Stock memory limits CPU-heavy work 1x 32GB stock memory
Robtech found that the factory single-DIMM layout depressed Geekbench multi-core, H.264 encoding, Linux code compilation, Photoshop, and Premiere results. Those workloads improved after replacing the stock 1x32GB module with a two-module kit and increasing the CPU power limit.

Resolution tradeoff 1080p native; 1440p tuned
Robtech concluded that native AAA gaming is best targeted at 1080p; higher resolutions generally require DLSS or lower detail settings. Craft Computing likewise found the 8GB VRAM limit required Medium settings in some demanding 1440p games.

Replaceable desktop GPU Low-profile PCIe GPU
The RTX 5060 is a standard low-profile desktop card in an internal PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. Reviewers considered a future same-size replacement plausible, but the proprietary rear opening and 350W supply limit compatibility.
