iBuyPower Slate Gaming Desktop review: Strong gaming value and extras
Tom's Hardware Verdict The iBuyPower Slate is a well-executed mid-range gaming desktop that pairs attractive styling, thoughtful extras, and strong RTX 5070-powered gaming performance. The $1,999 iBuyPower Slate arrives with a formula that's hard to argue with: an RTX 5070, a Ryzen 7 7700X3D, a 360mm liquid cooler, and a tempered-glass chassis with plenty of RGB lighting. It even goes beyond expectations by including gaming peripherals that don't feel like afterthoughts.But in an increasingly competitive mid-range desktop market, attractive extras and gaming prowess alone aren't always enough.
