Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 2 (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: 2000 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 32 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 5070 (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.)

Great Pre-Built PC
Has exceeded my expectations so far. I'm about 2 weeks in and it has handled everything I've thrown at it so far with ease. Super quiet in my opinion and performs like a beast. Will probably upgrade the GPU eventually but it's handling business at the moment.

All Games, High Settings, 4K, Buttery Smooth
This is my first prebuilt system I have owned and I love it. I was looking to upgrade and decided I didn't want to try and source out all the parts myself. I already had an Alienware 4k monitor and loved it. I picked this system specifically because of the 4070 and Ultra 9. I have been able to play all my games on high quality using DLSS performance mode (typically 50% or 75% native render) at 4k @ 120Hz refresh and have been really surprised how well the system is running. I mostly play action adventure games like Assassin's Creed and FPS like Borderlands.

Great Purchase
I purchased this conputer for my son for his graduation present and he is totally in love and beyond satisfied. I could have purchased a different gaming computer for half the price, but i wanted something that was going to last him a long time so I got him the newest thing out. And it was on sale!!!!
