"Medion E4355 D"
1 Desktop
Computer act!ve
Published on 2/2010
On test: Aldi / Medion akoya E4355 D
"Medion's E4355 D is a desktop computer, available from Aldi stores from Thursday 4 February. The computer comes in a 'tower' case, although that name isn't particularly appropriate as this one is fairly squat, not much more than 30cm tall. On the top of the case is the hard disk connector often found on Medion computers, allowing users to attach an external, portable hard disk, which is sold as an optional extra. ..."

Published on 9/2009
On test: eMachines EZ1600
"In these financially-challenging times not everyone can afford to splurge on a high-end PC like the £1700 PC-Specialist Vortex i950 - not to mention that if all you want one for is to browse the net, flick through a few photos or watch a film, most desktop systems are major overkill. So for those on a very tight budget or with low computing ambitions, eMachines (an Acer brand well known for its budget orientation) has the All-In-One (AIO) EZ1600." Review details: Single Test.

On test: Mesh Matrix II 955BE Hush
"Portable computers such as laptops and netbooks are fine if you have to get things done on the move. However, they don’t cope particularly well with demanding tasks such as video editing or playing recent games. To do that you will need a more powerful computer, and that means a desktop PC such as the Mesh Matrix II 955BE Hush." Review details: Single Test   → Test results

Complete PC Systems

A complete PC system is the easiest way to get everything you need in a new PC, secure in the knowledge that everything has been preconfigured and selected to work together flawlessly as a whole.

Systems come with a motherboard, graphics and sound card, hard drive, RAM, optical drive and usually a keyboard and mouse. Be careful though as even though a monitor is usually always shown in pictures, a few systems do not include one as standard. Also have a good look at the specifications and names of manufacturers, the quality of supplied hardware will have a big impact on the speed of the PC.

The amount of RAM should be no less than 512 MB but 1GB or even 2 GB are considered the minimum for running Microsoft's new Vista Operating system. The speed of a processor is also an important factor but can be quite deceptive, look for higher cache values or for a dual core or 64 bit processor as these offer the best processing power but often seem to have the same or lower clock speeds than older processors. Integrated graphics or sound cards will also nullify any gain from choosing a higher processor speed over discrete variants with their own memory and processing chips.

A pre installed operating will save money and time and will have often been checked over to iron out any little problems that occur in new installations.

If you are working with large files or planning on writing DVDs go for a hard drive that is not less than 100 GB, future versions of Windows will need a lot of space and a collection of films and songs can grow faster than you'd expect.

Complete PC systems are currently going for a song and further savings can be made by picknig up systems with only Windows XP as opposed to Vista while stocks last.
