Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 13th Generation Core i5 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 1000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Quite impressed with this laptop-class desktop PC
I appreciate the industrial design of this desktop -especially the front panel. The case comes in a mini tower form factor that takes a very small footprint. The glass display and subtle RGB lighting look nice but, in my opinion, also shows how basic the inside looks. While there is an attempt to make the appearance uniformly black, the stickers, green cable ties, color cables, and white connectors detract from it. It would have liked the SSD slots to have the same cover as the RAM, use black connectors, and sleeve the cables. Thankfully, the glass panel is removable, so some aesthetic customizations can be made (if you are like me). To my surprise, the included keyboard and mouse, while rather basic, feature full RGB lighting. There are plenty of I/O ports located on the back and front, including USB-A 2.0. USB-A 3.2, and strangely only one USB-C 3.2 in the front. There are also DisplayPort 1.4 and 2.1 as well as an HDMI 1.4 available for monitor hook-ups. The Wi-Fi 6 (why not 6E or 7?) is consistent and reasonably speedy without an external antenna and Bluetooth works as expected. This pre-build offers decent specs but has limited upgradability. This model comes with a single stick of 16GB of memory running at 5200MHz and can be expanded up to 64GB. I would have liked 2 sticks running in dual channel instead. A 1TB PCIe Gen 4 NVMe SSD is installed, and an empty slot is available as well. The motherboard features an i5-13420H CPU laptop-class (yes, laptop!!) processor which is soldered in and cannot be upgraded. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU can arguably be replaced, but the 330W power supply severely limits the options. Basically, this is an “as-is” PC, but I still think it has a decent lifespan. Now, I must say that I am rather impressed with the performance of this mini tower. The T-500 is marketed as a gaming desktop, so I am focusing on that. The entry-level RTX 5060 8GB VRAM graphics card, in conjunction with the 16GB RAM, works rather well with this laptop-class CPU. I did not notice any obvious bottlenecking while running synthetic graphic tests. I was pleased even more when I played graphic-intense AAA games. Sure, I had to curb my expectations, but playing at 1080p and 1440p at max settings yielded stable 60-120 frame rates (without raytracing) in most games. I had to play around with the settings and use frame-generation DLSS 4 if I wanted more performance or raytracing. 4K gaming is not even an option here -unless you’re into retro or simple games. The temperatures did reach a high of 92c (CPU) and 78c (GPU) during stress tests and intense gaming, but regularly stayed below 60c average. The CPU is cooled well enough by a single heat pipe and one exhaust fan. Overall, I would consider the T-500 an excellent and reliable mid-tier, entry-level 1080p/1440p gaming PC that does not take too much space or breaks the bank.

A great little gaming PC!
Enabled me to access my 3 year old Rf 9.5s simulator after the company shut it down and required me to go thru Steam Platform to access the program which steam required me to have a full blown Graphics card! Very happy to have my Simulator back!
