<p>Why it's cool: Sometimes you need heavy-duty computing power that a laptop just can't provide.</p>
<p>Gamers, video editors, and other users may want or need a more powerful machine – a desktop is the answer when you really need that extra push. Also good for users who want a bigger screen.</p>
- <p>Vikings offers three desktop computers. (ThinkPenguin also <a href="https://www.thinkpenguin.com/catalog/desktop-computers-gnu-linux">has desktops</a>.)
