Lenovo sets computer to stun, shows off Star Trek Enterprise PC

As the result of what we can only assume was a Star Trek-induced Netflix binge, the design team at Lenovo showcased its latest addition to the PC market, and it’s in the shape of the USS Enterprise. Modeled after the 23rd-century Federation starship, the Lenovo Titanium Enterprise NCC-1701A is a massive metal construction PC poised to freeze Star Trek fans in their tracks. The exterior design of the machine isn’t all that’s impressive, either, taking a look inside reveals quite a few surprises.

Avid Star Trek fans may be quick to point out that the PC doesn’t quite match the design of the Enterprise, but rest assured, Lenovo named the machine accordingly, and it matches the USS starship as close as possible while fitting in all the needed pieces. After all, where else would you fit in Nvidia’ next-generation GeForce RTX 2080 graphics? That’s right; there is more than just a warp core onboard this ship.

The Lenovo Enterprise PC comes stocked with the aforementioned GeForce RTX 2080 GPU, an overclocked ninth-generation Intel CPU, 32GB of DDR4 memory, a 1 TB M.2 SSD, and a 2 TB HDD. The Enterprise is also set to receive transmissions with a custom high-performance LAN and Wi-Fi setup. It has been made clear that this PC isn’t just a showpiece; it is aimed at serious gamers with a bit of a Star Trek obsession.

The Star Trek dream PC was unveiled in China at Lenovo’s Beijing Tech World Conference and has been receiving attention for its unique design. Beyond the standard specifications we would expect to find on a desktop PC, Lenovo has also managed to fit in a few surprises including LED lighting and a mini projector. We aren’t sure if you will be taking this machine into the boardroom anytime soon, but if you choose to do so, know that you will be able to present a killer PowerPoint.

Trekkies looking to purchase the PC starship will find it starting for around $2,180, but it is only available in China. Lenovo has yet to comment whether or not the Titanium Enterprise will be traveling to any other countries. Until then, we can at least relish in the fact that Lenovo has boldly gone where no computer manufacturer has gone before.

Elden Ring PC performance: best settings, fps cap, and stuttering fixes
Elden Ring running on the Asus ROG PG42UQ.

Elden Ring just received a massive update. The new Shadow of the Erdtree expansion is like an entirely new game, so I dove back into the Lands Between to see where Elden Ring is at on PC. The game has seen numerous updates since launch that improve stuttering, add ray tracing, and more.

Still, you'll need the best settings for Elden Ring if you want to get the most out of the game. I've spent hundreds of hours in the game at this point, and in that time, I've learned not only how to optimize performance on PC but also how to remove the frame rate cap, fix stuttering, and add features like upscaling and frame generation to the game.

I’m attending the world’s biggest PC show next week. Here’s why I’m so excited
Computex 2024 logo.

Computex will be big this year. Coming off a seismic shift in the world of PCs just a week ago with the introduction of Copilot+, Computex is the perfect place for the rest of the industry to show off what it’s been up to. This year, I’ll be on the ground in Taipei City, Taiwan, and there are some key products I expect to see.

It won’t be long before we have all the juicy details on what AMD, Intel, and Nvidia have been working on, with the show going from June 4 to June 7. There are already plenty of breadcrumbs for what we could see get announced though, so let's get into it.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 PC performance: best settings, crashing, stuttering
An archer fires an arrow at an enemy in Dragon's Dogma 2.

I had high hopes for Dragon's Dogma 2. Capcom has hit a few stumbles on PC over its last several releases, but the resilient RE Engine that's behind its slate of titles has always shined through. The highly scalable engine is what allows Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil 4 to run on everything from an RTX 4090 down to a Steam Deck, and it's what squeezes playable frame rates out of Monster Hunter Rise on hardware as weak as the Nintendo Switch.

The RE Engine looks terrible in Dragon's Dogma 2, however. I can verify that the game does indeed slam your CPU hard, bringing even the most powerful PC hardware to its knees with no recourse in the graphics options. Over the past several years, the RE Engine has cemented itself as one of the most stable, scalable game engines around, but Dragon's Dogma 2 challenges that narrative in a big way.
