Sony and Tosh top notebook PC reliability chart, third of Americans want Apple
A recent consumer survey by Which? magazine suggests that Sony and Toshiba top the pile when it comes to laptop reliability, both scoring 93%.
Perhaps surprisingly given how they’re used, and the belief that laptop computers don’t last as long, portable PCs scored better than their desktop relatives.
Apple tied with Dell and Compaq at the top of the chart for desktop computer reliability, with 86%.
Of course these results are based on consumer experience rather than scientific measurement, so it doesn’t mean those brands at the top of the pile are necessarily the best…
HP unveils TouchSmart IQ500 all-in-one PC
There aren’t a lot of all-in-one desktop PCs around, with Apple having most of the market with the iMac, and Gateway’s “One” PC. Now HP is entering the market with its TouchSmart IQ500 integrated PC…
That desktop Eee PC? Yep, it'll be renamed as the Ebox, and announced by ASUS June 3rd
Remember the rumours regarding a desktop PC version of the ASUS Eee? Finally, some more concrete evidence has landed in our RSS feeds, albeit with the same mocked-up images as before.
Just like their Eee, it’ll be a budget sub-desktop PC, with just 2GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive. They’ve given it a catchy name and everything – the Ebox. Think dyslexics will have a tough time discerning between the Ebox and Xbox? Me too.
The Register is claiming the Ebox will run on Linux, although my bet is they’ll add an XP version a few months after the launch. Also…

Dell has signed a deal with DSG International which will see a range of its PCs become available in PC World, Currys, Currys.digital, and Dixons Online, as well as a number of European stores linked to the Group.
It’s the European leg of Dell’s move to get away from the “we don’t sell in the shops” strategy that has served them for the last 20 years…
Whack it! Whack it good! (With the Desktop Arcade Challenge, not Devo)
This USB desktop version of the ancient What It game is probably intended as a fun way to pass the time away whilst at your desk, but for me, I’m envisioning taking out my rage at pages not loading fast enough and my favourite blogs not being updated enough, BOP! BOP! BOP! TAKE THAT! POW!
I can feel the rage seeping away already. The aim of the game is dead-easy, you just have to whack the coloured ‘moles’ (or Jelly Baby heads, as I call them) on the head as they light up, with the pace of the game progressing faster and faster in either a 30 or 60 second limit. Powered…
