I waited a long time to get behind the wheel of an iBUYPOWER Slate Mesh Gaming PC. I’ve been covering desktop deals for years now, so this is a brand that has been on my radar often. Since I’m based in the UK and it only services the US and parts of Europe, getting a sample for testing has proven difficult.
Thankfully, this is one of the most widely available PC brands in the States, and they were willing to work with me despite those logistical difficulties. It’s hard to ignore iBUYPOWER if you’re shopping for the best gaming PCs in the US. This is a builder that’s spread its wings wide, servicing the masses across the States with a surprising range of gaming builds fit for budget buyers, all the way up to enthusiasts with enormous 4K ambitions.
If you have any interest in prebuilt gaming PCs, iBUYPOWER has likely been on your radar, and for good reason. The Slate range spans a slew of budget-to-mid-range specs. The version I’m testing for this review is the Slate 8MP 003, which costs $1,499 and is powered by an RTX 4060 Ti and a 14th Gen Intel Core i7-14700F.
Specs Besides the central CPU and GPU components that run the show, your money also gets you 16GB of T-Force DDR5 RAM and a 1TB WD Blue SSD. All of this sits on an ASUS Prime B760M-A AX6 motherboard, which will set you up with a spare M.2 slot for further SSD expansions.
Of course, this particular rig is just one of your options if you’re buying an iBUYPOWER Slate Mesh gaming PC. Also available in the mos.
