ومنافذ اليواسبي خربانه

This is my second gaming pc system purchase from Skytech Gaming. I have been quite satisfied with my other system which was purchased a little over 2 years ago, and with the prices currently of GPU's and chips. I chose to go with Skytech this round as an option for a pre-build. I wanted a rig to replace a almost 10 yr old Dell XPS system which was clearly in need of retirement. Which would be primarily for home and multimedia work. And for the price of what GPU's and chips are currently going for individually, this is a good deal. Furthermore I also did not want to deal with all the mess of proprietary stuff from the hardware, software and bloatware companies like Dell, HP, etc do with their systems. The pros; - The price, I mean really. The price of the Nvidia 3050 alone is close to half the price of the system (as of writing this review) - I have not yet tried gaming on it, so far it has been as mentioned before for multimedia purposes. So Adobe programs such as photoshop, video editing have been working quite well with no lag issues. - Easy setup. (I am in no way a computer whiz to where I can build my own systems. But fairly competent to work on them and problem solve issues when they arise) Should be no issue for someone who has little experience, as long as you read the setup guide. - If you are thinking about it. It is Windows 11 capable. (I decided to go back to Windows 10 which it came pre-installed with originally and I won't go into why I disliked Windows 11. You can do your own research there) - Quiet, not heard any noisy fans that would scare the weak of heart Negatives - one star for the following reasons; - Coming with 8 gig of ram when most systems are coming with 16gb as standard. (Of course can be fixed with a minor upgrade RAM purchase) - I appreciate the CPU fan is a Coolermaster brand that was installed. What I don't like that I cannot change or turn off the RGB light on it, since it is plugged in directly into the motherboard. Versus being able to change the RGB lighting for the rest of the system. - XMP was not set on in the BIOs to take full use of the 3200Mhz speed of the ram (default was 2666) so bit of a miss on quality control check there. As for Skytechs tech support. I have not needed a reason to contact them. So I cannot speak on that behalf. But it is good to have that option available if needed.

Honestly, when I bought this I was looking at the 1 and 2 star reviews and scaring myself. I figured if it's that bad I'll just return it no big deal. But it's been two weeks now and I'm amazed, for such a low price. Although I did swap the RAM from the stock 8GB to the XLR8 16GB 3600MHz but I intended to anyways.. not because the one that came was faulty or anything. In these two weeks I had tried many games in ultra settings like GTAV, Assetto Corsa, Euro and American Truck Simulator, BeamNG, and COD MW and all of them ran flawlessly at great FPS without any issues. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get into gaming. I rated the tech support 5 stars but haven't really had a reason to contact them but I'm assuming they are amazing.

Its a decent cpu if you dont plan on using it for the latest titles and on ultra/high settings.

I really like the look and feel of the equipment. Every program I use runs faster and smoother. I live in an older building with cement and wire mesh walls and wireless can be a problem. But there is no difference in speed between wireless and ethernet connectivity even though the modem is at one end of the apartment and the computer is about as far away as you can get from the modem without going outside.. The key board is taking some time to get used to. The feel of the keys is not what I'm used to, very different than laptop keyboards. The mouse works well even on a wooden top. I also like the lighting. It gives the tower the look of a piece of art work. There is a lot of room for expansion. But what told me the most about the company and the product was the packaging. If you've ever bought really expensive clothing and foot wear, it always comes wrapped in a clothe bag. This computer comes wrapped in clothe in addition to al the other carboard and Styrofoam packaging you normally get. Skytech has a lot of pride in what it makes and sells and it should. It's a company who treats you like your the only customer they have. And it all starts with the packaging. Very happy so far.
