Alienware X51 (January 2012)
Alienware has successfully brought its brand to an affordable, suitably stylized package, and I can recommend the X51 to anyone in the market for a mainstream gaming PC.
Acer Aspire Z5771-UR31P
Acer's Aspire Z5571 isn't the most polished all-in-one, but with an able balance of performance and features for the dollar, it offers enough value to entice anyone in need of a basic computer with home entertainment versatility.
HP Omni 220-1080qd
HP's nontouch Omni 220-1080qd all-in-one boasts a strong, performance-oriented configuration that will satisfy anyone looking for a mainstream desktop.
Velocity Micro Raptor Z90 (Core i7 3930K, Fall 2011)
Velocity Micro's Raptor Z90 offers everything we expect given its high-end components, but Intel's latest CPUs lack the value of its older chips, making this system and others like it recommendable to buyers with niche performance needs.
HP TouchSmart 620 3D
HP's graceless, overpriced TouchSmart 620 3D has very little to recommend it over competing 3D-capable all-in-ones.
Falcon Northwest Mach V (Core i7-3930K, fall 2011)
Well-heeled gamers with professional-level application performance needs should look into this statement-making Falcon Northwest Mach V, but you can spend far less and still enjoy top-notch gaming with an older CPU.
Dell Inspiron One 2320 all-in-one
You can find a faster all-in-one from Lenovo for just a few more dollars, but as a general-purpose system with a strong home entertainment bend, the Dell Inspiron One 2320 is hard to beat.
HP TouchSmart 520-1050y
HP does shoppers a disservice with the inconsistent pricing between this otherwise decent retail-only desktop and the more affordable, identical model available via HP's Web site.
Toshiba DX735-D3201 All-in-One
The workmanlike Toshiba DX735-3201 won't dazzle you with cutting edge aesthetics or innovative features, but its affordable, capable-enough configuration should have a certain appeal for general purpose users.
HP Omni 120-1024
You might reasonably ask whether a budget desktop makes sense anymore given the versatility of the iPad and other tablets, but if you find you do in fact need a low-cost computer, the HP Omni 120-1024 is a fine choice.
Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 91z 7075 - Core i3-2100 3.1GHz - 21.5-inch TFT
For those interested in a good-looking, fast midrange all-in-one, the Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 91z will fit in easily in any home office. Just don't ask it to do too much outside of its straitlaced business purview.
Samsung Series 7 all-in-one (DP700A3B)
Samsung has captured our attention, and our Editors' Choice Award, in its U.S. desktop debut, and we expect the Series 7 all-in-one PC will attract many mainstream customers with its appealing looks and accessible touch interface.
HP TouchSmart 520xt
An off-kilter value equation makes it hard for us to recommend the otherwise serviceable HP TouchSmart 520xt.
Maingear Vybe Super Stock (fall 2011)
The handsome new Maingear Vybe Super Stock offers everything we like to see in a modern gaming PC, and we'd recommend it particularly to those looking for a well-rounded performance computer.
Sony Vaio L-Series 3D Edition
The drastically overpriced 3D version of Sony's Vaio L-Series all-in-one is impossible to recommend due to more affordable competition that costs almost half as much for essentially the same features.
Lenovo IdeaCentre B520
Lenovo's IdeaCentre B520 is an amazingly well-equipped all-in-one for its price. You'll come for the 3D feature, but you should stay for the sheer value.
Toshiba DX1210-ST4N22 All-in-One
After a 10-year absence from the consumer desktop market, Toshiba makes a confident return with the DX1210-ST4N22, which offers an appealing combination of price, performance, and functionality.
Dell Inspiron 620 MT
Look no further than the Dell Inspiron 620 if you're interested in a mainstream PC with strong computing features housed in a case that dares to stand out in a sea of desktop conformity.
