Super high-performance PC and a top-notch, professional and attentive welcome in the shop. Go there confident.
??
To take advantage of the best performance, you have to completely reinstall Windows, and remove all the MSI add-ons to supposedly boost performance. Otherwise it's one of the machines with the best value for money. I bought it for games but thinking about it, it would be an excellent machine for Linux.
There's nothing wrong with its effectiveness. The only downside is a technical fault: the sound sometimes crackles for a few seconds before returning to normal, and in some cases the PC crashes.
I bought this PC for my daughter who wanted a PC for her studies.
The salesman, Joannes, gave very good advice on the choice to be made given the budget. My daughter is very pleased with this PC and she can carry out her projects without worrying about fan noise, which is more powerful. A very serious shop with very good advice.
Nothing to say, works well. I model my aircraft on this material without any problems. No problems with Blender and the development tools.
