Although laptop is so common nowadays, some people still stick to their desktop. Desktop still best value for money for user that do not travel a lot. Apple iMac is one of the best desktop computer!

From 17-inches few years ago to 19-inches ( I have one at home) and now 27-inches LED-backlit HD monitor. 17-inches monitor not suitable for movie lover anymore, since HD getting common.

Let’s see what you get in iMac 27-inch:

CPU: 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Display: 27″ with 2560 x 1440 resolution

Memory: 4GB DDR3

Hard Drive: 1TB

Graphic: ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics 256MB

It comes with wireless keyboard and magic mouse standard. Magic mouse not that sensitive, yet still awesome.

To me, 27-inches monitor is like a small TV. Is it good to face 27-inches monitor in on hand long distance for whole day work? Maybe our spectacular will get thicker after use iMac.

Price at ~ $1699 USD.

This Dell come complete with dedicated 256MB ATI Radeon HD card and 750GB (@7200rpm) while HP Pavilion Elite still using 128MB (Shared Memory) Nvidia Geforce and 640GB hard drive.

In term of speed, Dell Studio run on Intel Core 2 Quad 2.3Ghz which is faster than AMD Phenom X4 2.3Ghz in HP (Adobe Photoshop CS3 application benchmark).

If budget is not a problem, then this desktop is definitely best choice for you. But who need such high performance computer at home? At least I don’t need that Don’t forget the price is not include LCD monitor.

Price at ~ $800 USD.

Graphics are less concern in most of the business. Other than that, all specifications are above power.

Dell XPS 430 Features

It is a Ferrari or Lamborghini compare to my clone PC.

• Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66Ghz
• 8GB DDR3 RAM
• 1TB HDD
• 256MB ATI Radeon Graphic card
• Vista Home Premium
• 22-inches LCD

For me, this model is too luxury and wasted. Perhaps only multimedia processing need such high power specs. Anyhow, it still lack on graphic card. Unless some application need really high process speed, or this model doesn’t worth for your money. What do you think?

Price at ~ $1500 USD.

I would say it is best deal plus best performance for its price. The basic Sony Vaio JS190J specification start at $999 but the Blu-ray drive and other upgrade make the price go upto $1400+.

Sony Vaio JS190J Specification

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Ghz

Memory: 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Display: Sony’s 20-inch LCD (1,680×1,050)

Graphics: 128MB (shared) Intel GMA 4500HD

Hard drive: 500GB 7,200rpm

Optical drive: Blu-ray drive

Network connection: Gigabit Ethernet; 802.1b/g/n Wi-Fi; Bluetooth

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 (64-bit)

The bad about Sony Vaio JS190J is its screen might be a bit smaller than Apple iMac 22-inch monitor. No doubt on its fast performance on 3Ghz Core 2 Duo chipset. The huge 500GB hard drive could store hundreds of movie until you can’t finish.

Price at ~ $1446 USD.
