these features come at a price point well below the competition. The drawback is that the system lacks the performance of competition, a smaller display and is not really capable of 3D gaming be...

otherwise amazing MSI Wind Top AE2220 system

MSI Wind Top AE2220 review:pcadvisor

It's nice to see MSI upping storage capacity to a total of 500GB, from the MSI Wind Top AE2220's 320GB. Both the included mice and the keyboard are wireless, which is a nice, if unexpected, touch for an all-in-one system. *

MSI Wind Top AE2220 review:Techworld.com

acceptable performance

Review MSI Wind Top AE2220 All in One Touch PC:NOTEBOOKCHECK

With the Full-HD Bright-View display the 21.5-incher is suitable for DVDs or 1080p-films streamed from the hard drive. We were able to complete all of the benchmarks without the use of the supplied keyboard. Their sound is well-balanced and has solid bass on offer. *

solid business performance

Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p:desktopreview.com

The computer itself is grey and black, and designed for maximum efficiency over pretty much everything else. The ThinkCentre M58p is pretty attractive in that respect; despite its high performance processor, it doesn't cost all that much to run. The handle makes it very easy to move around, and the screwless design means that technicians don't need to carry around a toolkit just to swap out a hard drive. *

Good performance

Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p Small Form Factor PC:PCWorld Australia

The configuration of the Lenovo ThinkCentre M58p PC is solid, and it produced good results in our tests. It's a solid little unit that sits flat on a desk, and a monitor can be placed on top of it. *

viable, HD-capable home entertainment system

Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 3011 (Core 2 Duo T6400 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, ATI Mobiility Radeon HD 3650, Vista Home Premium 64-Bit):CNet

We were happy to find a manual that documents how to access the internals of the system in order to replace the hard drive, the memory, and the optical drive. *

above-average graphics scores

Lenovo Ideacentre A600 Desktop Review - PC World:PCWorld

The display is otherwise strong: It delivers powerful saturation and pretty good contrast levels for gaming and Blu-ray movie watching (a built-in Blu-ray player is a common feature for all-in-ones with screens of this size). Excellent display. Superior upgradability. *

more powerful graphics

Lenovo IdeaCentre A600:Stuff.tv

Great looking all-in-one with a forward-thinking remote, but could be let down by its basic starting specs

solid performance

HP Compaq dc7900 Desktop Review - PC World:PCWorld

The dc7900 is a powerhouse machine that comes saddled with a number of caveats.

You will be able to enjoy the high-performance capabilities of this Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.

good graphics performance

really good SYSmark 2007 Preview Overall score

Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p eco:PCMAG

The ThinkCentre M57p is a green corporate PC with power saving and powerful computing.

superb reliability and strong three year warranty

Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p Desktop Personal Computer:About.com

Lenovo's ThinkCentre M57p is really a hard item to place in the PC world. The system is great for those looking for a general purpose business platform. Much of this is thanks to Lenovo's excellent warranty and strong support. The problem is that for the cost the consumer ends up with much less PC than what is available from other companies.

Powerful processor

Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p:ProductWiki

Poor onboard
graphics (worst of the worst). Lower than average drive space and RAM. Monitor *not* included. Difficult if not impossible to upgrade. *

the M57p is easy to open and work inside of.

Lenovo M57p:Geek.com

The E8400 is an excellent processor that stays cool while providing lots of power, but it is limited by its surrounding components. The use of a small fan means high RPMs and the fan itself has a higher pitched sound that can be clearly audible as things start to heat up. *

adequate performance

Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p:channelinsider.com

An added benefit of the low-power design is how quiet the system is. *
