On the plus side, the fact that you can go "I want THAT CASE" and then you can select any of the inventory they have *could* be a good thing, but I would agree some of the default base spec/suggested starting points should be bigger/better.
I do find it slightly odd that they were able to make sure we see the warranty information, however they couldnt add image doesnt show starting price up top as well.
They should just have the 3 preconfigured PCs but have customization. That way customers can see the different price options and make changes to suit their needs kind of like what build redux does.
You do good work! Your channel is really unique and you're doing PC buyers a genuine service. I appreciate you are measured and balanced in your evaluations but not afraid to point out issues and room for improvement; all things people need to know when spending money on a PC. I'm more of a DIY kind of guy, but enjoy your videos and wouldn't hesitate to refer people to your channel if they want to buy a pre-built PC. Have you, at any point, talked about a "Top 5" or "Top 10" pre-built companies ranked? I mean watching your videos, someone could probably come to some conclusions on which company you might put on the top of your list, but I'd love to see a ranked list of companies that you maintain and update as companies might go and come or rise and fall on the list.
Or maybe list the top 5 or top 10 with four or five "charateristics" which are ranked form 0 to 10, as in price, aesthetics, config flexibility, quality of parts, and so on?
The only problem I have with the low default specs is, as you pointed out, it is a poorly balanced build. It is created by having a too pricey default case. Also, I have seen SI sites where the image reflects the low default spec build and gets updated as you as options.
Life time warranty now a days means: "We will do your future repairs for you at a tidy profit..."... Wow so thoughtful of them...
Will this game xdefiant run on my pc my pc is a gtx 1650 with an AMD ryzen 3 4100
have you ever looked a VRLA tech great SI sight i bought two from them like 7 years ago when i first got into computers.
Thanks for your hard work. Helped me choose my new pc and monitor 😊
My initial thought: In the customizer with the lowest specs, if you click on a beefier GPU, a prompt or notation should say "4080 GPU best paired with CPU 7800X3D, suggested build see *high end default build* to utilize/not bottleneck the CPU. See article about GPU/CPU bottle neck and suggested pairings." I think that would let the user, who is new to pc building know they may need to do more research.
To my gaming seniors.. Do you have any knowledge of Paradox Customs?? Are they any good?? Id greatly appreciate it. My budget is 8k. nothing more lol
Paradox is legit! If you want me to help you configure a custom system with them, the PC Matchmaker stream starts in 20 minutes 👍
on the website every default picture has like a 4090 in the picture but every pc has no graphics card 🤣
You need to actually watch the video and lower your expectations... As long as you lower your expectations enough, then it's all good! 🤷♀
I have been gifted a channel membership from someone. Thank you to that someone.
Now that is a lot of SKUs
even though I am not going to buy a prebuilt probably ever again, I still think it's awesome you are out here looking out for other people. So many Prebuit companies are shady.
For Liber-Tea and Managed Democracy!
For me, I am focusing on building my own PC that will effectively double the power of my gaming laptop at less than I paid for the laptop.
I am playing with PC Part Picker, am learning more every week, and refining my decision process.
Some day I will be on the list for help.
I would be interested in seeing a laptop review.
If I were going to spend double what I paid before, I would be looking at a RTX 4070 laptop, because of the power curve.
Laptop review because I do travel a lot for work I have my home set up the way I like but something for the road would be amazing
I'm not a professional and actually i admittedly know nothing about computers. But based on what you said i definitely would recommend a desktop! Definitely you're a desktop man!
for the last pc "xotic" i am more of the guy who would not need the higher end gpu. i dont plan on heavy gaming, this primarily a pc for cad so that would work for me. the idea about telling users what the purpose "looks or function".
Personally when I’m shopping I prefer to go to a high priced pc with the most performance possible and downgrading it a little, instead of having to upgrade absolutely everything. If that makes sense?
Budget is here, but expectations are here... you'll have problems. Welcome to dating in 2024!
You have great content, congrats on the channel. However, you take a long time to get to your purposes if the video. I do appreciate the timestamps.
Also, not sure if you have looked into Alexander pc, I think they are great, but I’m definitely not as smart as you are when it comes to builds!
Brandon misses you!
Hi Braethorn.Your comment concerning the warranty needed to tell the video viewers what the "Read More" portion of the description says if you have the time. Their red print on a black background makes it harder to see. I see any PC case as being just eye candy. In other words, a case is just a case, as all instances perform the same function. If I buy an SI PC, I expect to see a copy of the Test Report that every PC should have. You can check for this if you do a Chat. Many SI PCs have one or more video(s) on CZcams showing a review of the PC you might be interested in purchasing.
I'm glad they are making moves of improvement, but with the last prebuilt that I got from them. I will be building my own and get a much better pc for the same price of there's. I learned the hard way.
Xotic is a scummy business. I can say for a fact they have taken returned/used parts and placed them in new builds and sold them as new. No thanks!
You gotta do what you gotta do to survive... If that's what they got to do to not let their kids starved then who are you to judge them... Obviously you feel your computer needs outweighs the needs of an actual young human life... So sorry if your Minecraft marathon is interrupted because some people got to eat...
I hope Apex is listening to this one.
But they likely aren't lol
