Introduced on April 30, this desktop runs on AMD’s Epyc line of processors and comes with a variety of graphics processor options. Customers who want the highest performance can configure the PC with up to 256GB of onboard RAM. Those components, coupled with Velocity Micro’s policy of shipping its computers without a lot of software and utility add-ons, also known and bloatware, means buyers are getting computers that can be configured to suit their needs. This slide show will discuss the features in the ProMagix HD150 that might convince some buyers to pay a bit more for a business PC.
