1 Apple iMac 24-inch
No surprises that I’ve put the Apple iMac at the top of the pile, not simply for its current incarnation but because Apple has been making all-in-one desktop machines for years now.
Sometimes a little quirky, always Apple, these all-in-ones have had their critics but there’s no denying their appeal for those that want stylish design in a single unit.
The current iMac features a 24-inch widescreen display, Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 8GB RAM, and gorgeous aluminium body. Yes, you’re paying for Apple-ness, but they’re gorgeous aren’t they? Read more
Dell Studio XPS 435 – good looking outside meets turbo charged innards
If Dell is trying to shed their “stack ’em high, sell ’em cheap” image this year, then they’ve managed it with the release of the Adamo notebook and today with the Studio XPS 435 desktop computer.
The names of the game for this machine that starts off at £1,699 are power and future-proofing but the latter of those is rather a dangerous call to make in any field of consumer tech. Your vision of the future will look just as dated as any other machine in two or three years’ time. So, let’s just call the XPS 435 what it is – an expensive, good looking piece of fun.

GALLERY: LG Viewty II aka Smart specs and pics
Pictures and specs of the LG Viewty II have been announced on LG’s euroblog and, fortunately, the folks over at Electric Pig have both keen eyes and a decent knowledge of German.
The handset, which looks to be an exclusive to Orange from June, will be known as the LG Viewty Smart – or the LG GC900 if you prefer the robotic way of life – and, if you’d like a closer look at it and a few inside bits and pieces on the specs, then I suggest you click the image below to begin the tour…
GALLERY: Packard Bell lightens up with EasyNote Butterflies and dot netbooks
For the budget end of the Acer family, Packard Bell has announced some rather swish looking options in the notebook/netbook department today. The cost seems to be that they’re perhaps not quite as cheap as you’d expect from PB but then that might have more to do with the exchange rate than anything else.
Each comes with some kind of Dolby sound technology and 16:9 wide, LED backlit screens to save as much battery life as possible. All look like reasonable options but it’s the EasyNote TR85 I’ve got my eye on the most.

GALLERY: Acer Aspire Revo – the nettop with NVIDIA graphics power
Well, it seems wherever Asus goes, Acer can follow and, with the likes of the 11.6″ Aspire One and the AspireRevo nettop, it looks like they’re doing it better too.
The Revo runs on an Intel Atom 230 processor with the NVIDIA ION graphics processor, the idea being to give it quiet, economic performance but with 10x the graphics power of most small computers. It’ll even run Vista, so I’d recommend Windows 7.
The plan is that you can use it as a media centre for 1080p HD content, for a good degree of gaming, for VoIP use and all backed up by up to 4GB of DDR2 and the choice of a SATA HDD or an SSD.

GALLERY: Fun with the Nintendo DSi's camera
The headline feature of the Nintendo DSi is that it’s now packing a couple of low-resolution cameras. Because there aren’t currently any games that support the feature, Nintendo’s built some fun camera software into the device that will let do silly stuff with pictures.

Top ten things we wish the Conficker worm would do (but it won't)
On April 1st, the infamous Conficker worm will unveil the full extent of its power. The virus, which has squirrelled away inside something like 15 million PCs, will ‘activate’ by receiving instructions from a mysterious central server.
It could spam, begin DDOS attacks, or just access all your files for identity theft purposes. But those are boring. Let’s have a look at what else it could do. Click through to the full post to begin.
