2 weeks agoThe Alienware Aurora Gaming Desktop Punches Above Its Weight
Alienware Aurora offers attractive lighting, easy GPU/RAM/storage upgrades, and strong value as a prebuilt gaming desktop, with limited CPU upgradeability.
With the price and quality of laptops these days, it can be difficult to recommend prebuilt desktop PCs-especially when they aren't focused on gaming. The Dell Tower Plus straddles the line, offering strong performance in a more modern, office-friendly aesthetic. It's ideal as a mixed-use computer that can act as a work-from-home PC by day and a secret gaming rig by night.
Beelink is nothing if not prolific. It makes a mini-PC for just about anyone. Today, we have one of its premium models - the SER9 Pro, specifically, the unit powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 H 255 processor. This particular model comes standard with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB Crucial SSD and is $640/£609/€740. You have a choice of Frost Silver and Space Gray color options. Inside the box, the SER9 Pro packs a power adapter and an HDMI cable.
