      • jasswolf on 12/08/2023 - 19:18
        +2

        This is the problem with OP's deal notes, it has no regard for matching up CPU and GPU performance. I saw him excessively crapping on the 4070 too when it's about 80-85% of the 4070 Ti's performance. Sure, it should have been at most a 4060 Ti card, but the design of the card itself is fine.

        The 4070 Ti is the stronger GPU, and will get stronger going forward. Within this group of choices, CPU will make no difference outside of 1080p gaming bar a small handful of games that aren't driving for max frame rates, you'd just ideally want to be on a platform with DDR5 and PCIE 5.0 support.

      • congo on 13/08/2023 - 08:50

        So about $1100 for the GPU and $900 for the rest?

    • The usual prebuilt bargain basement component complaints in regards to memory, nvme ssd and hard drive.
    • I like turtles
    • I think they hide away quite a few bios options (Might be unlockable with a key sequence like on their laptops, might not be)
    • Miami Mall Alien on 12/08/2023 - 15:38

      ^ This.

      There's nothing wrong with the specs/pricing of this build on paper however there's everything wrong with Lenovo, OEM mobos, sh*tty vendor-locked BIOS/UEFI configs and no-name brand, lucky dip PSU/memory/storage components.

      I wouldn't buy pre-built OEM PCs in the first place but I especially wouldn't buy pre-built Lenovo PCs given their historical tendency to do shady sh*t with their devices' firmware, the never-ending critical hardware-level vulnerabilities that keep being discovered and being the worst offender out of all OEMS when it comes to bundling outright malware/spyware with new computers on top of the lengthy list of bloatware they love to include with all new computers (great write-up on the Lenovo Superfish scandal here).

      I've also seen a pretty high rate of failure with new Lenovo laptops at work in the last 2 years (on a scale of hundreds), whether they're low-end or high-end, which doesn't inspire me with confidence in their products' reliability/longevity.

      • lyl-Lychee on 12/08/2023 - 19:00

        ^ Massive thank you for that. Saved me from second-guessing the BPCT build.

      • FujinShu on 12/08/2023 - 21:01

        Maybe just nuke all the hard drives and SSDs and fresh-install Windows or any other OS before you use the system. Best way to get rid of all OEM crapware on the system.

        • Miami Mall Alien on 12/08/2023 - 23:27
          +5

          That does nothing to remedy the vendor-locked UEFI config, the proprietary mobo, the questionable non-big ticket parts, the lack of upgradeability and limited compatibility with any future mods and Lenovo's trademark habit of treating their customers' products like their own decentralised NSA server farm (reimaging won't remove UEFI or firmware-embedded malware/spyware nor hardware-level vulnerabilities).

          I'd rather just take off and nuke Lenovo from orbit spend a few hundred more dollars and either get a fully custom pre-built rig or DIY your own, with none of the above limitations.

          • jkim on 13/08/2023 - 01:28

            @Miami Mall Alien: Spending a few hundred more for upgradability is dumb. The vendor lock in is from mb, and sometimes psu with proprietary conneector to mb. All other parts can be reused. I'd say the value of the upgrade limit is around 200 (sell mb and get a diff matx or itx mb) … i.e go custom if you get equivalent build for 2200 or less but get this and replace mb if it will cost you more than 2.2k.

            • Miami Mall Alien on 13/08/2023 - 14:04

              @jkim:

              The vendor lock in is from mb, and sometimes psu with proprietary conneector to mb.

              Yeah that's the whole problem, you don't know which parts are going to be weird Lenovo-specific junk that doesn't work in a normal ATX mobo/case or with regular off-the-shelf parts, until you actually test it out.

              And it's more than just the motherboard being proprietary, as the UEFI config probably can't be customised either which means no proper OC'ing or changing other performance settings.

              For an investment that should last 4-5 years at least, which most users are going to want to upgrade over time, spending a few hundred more to eliminate all of the potential vendor lock-in issues is a small price to pay. An extra $400 averages out to nothing over 4-5 years.

              There's an obvious reason Lenovo can offer a PC with these specs for less than almost all competitors and it's because they're skimping out on everything other than the big ticket parts and because they recoup manufacturing losses by data-mining the sh*t out of their customers to resell their information to 3rd-parties.

              • jkim on 13/08/2023 - 14:23

                @Miami Mall Alien: It's just the mb. The bios/uefi lives on the mb. Extra 400 is stupid.

      100%, but given the Legion laptops are usually top class in terms of cooling design/etc…, I'm willing to give Lenovo a bit of a leeway on this one. Even the older Legion 5i that GamerNexus reviewed that has issues is way above the shit that HP and Alienware/Dell pushes out, proprietary mobo and PSU(?, I'm not sure actually, since in the GamerNexus tear down it looks ATX-sized, but connector might be proprietary) aside its clear that they actually put some thought into that thing, like a proper tower cooler and having enough fans for proper airflow (minus the fact that the front is a solid plastic wall, but they fixed that with the model in the deal by putting a mesh front on it).

      My biggest concern is the mobo + 12900K combo, but I guess the locked down mobo is going to lock the chip's power limit so it shouldn't be a problem.

    The way Dell and Lenovo are headed, they’ll end up becoming purely just a place for enterprise companies to dump all of their tech OPEX with very little benefit to the purchasing company. Their consumer products are so full of down clocking, cheap components, thermal throttling, proprietary parts, bloat ware and shady warranty upsells it’s a disgrace.

    Worse still, they’re never truly investigated in a regulatory sense against what should be acceptable practices.

    Can I upgrade the SSDs without voiding the warranty?

    Has anyone else been contacted by Lenovo and denied the sale because of a 'Website error'?

      Yep just now. Offered an alternative for $2,300, a Thinkstation P3 Tower with a Nvidia A2000. When I asked, isn't that a professional machine, not a gaming machine: "no no, it is definitely for gaming".

      Very disappointed.

      • timmysbiscuits on 14/08/2023 - 16:57

        I'm so gutted, man. I was really looking forward to it.

    • Riczter on 14/08/2023 - 17:09

      • blackjack_09 on 14/08/2023 - 17:11
