The Bottom Line: The attractive, fairly priced Samsung Chromebox desktop turns Google's Web-based Chrome OS into a not entirely unreasonable option for certain low-cost PC shoppers. Read review

  Overall score: 7.2 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 3.0 stars out of 4 reviews

The Bottom Line: Not everyone wants a living-room computer, but the Acer Revo 100 is one of the better low-cost HTPCs we've seen thanks to a wisely chosen feature set, its attractive design, and a mostly well-conceived input device. Read review

The Bottom Line: The Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P is a poorly configured, overpriced budget desktop with little to recommend it. Look instead to Acer's Gateway subsidiary for better slim-tower options. Read review

  Overall score: 7.0 (3.5 stars)
• Average user rating: 2.0 stars out of 27 reviews

The Bottom Line: The Acer Aspire X1200-U1520A is a speedy, compact, low-end desktop that's powerful enough to serve as a light-duty home theater PC. Expansion is limited by an especially cramped interior (even for a small PC), but the total package is worthwhile for PC shoppers on a budget. Read review

The Bottom Line: Acer's Aspire Revo 1600 might be the first Nettop we don't actively dislike. We'd rather have an Xbox 360 in the living room, but the Aspire Revo 1600 would be suitable as a PC for young kids or as a low-profile cloud kiosk. Thanks to its $199 price tag, you won't feel too much remorse if it breaks or you outgrow it. Read review

The Bottom Line: We knew Apple and Intel were getting hitched, we just didn't expect it would be this soon. Following Intel's introduction of its new Core Duo dual-core mobile CPU architecture, Apple announced two new iMacs at this year's Macworld, each powered by a new Intel chip. Read review
