The iBuypower Slate Gaming PC is now available for EUR 776 during Best Buy’s Labor Day sales, a EUR 259 discount off its EUR 1,035 list price. Powered by Intel Arc B570 graphics, this budget desktop is aimed at gamers who want a capable 1080p system without stretching their wallets.
The price cut lands at a moment when PC component costs are climbing, making prebuilt systems an increasingly attractive option for buyers in the United States.
What’s Inside the iBuypower Slate
The Slate ships with a 10-core, 10-thread Intel Core Ultra 5 225F processor paired with an Intel Arc B570 graphics card featuring 10GB of VRAM. Rounding out the build are 16GB of DDR5 memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD for storage. That combination is well suited to 1080p gaming, delivering enough headroom for high and ultra settings.
The 10GB of VRAM is ample for 1080p textures and shaders, though the card will begin to struggle at 1440p as the memory fills and the CPU takes on additional load. The B570 is a budget GPU, but driver optimizations and broader game compatibility since launch have improved its standing. In rasterization benchmarks, it sits in the middle of the pack, competing with the Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB.
Why Prebuilt Makes Sense Right Now
Buying a prebuilt gaming PC is currently cheaper than assembling one from scratch, largely because of rising memory and storage prices. System builders can source components at lower costs than individual consumers and have used existing stock to offset recent increases. Those conditions are unlikely to hold, so waiting could mean paying more later.
Prebuilt machines also simplify warranty coverage. If something fails, the entire system is covered under one warranty, sparing owners the hassle of troubleshooting individual parts or filing separate RMA claims with different manufacturers.
A Starter System for 1080p Gaming
At EUR 776, the Slate serves as a practical entry point for newcomers to PC gaming or console owners looking to escape higher hardware and digital game prices. Game purchases on PC also tend to run cheaper than on consoles.
