However, with its short battery life and cheaper options available from the competition, it's not an overly impressive deal.

Built for small businesses and home usage, the Interact S605 stands out in its price range and is well-deserving of our recommendation.

With extra features like wireless printing and a media card reader, the Impact earns a solid recommendation.

If its bulky design and lack of 5GHz frequency support don't put you off, the router is worth every penny of its $100 or so price tag.

The p6510y deserves our recommendation, but if Photoshop and Dreamweaver aren't part of your daily routine, you can trade the HP's multicore speed for extra hard-drive space and save a couple bucks with a competing Asus system.

We wouldn't recommend this system to a generalist consumer or those with discriminating opinions about hardware aesthetics, but for the pennywise gamer, this Gateway is the midrange desktop to beat.
