Reviews of the Velocity Micro ProMagix E2055
-
CNET Review
The Good: Attractive, compact new case; fast application performance; wireless networking capability
The Bad: Slow 3D scores compared with less expensive desktops; you can find comparable desktops for significantly less; smaller case limits expansion options.
The Bottom Line: Not every PC has to be a decent gaming box, but regardless, we expect them to be priced appropriately. Velocity Micro's ProMagix E2055 looks great and does well on some tests, but its gaming scores and its overall bang-for-the-buck fall short.
