Utopia Computers are no stranger to Vortez. We have reviewed their computer systems in the past and it’s fair to say that we have certainly been impressed. Utopia recently had their website completely revamped and with this came a new-look and configuration tool. Take a look at their website here.
Fresh off the back of a new website, Utopia have also been hard at work designing new computer systems for customers and today we will be taking a look at one such offering. Pandora is described by Utopia as ‘the pint-sized powerhouse’. It may not be exactly the size of a pint, but you get the idea – this system is very compact and is able to house high-end components.
Utopia Computers on their Pandora
Introducing the Pandora! 50% smaller than our Ballista system, the Pandora is the 'Tardis' of our PC range. In this tiny chassis we can fit some of the world's fastest components, including Nvidia & AMD's top of the line graphics cards. Constructed using 2.5mm thick, sand-blasted and anodized aluminium, the outer shell of the Pandora lets Utopia set new standards in the small form factor computer systems market. All in all, this tiny-tower is an extremely powerful and aesthetically stunning piece of kit.
Today’s review sample has been configured to showcase the absolute best specification Pandora can offer. Below is our video review of Pandora:
