Most Favorable Review

Excellent PC, ready to run out of the box.

ABS Stratos Aqua Gaming PC - Intel i7 14700KF - GeForce RTX 4070 Ti - DLSS 3 - AI-Powered Performance - 32GB DDR5 3200MHz - 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD - SA14700KF4070TI-2
ABS Stratos Aqua Gaming PC - Intel i7 14700KF - GeForce RTX 4070 Ti - DLSS 3 - AI-Powered Performance - 32GB DDR5 3200MHz - 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD - SA14700KF4070TI-2

Pros: - Plenty of power to run games at high resolution/frame rate - Couldn't spot anything wrong with the build, very clean and nothing is missing, unplugged or damaged. - Setup was very simple and took no time, came with Windows preinstalled with no bloatware.

Cons: - I would of liked to have the manual for the motherboard.

Overall Review: This PC is worth the price, especially on sale, hard to beat. Something to keep in mind, if you update the BIOS, the XMP profile for the RAM will be turned off and the RAM will be running at 4800MHz instead of the advertised 6000MHz, all you have to do is boot up into the BIOS and re enable the profile.

Excellent gaming laptop

Pros: - Fast CPU/GPU combo - Decent amount of RAM - Fast SSD - 240hz display - Nice keyboard with lots of customization through steelseries software - Good temps in demanding games

Cons: - No USB C/Thunderbolt - Power brick is quite literally a brick

Overall Review: If you are looking for pure performance in a laptop form factor then this is the laptop for you. Battery life is obviously not a focus for this laptop, so don't expect it to last long on battery power. Build quality is pretty good, body and lid are metal, seems durable enough for traveling, but it is a bit heavy.

Overall good monitor.

Pros: Screen is big and bright, colors are very nice. Lots of picture settings to customize. Build quality is excellent. High refreshrate.

Cons: HDR doesn't seem to be very good at all or just isn't working properly through HDMI on Windows 11. When HDR is on, everything is dull and dim.

Overall Review: A little spendy but definitely has been worth it, not sure what's going on with the HDR part of this monitor but not a huge deal to me right now. Monitor came in perfect condition, no dead/stuck pixels (so far). Overall I would recommend it.

Great performance, has some software/driver issues.

Overall Review: Pros: - Fast SSD - Very high FPS in most games at Ultra or Epic settings. (Baldur's Gate 3 - Early Access, Borderlands 3, Satisfactory - Early Access, modded Skyrim). - Thermals are surprisingly good. -Keyboard feels good and the lighting customization is plentiful. - Screen looks good and the 240hz refresh rate is really nice. Cons: - The laptop I got seemed to have a few bugs in some of the drivers and software (possibly even the BIOS) which got worse as time went on, I had to do the F3 recovery option and it has been more stable since, also there seems to be some big screen delay after the display goes to sleep and wakes up (only happens in Hybrid Graphics Mode) - Fans will get pretty loud depending on what you're doing, so consider headphones. - Trackpad isn't the best but functional.
