Overall verdict

This year’s Editor’s Choice for best buy in Family PCs went to Dundalk-based iQon, for the iQon Multimedia by Philips PC. Not only did the PC have a good technical specification, but it also had quality peripherals and a diverse software bundle. The iQon machine was also one of the best looking machines in the round-up, and performed best in the PC World Bench4 speed test.

The Best Ease of Use was a toss up between the Paradise PC and the Apple iMac G4; the Paradise PC eventually walked off with the prize.
