Tech Advisor Magazine August Edición anterior

In the August issue of PCA we show you how to speed up your PC, using solid-state storage to make any PC or laptop fly. You'll also find our family PCs group test, with six do-it-all desktops ranked and rated.

With E3 2014 underway as we went to press, we thought it a perfect time to look to the future of gaming. Console gaming could be on its way out.

Similarly futuristic is our investigation into robots. With serious money being invested in robotics, are we about to see robots become a reality? We look at how far the field has come, and what lies ahead in the very near future.

For now, though, if you want something done you'll need to do it yourself. We show you how to complete everything from simple projects such as setting up a new PC and making Excel work your way, to dealing with the ins and outs of writing code and setting up an online shop.

There's also our reader Q&A, unique Top 5 charts, extensive news analysis – including how to deal with GO ZeuS – opinion and reviews.
