Lenovo IdeaCentre B500

With an angular, aggressive silver and black design, the Lenovo IdeaCentre B500 ($650 and up) has a love it or leave it design — but there's a lot to like underneath. Sporting an Intel Core 2 Quad processor, the B500 also packs discrete graphics, up to 8GB of RAM, 1TB of hard disk space, a 23-inch Full HD screen, integrated JBL speakers, and a 4-in-1 remote that acts as a motion-based game controller, VoIP handset, air mouse, and media remote.
