Windows 8 is unquestionably intended to create consistency between consoles, tablets, phones, and the PC. But the desktop world is still largely without touch input. Can Dell's XPS One 27 make the Windows 8 experience better with a gorgeous touchscreen?

Results: Battlefield 3

The XPS One 27 is a general-purpose PC, and this high-end configuration is designed primarily to work through productivity-oriented applications with ease. We still think that a general-purpose performance PC should be able to produce playable frame rates at low resolutions, though. Fortunately, the Dell's 56.1 average FPS at 1280x720 using Medium quality settings in Battlefield 3 settings is actually pretty good. On the other hand, the notebook’s lead is surprisingly large.
