57 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews

This prebuilt gaming PC receives mixed reviews. Several buyers praise its performance, quiet operation, and clean build with quality components like an ASUS motherboard and Zotac 5070 Ti, running games at ultra settings. However, a significant number of units arrive dead or fail within hours or months, with no display output and poor customer support, leading to returns. The overall sentiment is sharply divided between excellent value and critical reliability issues.

Pros
  • Excellent gaming performance at ultra settings
  • Quiet and cool operation
  • Quality components (ASUS motherboard, Zotac 5070 Ti)
  • Clean cable management
  • Minimal bloatware
Cons
  • High rate of DOA units
  • Fails within hours or months
  • No display output on arrival
  • Poor customer support
  • Unreliable warranty
