Velocity Micro launches Raptor ES40 compact gaming PC with powerful specs

Velocity Micro has launched the Raptor ES40, a compact gaming PC designed for portability and performance. It features a mini-ITX chassis with a carry handle, making it easy to transport. The system includes an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor and an Asus RTX 4070 Super graphics card. The Raptor ES40 offers effective cooling in a small form factor, outperforming larger systems in temperature management. However, it uses a basic Gigabyte A620I motherboard, which may limit future upgrades. The system is priced at $2,519, which is higher than similar models. While the Raptor ES40 excels in gaming performance, its storage options are limited to a 2 TB SSD and two SATA ports. Despite the price premium for a compact design, it remains a strong choice for gamers seeking a powerful, portable PC.
