Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Core i5 14th Generation (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 4060 (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.)

- Rated 5 out of 5 stars
GOATED pc with good specs for an affordable price
I like the pc itself, the specs, and its athstetics. The only thing that I didn't like was that it has a DDr4 motherboard but a DDr5 ram, which capped the ram.

Pleasantly surprised
Great starter pc, really have enjoyed this far. Upgraded the ram immediately to 64gb and man is it snappy! Eventually will probably upgrade graphics card, but for now everything performs well.
