MSI is launching a new entry in its Vortex gaming PC range. The MSI Vortex G25 is a console-sized gaming PC. In fact, the machine is a good half-litre smaller than the Xbox One. However, this PC packs in an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, an Intel 8th Gen Core i7, and up to 64GB DDR4 RAM. We previewed the system at this year’s Computex.
