The machine comes with a bunch of custom paint options for free for customers. Customers can select one of six glossy colors like the red one above. It has up to 32 gigabytes of DDR3-1600MHz main memory and a variety of hard drive options.

For connectivity, ports include USB 3.0 and 2.0, eSATA, Bluetooth, Ethernet, 802.11n, HDMI, and VGA-out ports.
