Reviews of the Velocity Micro ProMagix A50
-
CNET Review
The Good: New chassis maintains Velocity Micro's clean system design standards; fast dual-core chip and graphics card will make gamers happy; room for performance upgrades down the road.
The Bad: Some much cheaper (and slower) systems offer a few more features; you may miss having a quad-core chip depending on the applications you use.
The Bottom Line: Velocity Micro keeps to its performance ethic with this new ProMagix A50 desktop. This PC doesn't have a quad-core chip, nor does it want to serve as the hub of your "digital lifestyle." Instead, it promises fast 3D and overall performance, with room to grow. Dedicated PC gamers will appreciate what this system has to offer.
