Meet the Illegear Ares X. Those of you wanting to get a desktop but don’t want to sacrifice portability, you might want to consider the Illegear Ares X. Claimed to be a desktop PC replacement, the Ares X features the portability and aesthetics of a laptop, but with the power and capacity of a desktop.
Illegear Ares X
Running on the latest 10th generation Intel Core i9 processor, it is also paired with up to Nvidia GeForce RTX2080 Super GPU. The interesting thing is the CPU and GPU is fully modular, so you can easily replace them to upgrade in the future. But to do so, you might need to contact Illegear rather than doing it yourself. When it comes to RAM, this beast can take on up to 128GB of RAM
ARES X is also powered by NVIDIA’s G-SYNC technology to deliver astounding visual results especially under extreme gaming conditions. The technology synchronizes ARES X’s screen response time with its graphics card to ensure visuals are rendered in harmony. The result: smoother and faster visuals with minimal screen tearing or lag.
Never let storage space hold you back again. Install all the extreme titles or store and process large files, or do both and still have space to spare. Designed for the big leagues, ARES X is engineered with 4x M.2 2280 SSD slots allowing for a maximum total capacity of 8TB.
