A 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD is big enough for most files and there’s also room to expand, with support for up to 32GB of RAM and additional storage via M.2.

Integrated Intel graphics handle everyday workloads, including media editing and general productivity, meaning it's more than up to the job for typical home and office use.

Ports are clearly laid out and include 2 x USB-C 3.2, 3 x USB-A 3.2, 1 x USB-A 2.0, plus HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, along with Ethernet. It also includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth, and a 2.5G LAN port.

Cooling is handled by dual fans, keeping noise down while maintaining steady performance under load. It stays quiet enough that you won't really notice it during everyday use.

Windows 11 Home is preinstalled, with Copilot for quick access to AI features. At $740, this is a neat, capable desktop that fits comfortably into smaller setups without cutting corners.
