iBUYPOWER Slate
Score: 77/100
Skytech Archangel
Score: 68/100Rankings
The iBUYPOWER Slate combines an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F with an RTX 5060 GPU and 32 GB DDR5 RAM, offering smooth 4K60+ and quiet operation. However, its 1 TB SSD is modest and thermals are only average, while Wi-Fi 802.11ac lags behind newer standards. Ideal for users who value quiet performance and RGB aesthetics without needing top-tier thermals.
The Skytech Archangel is a pre-built gaming PC that pairs an Intel i5-14400F with an RTX 5060, delivering solid 1080p-1440p performance and includes a 650 W Gold PSU. Its drawbacks are an older Wi-Fi 5 module, ambiguous RAM options, and a lack of RGB or premium case design. Best suited for entry-to-mid-level gamers who want a ready-to-play system without premium aesthetics.
