PRIORITIZED RECOMMENDATIONS

01
KEEP THE CORE CONFIGURATION

The component balance is already well tuned for the selected workload.

02
KEEP THE GPU

Strong performance for the target resolution and workload class.

03
UPGRADE RAM ONLY IF…

32 GB is sufficient for the selected workload — revisit when running large projects or VMs.

THE ABC RULE

DON'T JUST BUILD.
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING.

Investigate the hardware, performance, compatibility and value before you spend your money.
