This is better than the deal on Best Buy business right now. Looks like a steak with a decent graphics card. Going to maybe want to upgrade the cooling and maybe the PSU. Curious to see what I am missing in the comments Smilie already in for one

Steak with a decent graphics card. What more could a guy want?

Though you might want to at least include the type of card.

A2000, Which is comparable to a 3050.

There have been (and likely will still be) plenty of 12th gen intel CPU paired with 3060 deals that will be far cheaper than this.

This is not a gaming computer, it is a workstation.

And? You can get a better spec'd or similarly spec'd "gaming computer" for cheaper. Durr.

For example: The Alienware Aurora "gaming computer" is the same as an XPS "workstation". You can get more or less the exact same components. The Precision 3660 is the same chassis as the XPS 8950 as well. Just not understanding the value on a "workstation" being better when they share the same components.

I could see there being a software benefit, Im guessing Vpro is enabled on Windows Enterprise (though this system ships with Pro) and maybe not on Windows Home. But I don't even see the buyers of these systems utilizing it, let alone an IT dept.

What else am I missing, other than a label slapped on a PC?
