| Bottom line | The Origin Chronos shows the strength of small boutique vendors with a fast, affordable, and compact little desktop that I can recommend to any PC gamer. | With or without its new Fusion hybrid drive, Apple finally has a
Mac Mini that competes well against mainstream Windows PCs in the same price range. | Tabletop PCs may not be fully ready for the mainstream, but this coffee-table-size version from Lenovo is fun to use, and doubles as a solid all-in-one desktop. | If you're in the market for a $3,000 gaming PC, the attractive, blazing fast Maingear F131 should be first on your list. |
