Hello, can you give me some insight on a work PC good for youtube videos and zoom meeting for working? Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Lenovo Legions and Skytech are the best quality, long lasting prebuilt Desktop brands. They last and use great quality parts. 👍@@My-ASMR-Life
Thank you , I thought I actually was supposed to eat the cables not connect them to the PC.
😂 Good thing those directions kept me from doing that!
Real shit
@JustinTechTips can you add more ram
@spades_fortn bruh it was a joke
wish i read this before i ate the cables 😭
I love how he shows the actual numbers to help us understand.
Numbers don't lie. Without a doubt the most unbiased review right here I love it
I love it when they take a little extra time to get the cable management right.
i satrted out with an IBUYPOWER pc, i have one with 2060 gpu, 16 GB ram t force, and no ssd, and let me tell u...IT CAN GET THE JOB DONE, ive had it for 4 years and ive never had to upgrade it, it plays games like any pc should, it pkays games u want, what more do u want a pc to do for u then to be aboe to just play games like grounded, elden ring gta 5, ect. This pc can EASILY handle big games with alot of frame rates, again im happy that i have a pc that can do all that at such a little of a price, i will never understand why people need such excessive unneeded stuff in thier pc, we all want the same goal which is to play games, my saying is "if it can play games i dont need to upgrade until im forced to for an update". I love how i spend such less for a pc that can do the job as easily as any other pc out there, it plays games like any other pc.
Glad you're enjoying it Darkloard! Yeah 4 years with no issues and heavy gaming.. I'd say you've got a pretty solid machine!
Dude such a good response. I’m okay with any PC that can run anything over 120 and actually performs good with decent quality. I could care less about any upgrades or parts that aren’t really necessary. Story games imma stick to my ps5, but fps games are pc for me
Thanks for making thees types of videos! They are helpful!
Glad you like them! Many more better reviews to come in 2023!
thx for the info as always
happy new year
count me in
Soon as he whipped out the thermal scan I knew this was finna be a GAS review 😭👏🏾
Omg thank you SO much for posting this. This is 1 of the best reviews I've seen for this PC brand because I'm actually gonna be getting 1 very very soon, like a few days or so kind of soon and I'm so excited 😆. It's the same brand just it's the iBUYPOWER Tower Slate Mesh i5 RTX 4060 but I just wanted to make sure the brand was at least somewhat reliable. Like it may not be what I was going for about a year ago but it'll be good for a starter 1. I'm gonna do streaming or content creation or both so I'm gonna get a 2nd 1 next year to help out with the streaming aspect but this will suffice for now at an affordable price.
I bought this back in February as a streaming and video editing PC. I play on an Xbox Series X. This was a great starting option for a new streamer. I found out that Best Buy lets you checkout online using AMEX points, so this only cost me like $200 out of pocket. I'd say the review after 10 months of usage is spot on.
I upgraded to 32gb of DDR4 immediately. I actually added the ram to the shopping cart with this purchase. I've since upgraded to 6TB of SSD, swapping the original 500gb for a 2TB and adding a 2nd SSD of 4TB in the free slot. I upgraded the ram again to 128gb (4x32gb) of RGB DDR4. And last, but certainly not least, I upgraded the GPU to an RTX 4060ti 16gb. I wanted a 40 Series for the AV1 codec, but didn't want to go too crazy as I'm not actually gaming on it and primarily using it for streaming and editing.
You're definitely right about having the space to make upgrades. Overall, I'm really really pleased with this PC.
How you upgrade this pc I just bought it last week want to improve the performance in this pc
@@Chosenfew_0129 what specifically are you looking to upgrade? I just found youtube videos for the components I was looking to swap/upgrade and followed the directions. I have a Ph.D from RUclips University, lol
I'm surprised they actually made a front panel that could breath unlike their other prebuilts
Kinda breathe... it's not the best
Gotta say I had an ibuypower machine from back in 2019 and I'm finally looking to upgrade it. Been gaming for years and got me through college in 3d design. So heavy / demanding usage.
Prices have gotten better but back then for 3k it lasted almost 5 years still works but not keeping up with latest games and tech. I say good stuff..
i just purchased a ibuypower slatemesh with the ryzen 7 7700x and a rtx 4070 im excited to see the specs and everything, it’s my first pc but this video really helped to see what the capabilities are for different pcs i was going to build but i saw the upgradeable capabilities and thought why not. Very good review and video 👍
Omg, i want to buy that exact model too, can you tell me how good it runs?
yo hows the pc?
Any updates?
@@psychojawar7990seems the pc sucked him into it. Im curious how it is
why do you reckon the performance is low? is the gpu and cpu the problem? ive been hoping to get this pc but planning to upgrade the RAM as i thought that was the only problem but it seems to be lacking a lot in the performance department
Happy new year bro
A question, I have this pc and I want to change the LED light and I haven't been able to, do you know any application or the rgb application of this pc? Thank you
I love your videos keep doing your thing
Do you plan on doing a review of the Corsair Vengeance i7400?
Hey Justin started watching you cause I'm looking to by a PC but don't wanna spend a ton of money on it do you have any idea of anything thats around the 1300/1500 price range that can run rust well cause I can't find anyone that post anything about it. Plus idk anything about pcs
I have a Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop, would this be a good upgrade?
Happy New year
Can I upgrade to a 4080 and Corsair rmx power supply?
Ay! There's one at my local Walmart, would that be the same?
I have the same pc but for some reason it’s very glitchy and shuts off all the time. Do u know y that is?
The best-unbiased tech reviewer on RUclips. 👍🏽
Wow, thanks Tonny!
what is the best gaming pc you have tested
How much do you expect thing upgrade would cost. They said the parts should be cheaper and easy to upgrade.
so is it a good pc to buy, bc i need a pc and i dont know if this is a good one.
How do I setup the two cables that come with it?
hey did you know this model Iburpower SlateMeshI5N4601? i want to know how many memory have nvidia 3060?
I have this one. Just got it 2 days ago. I’m a streamer. I’m not very tech savvy. I have a $150 elgato capture card. Is it needed to be hooked up or is there a built in one?
I've had this PC for almost a year .. it's a work horse for me that a stream and game from .. the performance is a little bit low . But like you said for the price it's been great . Good review!
You stream and play at the same time with no problems?
Maybe do review of top-tier HP w/4090
Thanks looks cool
What is a good computer for iRacing
is this pc good for video editing ?
I got 2000 max 2 spend what pre build pc from ibuypower should I get
I just got one used for $425, this is my first PC.. super happy I ended up buying it
how to add Sata hard drive to this BUYPOWER SlateMesh Gaming Desktop ?
How do I get the glass panel off I see no screws
I bought this exact PC for 999 on best buy black friday deals and Its pretty good for me!
I wish i wasnt broke so i could buy this or a different, cant find a good one for a cheap price, prob gonna get the acer nitro 5, your video on that was very helpful
Have you reviewed the iBUYPOWER - SlateMesh Gaming Desktop - Intel Core i9-13900KF - 32GB DDR5 RGB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12GB - 1TB NVMe SSD - Black
what pc could i use to run like fortnite and other popular games AND schoolwork (not too expensive)
My ipower pc doesn’t have a dvi port or display port (please help it’s my first time having a pc😭)
I purched an IBuyPower pc in 2020 when you couldn't get any pc parts. I got a i9 10900k, z490 pro motherboard, 240 aio and a 2070S. The price was reasonably at $2000 ish however, the Aio died within a year and the case had horrible thermals with no airflow. Overall I'm happy with the purchase just replace the Aio with a reputable brand.
should i buy from ibuypower??
theres a small flashing red light on top of my PC similar to this one with a icon that i dont recognize and it just flashes but i have no idea what it indicates, and i cant find the manual to tell me what it is. it flashes connected to internet or not, any ideas ?
That just means it's writing data to the discs, no worries!
What’s your opinion on the iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop SlateMR295A - AMD Ryzen 3 3100, 8GB DDR4 3000, RX550 2GB, 500GB NVMe SSD, Windows 11 Home??
Just bought this today at Best Buy for my 13 year old son who is just getting into gaming on PC. I saw the Cyber PC and the Best Buy tech told me to buy this one. Wish I saw this video first. Now, should I return this and get the. Cyber instead? Or is this good for an intro PC for him? Thanks in advance! Merry Christmas
Get the Cyber, more bang for your buck!
I got this at Best Buy on black friday for $974.99 before tax and it works great for me(I haven't upgraded my monitor so I play at 1080p) but my only concern is the cpu fan ramps up for a second everytime I open something as simple as task manager, is this normal on this pc?
That could be the Ibuypower cpu fan as there name brand coolers are absolutely junk.. i got a rtx 3080 one with a aio liquid cooler and within 2 weeks it was junk had to buy a new aio
I'd like to know horizon chips better in gaming desktops than I sevens and I'm not can you Off your consoles with it the next generation ones and can you set up donation pages and OBS with it And is windows 11 or Windows 10 better for one or the other pro version What size of SSDD recommend
so I bought one and I have these extra cables in there. Don’t know where they go. Please respond hopefully you can help!!
What’s the mouse called ?
How smooth could it run fortnite on low settings?
Any way you can break this down for people that don't speak PC? I'm looking to get a PC, but have 0 clue on what to look for, or what anything means.
But how good is the newer version Walmart sells with the 4060?
Just bought it and still trying to figure it out black screen and crashes
Ive just bought this pc and ive been going through crashes where my kbm lights turn off, my screen freezes but my pc lights stay on. Ive tried to overclock my ram and everything. Could someone help me.
Will you be doing any next gen laptops like 40 series mobile laptops when they come out
I plan to! Hopefully they release some soon! I'm very curious how they are going to squeeze that down into a laptop
Yea it is going to be some crazy optimization I bet to get more power without getting much more hotter considering most laptops run around 80 to 90 degrees already or maybe we will see thick laptops like the good old days of laptops
@@JustinTechTips can’t wait to see your coverage of next gen laptops
Yeah I'm really hoping they stop making these next gen laptops thinner. It's so stupid they keep doing that. Gamers don't mind a bit of bulk for the best performance
I have one of those pieces in a question why is my games I download takes forever
what PC should I get for running warzone, GTA RP, Seige, and also want to do normal things like listen to music, and do work?
The slate 6 mesh with i5 13600kf, 16gb ddr5 5200mhz ram, and a RTX 4060 8GB
Would this be good for someone going to college and that would like to stream Fortnite and call of duty and do photoshop
My only question. Will it run UE5?
Got the 8gb version & I love it already let me watch this review
Ge76 or ge77hx?
its 1000$ dollars for the iBuypower Intel Core i7-13700 nvidia geforce rtx 4060 right now...debating getting this pc...what do you think?
At costco? This one's a steal (worth around $1200 when everything added up, $300 off right now at costco): iBUYPOWER Slate Mesh Gaming Desktop - 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700F - GeForce RTX 3060Ti - Windows 11
I have the same thing but with rtx 4060 and it runs perfect (also great video)
does it run black ops 1 and 2 at smooth 60 fps?
what games do you play and recommend starting out for a 4060 rtx
But will I get at least 150 fps on minecraft
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Windforce OC - 8GB GDDR6 [Refurbished] asrock a320m hdv r4.0 and ryzen 5 2600 my system can support that graphics card sir ?
Most satisfying purchase I’ve made. Really great PC
So should i get it ?? It is good for running roblox games
@@Dave.324 roblox yes, excellent quality and no crashing as far as I have played.
Is this a budget pc ? On the site Best Buy it said 3060 is high end
No this definitely is a budget PC. Not high end
I have that computer, but the RGB lights on the fans are not working. The prongs have a loose connection, if you bend them or push on them, the lights automatically go to yellow. And it keeps fading to a darker red every now and again. The RGB fusion app is not working, but I'm mainly concered about fixing the RGB lights. any idea on how to fix them?
When did you purchase it. Im picking up one from best buy today. Hoping this doesnt happens
@@LuccianoNova I think it was around some time in August last year, I don’t think it will happen to you too. It seems like a one time thing.
@@JvmezPlayz yeah mine seems to be A-Ok👍
@@LuccianoNova nice!
Is ibuypower a good brand will this computer last me for many years? Or do they break down fast?
My pc was bought back in 2016 and it's working fast still.
What is the best monitor to use
@Anthonycoolj25 that depends on your budget. How much is too much on a monitor for you?
Good thing I saw this video
Why can’t I find call of duty in the Xbox store I just purchased it and can’t find it
Does it make any difference if mines the same one but a i5 not a i7
Yes
fps?
It's now 1,050.00 for labor day sale. Just picked one up for my son's birthday. I'm sure it will be much better then his Dell that doesn't even have a graphics card.
Now $720 plus taxes which is 780 some that’s what I pay for it
Hey Justin u probably don’t remember me I haven’t been active lately because I have been busy I still love your channel and I’m trying to keep up again, sorry I haven’t been able to watch much
Just have your significant other stop going to starbucks for a couple weeks🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what monitors can it handle?
I got a Onn 165hz curved 27 inch running on it
You're right, it's my boyfriend's fault for going to Starbucks too much. He really needs to lay off the grande pink drinks
Found one of these locally at a store but it has a i7-12700kf 32gb of ram a 2tb ssd and a 4060ti is it worth it for 1249?
Is it DDR5?
@@Bobcrowly1488 it is 4 unfortunately

Can I have this pc
What is a good gaming pc for Fortnite and call of duty ?
Fortnite is kinda balanced with CPU & GPU, but COD is more GPU heavy, If your budget is above $1000, then get an i7 or ryzen 7 and a 40 series GPU (if you're playing more COD than Fortnite) or a 30 series (more Fortnite than COD), if it's below $1000, get i7 or ryzen 7 if possible, and a 30 series GPU

It's 1195 now
What about this one. I bought it last night from Costco for $1200 with the $200 off sale priced at $1400. It looks better than this one reviewed and has a better video card, processor, and 32GB of ram.
ibuypower slate mesh rtx 3060 i7-13700f
Is it $1200 because of tax? It says $1100 on the site
@@RuTo94 no bro. I just checked the site again now. Make sure you are reading the right model, processor, etc bc they have models that look close that aren't the same. Perhaps it's location bc I'm looking through my app on my account. it's $1199 which is in essence, $1200. Exact price as I'm reading my receipt right now is $1399.99, $200 discount. $1199.99+$93= $1292.99.
I just bought that pc I rlly don’t care about the design I just need a new pc cuz mine is hacked
What THEY don't tell you or even display facts on their BOX is: Windows 11 is on SSD card, BUT YOU HAVE TO BUY THE KEY from Microsoft - $150 Bucks to activate WINDOWS 11. SMH
No that’s not at all true. Where did you hear that? No prebuilt PC I’ve ever bought made me have to pay extra money to activate Windows. I don’t know where you bought your PC from, but it sounds like you got scammed
👌🏼🔥👍
“Budget” 💀
Should I trade my ps5 for it ?
NOO you're PS5 is worth money, keep it for new games coming out, especially exclusives. You don't have to fk with anything, just play. These gaming PC's lose their value as soon as you open the box. 90% of gamers are not interested in these. So even if you sold it for $500 no one would buy it. They just don't hold their value brother. Stick to consoles. :)
