Desktops

They join our Best Monitor of CES, the $1,199 Alienware AW3225QF — though both the Asus and MSI panels are flat rather than curved, and add single-cable 90W USB-C docking and passive cooling. They’ve all got three-year burn-in warranties, though.

It’s good to see Intel’s gaming NUCs are alive and well under new management! This one’s definitely a NUC: loads of ports despite a small 2.5-liter chassis, Intel Core Ultra processors, and up to 140W of GPU power from what’s presumably mobile RTX 4070 graphics?

The Epomaker DynaTab 75X looks super flashy here at CES, and it’s not all that expensive: under $150 for hot-swappable keys, USB-C, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless (with hidden dongle), and a 10,000mAh battery. It’s a Kickstarter.

Part of an upcoming crop of 32-inch 240Hz 4K OLED panels — this one’s got a powerful KVM. Plug in a USB-C laptop to get a 2nd monitor, peripherals, and 140W PD charging, then switch its many USB ports over to your desktop via DP 2.1 or its pair of HDMI 2.1 video inputs instead. Plus, it’s got a small square base: I hate the big V-shaped ones.

While it strangely topped out at an RTX 4070 Ti at launch and no unlocked K-series CPUs, you should soon be able to nab a slimmed $3,499 prebuilt with an RTX 4090, Intel’s new Core i9-14900KF with 240mm liquid cooling, 32GB DDR5, two 1TB M.2 NVMe SSDs, and a 1000W PSU.

The Revolt has a integrated handle that folds flush into the case, a pop-out headphone holder, toolless side panels, and separate cooling zones for the CPU and GPU — and the $2,099 Platinum configuration seems a solid price for a prebuilt RTX 4070 machine with i5-13600K, 32GB of DDR5 and RGB.

Last week, I told you how 42 Dough customers accused the company of stringing them along for months or years without shipping their products or issuing refunds.

VideoCardz:

Framework sells its modular laptop motherboard a la carte to fulfill DIY desktop and cyberdeck dreams — and now, it’s selling off extra stock of these 11th Gen Intel Core models at deep discount.

Remember when I said the new Starfield GPU is too pretty to hide inside my PC? I wouldn’t need to with a mini-case like this! Pretty potent processors inside this PC, too. (Minisforum via VideoCardz)

Even though it’s not coming till early 2024, Asus wants you to believe it’s “the chosen one.” And a 240Hz QD-OLED screen at 32 inches, with graphene cooling, USB-C, KVM and picture-in-picture certainly sounds good!

Tom’s Hardware is spreading the good word about the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, a $229 AM4 chip so strong AMD is only selling it in limited quantities to gamers who physically visit a Micro Center store.
