What Type of Desktop
is Best For You?
BUSINESS DESKTOPS: Business desktops are engineered to meet the unique needs of the business world. These machines range from basic work units that might lack some of the features and extras found on consumer-oriented units to powerful workstations that include networking capabilities.
MAINSTREAM DESKTOPS: The most popular segment of the market, mainstream desktops can be used to browse the web, send email, watch online video and use popular home office applications. These models tend to be the most affordable.
PERFORMANCE DESKTOPS: Performance desktops are mainstream desktops with the power turned up a couple of notches. Powerful processors are partnered with lots of RAM and big hard drives to let users edit HD video, record Blu-ray discs and watch TV via built-in tuners.
GAMING DESKTOPS:Gaming desktops throw caution to the wind and pack every bell and whistle into one box in order to provide the best gaming experience possible. Generally bigger and flashier than most models, gaming desktops typically concentrate on powerful video cards that drive today's hottest games.
