Used for: 6–12 months
Cable work behind the tray is exemplary
Only one spare drive bay left
Opened it to add a disk and found nothing to tidy, which was a first
Used for: 3–6 months
Utterly effortless at the resolution I actually play at
The lighting defaults are garish until you tone them down
Bought for ultrawide and it does not so much run games as ignore them. Sliders to the right, never a stutter, and the fans stay polite about it all!
Used for: More than a year
Has never once needed a thought
Still the machine everyone in the house wants to borrow, a year and a bit on
Used for: Less than a month
Storage so generous nothing ever has to come off
The 4TB drive is the reason I chose this one over the cheaper sibling, and it has changed how I use a machine. Nothing gets uninstalled. The whole library, three video projects and a folder of captures all sit there with room to spare. On the old build I was juggling what to keep every time something new came out. One mark off because the boot drive arrived partitioned in a way I would not have chosen!
Used for: 1–3 months
Handles the highest settings without a murmur
Takes up more desk than I had planned for
Genuinely the first machine I have owned that never makes me lower a setting!
Used for: More than a year
Quiet enough to record next to
The top filter is a pain to get back on straight
It sits about a foot from a microphone and does not turn up on the recordings, which is not something I could say about any machine I have owned before. The fans only really announce themselves under a long session, and even then it is a low rush rather than a whine. A year on, nothing has changed for the worse
Used for: 3–6 months
Upgrading from a machine I built myself back in 2017, so almost anything would have felt quick, but the gap is wider than I expected. Things that used to take a minute now take a moment. What I would flag to anyone considering it is the noise profile rather than the noise level. It is quiet at idle and quiet under a steady load, but there is a stretch in between where the front fans hunt up and down as the processor spikes, and that changing note carries further than a constant one. Five months in I have flattened the curve myself and it is much better for it. A sane default would have saved me the job.
