    Forget about the graphic card. Currently seeing 760 watt power supply. Downgrade from 1000 watt power supply. Better off building your own computer which can last a bit. In addition, base $1400 computer only comes with 8GB memory. They need to make 32GB standard configuration memory option. Selling a computer with 8GB doesn’t qualify to be a gaming computer. 

    no more option to upgrade power supply since its extremely proprietary. 

    finally after many years seeing dual NVME slot.

    For the R13? No, ram latency will still be high. Alder Lake use the same Gearing modes as 11th Gen

    760 vs 1000 isn't apples to apples. All about what the true wattage max the lanes can provide. And their 1000 watt PSU can't do what people think they should

    Psu form factor may be proprietary,  looks more skinny than SFX.

    Motherboard has white 10 pin.  Very likely it is following the ATX12VO standard.

    Another odd shaped motherboard. Forget about case swap or motherboard upgrade.  Like Steve in GN said, another candidate for landfill in the very near future.

    DDR5 has on average twice as high cas latency than DDR4, combine that with Gear 2+ and you are looking at some real high ram latency values
