iBUYPOWER Trace 93G730, Ryzen 5 3600, 8GB, 240GB SSD, GeForce GT 730
This gaming PC has a split personality: some buyers rave about it as a solid and upgradeable starter machine that runs games smoothly after a few tweaks, while others slam it for crashing, dead components, and terrible support. Verified one-star reviews describe random shutdowns, a failed graphics card, and a frustrating return process with hidden fees. The makers seem to ship a flawed product expecting customers to fix it themselves, and those who are happy already replaced the CPU cooler, RAM, and storage.
Pros
- Upgradeable and expandable design
- Solid and well-built case
- Good for starter gaming with tweaks
- Quiet and smooth operation
- Fast wireless connectivity
Cons
- Frequent crashes and random shutdowns
- Poor CPU cooler causes thermal throttling
- Graphics card failure early on
- Terrible customer support
- Difficult and costly return process
