When you're buying a desktop, you don't want to compromise — it needs to be an "everything machine." You want something that is sleek and professional enough to fit in at an office, but also has enough horsepower to run the AAA games you're diving into after hours. To quote a classic power ballad, you don't want to miss a thing.
Starforge's Explorer Pro and Elite PCs are the kind of comprehensive desktops that will ensure you're not missing out on anything. These are computers built for professionals who work hard and play hard. The sleek exterior will fit into any office and the powerful components, driven by the latest Intel Core Ultra desktop processors, are just as suited to running complex engineering tasks as they are the latest games.
Going pro
Getting a prebuilt machine like the Explorer Pro can change everything from your workflow to your leisure time. With a 2TB SSD, you've got enough space to keep your gaming library close at hand, and the 32GB of RAM will make sure you're moving at a speedy clip.
In addition, the memory controller across the Intel Core Ultra 200S series processors has been completely redesigned, meaning the ceiling has been raised on how fast your computer can go. This increases the workloads your computer can undertake for a wide range of tasks, from gaming to content creation to machine learning. You can expect a boost to your FPS, even if you're recording while streaming.
A computer this powerful is liable to produce a lot of heat, the natural enemy of a computer, but these CPUs provide a more efficient gaming experience. Your PC will run cooler (and quicker). And with DirectX 12 Ultimate, your games will be even more realistic, taking advantage of graphical upgrades like ray tracing and mesh shading. You know you want to see the light reflecting off those puddles. That's immersion, y'all!
Elite energy
Maybe you need more power than the Pro can provide, though. Maybe you're an expert at getting every last bit of juice out of your PC. Maybe you want to be on the absolute cutting edge. If this is the case, you'll want to give the Explorer Elite a look. The RAM takes a jump up to 64GB and, most importantly, the processor is an Intel Core Ultra 9.
The Intel Core Ultra 9 offers more cores and more cache memory, fully unlocking your ability to multitask and maximizing your productivity. Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility (Intel XTU) simplifies overclocking and undervolting, making sure you can get every watt of power out of your machine. Equipped with a GeForce RTX 4090, you can be sure the graphics you're looking at are always top-notch.
The white-glove experience
Pre-built PCs should still feel bespoke. Each Starforge PC is hand-built in the U.S., then hand-shipped to you. In fact, Starforge has partnered with OTK Network to livestream some of its gaming-machine builds. When you order your PC, you'll be entered into a random drawing to potentially watch your system be put together via livestream (you can also opt out if you like).
In addition, if you purchase qualifying Intel products before March 31, 2025, you can get a six-month subscription to Ubisoft+ Classics, allowing you to relive some of your favorite moments in franchises you love. Speaking of beloved franchises, this deal also comes with a copy of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. You don't have to choose between AAA gaming and workstation bliss. Why not have both?
