Intel Core Ultra 7 265 (1.8GHz) Processor
16GB DDR5-5200 RAM
Intel Graphics Integrated Graphics
1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
2.5GbE LAN, 2x2 WiFi 7 (802.11be), Bluetooth 5.4
Windows 11 Home

I am not very computer savvy but looking for a new desktop to replace my 7 year old unit. Seems like a good deal if you are NOT wanting a gaming computer (which I do not) as it lack a graphics card. Seems like a lot of good expandability (which will help as I will probably have this for 5+ years), modern CPU (Ultra 7), 1TB SSD HD, a Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port + HDMI to enable due 4K monitors. I use my desktop daily / heavily for remote work, data curation, and creative content. Any thoughts / feedback on this computer and/or if it would meet my needs would be graciously accepted.

Why so expensive? Looking at the hardware, nothing special. No 32+ gig of ram no 2tb HHD no dedicated graphic card. With this config, I wouldn't pay more than $650

It's the power supply.

460W 80Plus Platinum specifically designed to handle this system.

Doesn't come cheap for luddites who overpower everything.

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/c...50-desktop is the same price after the 10% coupon and likely less with rebate sites and comes with a dgpu. Not a good one but still better.
