I came across this Omnidesk Desktop AI Black Friday deal while writing another one on a Lenovo Thinkcentre (see below).
Cutting to the chase, it comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD and an Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 with 8GB VRAM for $960, that's a saving of $590 or 37%.
Given that the four main components - B860 motherboard ($120), CPU ($316), SSD ($150) and GPU(280) - cost just a bit less than whole PC itself, I believe a stonking deal.
It also has the most front-facing ports I've seen on a PC lately (seven), the most USB I've counted on a normal PC (10) and the most ports overall (16).
In a nutshell, you get a desktop that's good enough for creative tasks, business use cases and mainstream gaming. And cherry on the case, it sports one of the best looking casings I've seen in a while (yes, it's obviously subjective).
Speaking of which, HP claims that this PC is made up of 85% recycled material (either plastic or metal) and is easily upgradable (see video above).
The 265F has the second-highest Thread Mark score of any sub-100w CPU on the popular CPU Benchmark leaderboard, significantly outperforming AMD's Ryzen 9 9xxx processors and highlighting its fantastic single-thread capabilities.
And with a CPU Mark score of just under 50,000, it is the third best-performing Intel CPU behind the more expensive 285 and 265.
