Buying a 2004 Dell Axim X50v for eight dollars and expecting usable 3D gaming feels like a long shot from the start. Rayly Retro picked up one of these Pocket PCs anyway, drawn by the Intel 2700G graphics chip that came with dedicated video memory and was meant to push sharper visuals than the usual software rendering of the era. Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition sits on the device, paired with a 624 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM, and a 3.7-inch VGA screen that once stood out among its peers.
Dell has shaped its XPS line into new territory with a mini PC that brings together NVIDIA RTX Spark technology and a chassis styled after the Mac Studio.

A dark gray finish covers the boxy form, with ventilation slots running along the sides to keep temperatures in check during extended work sessions. A removable lid on the underside opens access to the internal storage drive, allowing straightforward upgrades without special tools or disassembly of the whole unit.
