72 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews

This gaming PC is a hit with kids, especially for playing Fortnite, thanks to its great graphics and LED lights. However, several buyers reported issues like faulty screens, sound problems, and missing cables, though customer service was responsive in replacing defective units. The limited 256GB storage is a common concern, with many recommending an external drive. Overall, it offers good value when it works, but quality control seems inconsistent.

  • Amazing LED lights
  • Easy setup
  • Good for Fortnite
  • Responsive customer service
Cons
  • Limited 256GB storage
  • Faulty screens reported
  • Sound issues
