Score: 89/100
iBUYPOWER Slate
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Skytech Azure 3 Plus is a high-end pre-built gaming PC featuring a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, 32 GB DDR5 RAM, and an RTX 5070 Ti GPU, delivering excellent 4K performance. Its large mid-tower chassis and premium price make it less suitable for compact spaces or budget-focused buyers. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance out of the box.
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.
