Gaming PCs: The Group Test

Gaming PCs are traditionally massive, gauchely designed towers, but there is an alternative. It’s now possible to fit a powerful processor and exceptional graphics chips capable of fast-paced HD, and even 3D, gaming into an all-in-one desktop. Compact, stylish and frequently touch-sensitive, gaming PCs have been reborn.
