So phones start to become something else at around 5-6inches but when does a tablet become something more? Today we look at a device which Dell market as a 'Portable All in One Desktop', the XPS 18. Is it a desktop though... or is it just about the biggest (and most powerful) tablet out there?

The Zotac Zbox Nano XS Plus was a practical little mini PC equipped with an AMD processor from the Brazos family. It's an energy-efficient processor, but for consumers that want more pint-sized power, Zotac now has real competition for the Intel NUC and Gigabyte Brix: the new Zotac Zbox Nano ID63/ID64/ID65 that comes with a powerful Intel processor.

Inside the retail packaging you’ll instantly see the directions and there are just three simple steps to get started. You just need to plug the HDMI dongle into an HDTV, switch to that HDMI input and then go to a website to being the setup process to connect it to your existing local wireless (Wi-Fi) network. Besides plugging in the Chromecast the first time, you shouldn’t ever need to touch it again. Everything else from this point on is controlled with your computer, smartphone, or tablet...

You don't have to spend an arm and a leg for a good racing wheel. Compared to the top-of-the-line deluxe racing wheels, you sacrifice a little precision and build quality, but the quality of the steering wheel itself is mostly left intact. Instead of metal, more plastic is typically used. The pedals of the Thrustmaster F430 and Logitech Driving Force GT we tested for this review are more than good enough for the average gamer. Both work great for driving, they're very accurate and the quality of the force feedback is good. Logitech's wheel is slightly more expensive but has the better force feedback, while the Thrustmaster F430 has superior pedals. If you don't want to spend as much, the 458 Italia from Thrustmaster is a very good racing wheel. You don't get force feedback, however, and the pedals aren't as nice, but for the money it's a good product. If you want to go even cheaper, the Speedlink Drift O.Z. is an option. However, you get what you pay for, and you will enjoy your favorite racing game a lot more if you at least get the 458 Italia from Thrustmaster.

Some say desktop computers are fading into a thing of the past, personally I prefer them over a laptop or tablet any day of the week. Laptops and tablets certainly have their place in today’s on-the-go lifestyle we lead. In fact I’m typing this while sitting in a hotel room on a business trip on my laptop. Obviously there are some advantages to them, but desktop systems are my preferred system any day of the week. Dollar for dollar desktop systems offer more bang for the buck than a laptop, but laptops offer portability though you sacrifice performance. If you haven’t guessed already, today we are looking at a full blown desktop system from Alienware, the X51 R2. The Alienware X51 desktop starts at only $699 but the sky is the limit as the X51 is fully customizable. Read on to see how it performs.

In my first article about our project build Lunchbox 3, I covered everything that controls how fast the build is. Today I will be following up with all of the parts that support. That includes the power supply, case, and cooling components. These are all critical parts to your PC, but things like the CPU, motherboard, and video card generally get all of the attention. Today we will find out all about why space was such a concern when picking our previous components. Let’s dig in and see the rest of what Lunchbox 3 will consist of.

November and December are great months for replacing a PC. Not only have all the big hardware launches for the year taken place, the big winter game releases have all occurred too. One company looking to meet our needs for the latest and greatest system is UK Gaming Computers and today we have their Minos system on our test bench. Based on an overclocked i7 CPU and GTX 780 Ti GPU with compact chassis and motherboard it should be a powerful yet small system.
