65 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews

The product receives mixed reviews. Many users praise its performance, speed, and value for money, with several 5-star ratings highlighting satisfaction for gaming and general use. However, serious concerns are raised about manufacturing defects, including hot glue inside the tower that can damage components, and a case where the advertised NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 was not present, replaced by Intel UHD graphics. These issues suggest inconsistent quality control.

Pros
  • Fast performance
  • Great value for money
  • Quiet operation
  • Easy setup
  • Smooth and fast
Cons
  • Hot glue inside tower damaging components
  • Missing advertised NVIDIA RTX 2060
  • Soldered laptop CPU instead of AM4 slot
  • Non-removable filters
  • Windows update issue initially
