Samsung Series 7 All in One Review
Samsung's $1,100 Series 7 all-in-one tries to balance affordability and functionality but uninspiring performance and display quality concerns take it down a peg.
Acer Aspire 7600U Review
Acer tries to break into an increasingly crowded market for premium all-in-one PCs with the thin and striking Aspire U. The system’s looks stand apart from the crowd, but it has to do more than look good if Acer wants to keep up with Dell’s XPS One and Lenovo’s A720.
Digital Storm Bolt Review
Digital Storms thinks it found a cure for the plague of yawn-worthy desktops with the Bolt, a tiny system that offers gaming power in a case that doesn’t look like a teenager’s drawing of an alien monolith. But can a pint-sized PC really pack a heavyweight’s punch?
Acer Predator AG3620-UR12 Review
Looking for an affordable gaming desktop? Acer might have what you need in its $1,300 Predator, a gaming system built with budget in mind. Can the Predator stalk larger prey, or is it too low on the food chain?
Acer AT3-600-UR11 Review
Acer’s new T3-600 is just another boring desktop tower. Or is it? Though sold at an affordable $600, this new system stands out from the crowd through its functional design, well-rounded performance, and easy upgradability.
Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Review
Touchscreen tables have appeared as concepts for years. Now, thanks to Lenovo, the idea has been transformed into a real consumer product. But pioneering technology is never cheap, and the Horizon’s value suffers as a result.
Falcon Northwest Fragbox 2013 Review
Haswell has arrived in an unexpectedly tiny package: the Falcon Northwest Fragbox. We put it to the test to see not only how Intel’s processors improve performance, but also to judge how their efficiency improves noise and power consumption.
Dell Alienware X51 (2013) Review
Alienware updated its tiny X51 computer/console hybrid with Intel’s 4th-gen processors, boosting performance while improving efficiency. Does the new hardware keep this unique system competitive with a growing list of competitors, or is it time for this alien to phone home?
Vizio CA24T 24-inch Touch All-in-One (AMD) Review
Vizio’s CA24T combines a 1080p display, subwoofer, and HDMI-in to create the ultimate entertainment all-in-one. These features make for a capable home entertainment system, but the system’s AMD processor has difficulty keeping pace with Intel’s finest.
HP Envy Rove 20 review
HP’s Envy Rove 20 is a new entry into the fledgling market of all-in-one/tablet hybrids. Like Dell’s XPS 18 and Sony’s Vaio Tap 20, it offers a massive touchscreen and a built-in battery; unlike those competitors, a well-equipped Rove starts at just $879. Does this make it a bargain, or does the system crumble under its own weight?
Acer Predator G3 (AG3-605-UR20) review
For years, Acer’s Predator line of gaming desktops has tried to grab the attention away from gaming’s veteran manufacturers – without much success. This time it’s trying to outdo the competition with the G3, a budget build that seeks to undercut competitors. Is this affordable rig worthy of gamers’ attention?
Dell XPS 8700 Special Edition review
With a powerful 4th-gen CPU and a slew of other good components, Dell’s XPS 8700 Special Edition is a fine do-it-all PC for students or a family.
Dell XPS 27 Touch review
Dell’s updated XP2 27 Touch is the best Windows all-in-one on the market, with a stunning screen and a nice set of new components. It’s also the strongest iMac competitor we’ve seen yet.
Asus M51AC-US016S review
Asus’ new M51 servers up a buffet of connectivity and upgradability, along with well-rounded performance, for just $700. But can this versatile desktop do it all?
Acer Aspire Z3-605 review
Simple, inexpensive, and affordable, the Acer Aspire Z3 AiO boasts a beautiful display, plenty of storage and good connectivity, but performance issues prevent it from reaching its full potential.
Origin Millennium (2013) review
Intel has finally released a successor to the pair of ridiculously powerful six-core processors that debuted two years ago, and Origin has wasted no time stuffing the new king of compute power in a gaming PC. But are six cores needed for gaming, or is the Millennium the ultimate in overkill?
Dell Inspiron One 23 review
The revised Dell Inspiron 23 is here, and unlike its predecessor, it attempts to walk the line between the premium XPS One 27 and cheaper, slower alternatives. While this may seem simple, it’s a difficult balance, and the system’s $999 starting price pushes the limits of what consumers find affordable. Is this new Inspiron a value wonder, or just another mundane mid-range PC?
Minix Neo X7 review
Looking for a super-cheap PC just to play videos and browse? The Neo X7 costs just $150, but awkward mouse and keyboard controls keep it from reaching its full potential.
Gateway DX 4885-UB3A review
The Gateway DX4885-UB3A is one of the least expensive tower desktops on the market, starting at $400 and selling for no more than $599 at the high end. Despite this, the system can be had with the latest Intel 4th-gen processors, which seems like a great deal. But does quirky design kill the value?
Lenovo IdeaCentre Flex 20 review
We take a look at Lenovo's Flex 20, a portable all-in-one to see if they've finally cracked the portable desktop code.
Gateway ZX4970-UR22 review
Gateway’s ZX4970-UR22 all-in-one looks lackluster on paper. There is, however, one important fact in its favor; a price tag of just $399.
Cyberpower Zeus Mini review
Cyberpower’s Zeus Mini is the company’s response to small form-factor computers from competitors like Falcon Northwest and Digital Storm. Unlike those alternatives however, the Zeus Mini starts at around $600 and, even when impressively equipped, rarely exceeds $2000. Is this a case of “too good to be true”?
Falcon Northwest Talon review
Falcon Northwest’s mid-sized tower desktop, the Talon, has been in production continuously since 1999. Over the years, it has been reinvented several times, but with competitors like Origin and Maingear hot on Falcon’s heels, there’s no shortage of alternatives. Does the Talon reign supreme here, or have newcomers passed it by?
Acer TA272HUL review
Can Acer’s new Android 27-inch all-in-one desktop, the TA272HUL, lure people away from Windows 8?
ASUS M70AD-US003S review
Is the ASUS M70AD a do-it-all mid-tower PC, or is it a lightweight trying to hold its own in a heavyweight Could use more USB 3.0 ports
Limited upgradabilityfight?
Lenovo C560 Touch review
Lenovo’s C560 is a simple all-in-one, but budget AIOs are sometimes plagued by quality issues. Does the C560 rise above?
Digital Storm Vanquish II review
Digital Storm’s Vanquish II is an affordable gaming desktop with enough graphics grunt to handle high-end 1080p gaming.
Acer Aspire AZ3-615 review
Acer's new Aspire AZ3-615 bundles passable parts into a tidy, balanced, and affordable package.
Maingear Vybe Z97 (2014) review
The Maingear Vybe offers good performance, but if you’re sticking to 1080p gaming, you can safely opt for a lesser configuration.
LG 22CV241 Chromebase review
LG's $349 Chromebase might help to write a new chapter in the growth of Google's desktop operating system.
Lenovo Erazer X510 review
Can Lenovo’s Erazer X510 iwin the hearts of hardcore gamers and overcome its corporate roots?
Origin Millennium (Late 2014) review
What do you get when you combine an overclocked Intel Core i7-5960X, with three GTX 980 video cards? Record breaking performance, that's what.
Lenovo Horizon II 27-Inch
The Lenovo Horizon was an experimental family computer with some interesting traits that failed to offer a compelling reason to use it. Has its successor improved on the formula, or does it remain a PC without a purpose?
CyberTronPC Thallium review
The best desktop gaming rigs aren’t always made by brands you know, as passionate enthusiasts can often trump larger, less agile companies. Is CybertronPC’s Thallium a love song to gamers, or does it hit too many off-notes?
Senior Editor, Computing
Luke Larsen is a Senior Editor at Digital Trends and manages all content covering laptops, Macs, monitors, PC hardware, and peripherals. Around here we call it “computing,” but here’s a good rule of thumb: If it’s a computer or something that plugs into a computer, you found your guy. Oh, and these days, AI too. So much AI.
After getting a degree in music from the University of Oregon, Luke started his career in media hoping to get into music journalism. But when the opportunity arose, he landed in tech and hasn’t looked back since. He has over a decade of tech journalism experience, first joining Digital Trends in 2017 as a native Portlander, happy to join a tech media company that called his city home. Before working at DT, he worked as Tech Editor at Paste Magazine for over four years and has bylines at publications such as IGN, TouchArcade (RIP), and The Oregonian.
In his years at Digital Trends so far, Luke has covered high-profile industry events such as CES, IFA, and Microsoft Build, delivering on-the-ground coverage, breaking news, and first-hand reporting. He’s hosted countless YouTube videos, made podcast appearances, and written over 600 articles.
Some of his earliest tech memories include learning HTML through his MySpace account and trying to play Baldur’s Gate II on his parents’ dusty old beige box. These days, his obsession with technology is in telling stories with tech — in finding the narratives that ebb and flow through both technological advancement and product design, trickling right on down to our day-to-day experience of it. He is convinced that we all spend too much of our time using technology and not enough time thinking about it — cue a healthy dose of navel-gazing and philosophizing.
When he’s not endlessly debating what the best laptop is, Luke spends his days being a dad and a husband. Oh, and when there’s time (which there isn’t), he’s an avid fiction writer, player of designer board games, and still occasionally makes some music.
