        Both are part of intels era of releasing "new" skylake based chips every year with 1000 more numbers, only difference is the 100mhz clock bump.

        I'd also look at Optiplex 7060 SFF models, plenty of those around the 250-300 mark.

        They include 8400 and 9400F benchmarks here: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-i5-10400f/21.h…

        They are almost identical CPUs with extremely minor enhancements in the 9400. Can't tell if you are taking the piss or are just uneducated on this.

            @abctoz: It is well known Intel struggled to get their 10nm process working and continued to milk customers with their 14nm CPUs for ages. The 8th gen was a necessity at the time to deal with the rise of AMD Ryzen. 9th gen was widely considered a disappointment.

            Have a look at Intel product pages for i5-8400 and i5-9400. Intel used the same family / core (code name: Coffee Lake).
            Intel i5-8400
            Intel i5-9400

            For 10th gen, at least Intel did move to a newer core, Comet Lake (more like a newer revision).
            Intel i5-10400

            The TechPowerUp performance charts do accurately show the performance of those CPUs. Intel was late on some of the 8th gen CPUs (especially mobile CPUs) so 8th gen CPUs had both Kaby Lake Refresh and Coffee Lake ones.

            Intel really had no answer until 12th gen. It's widely known that there isn't significant difference between 8th gen to 11th gen Intel CPUs. The only good thing about 11th gen is that due to Apple stop using Intel CPUs and Intel knew what Apple was up to (from Apple's intended use of Thunderbolt 4), Intel finally put 4K/60Hz HDMI support (+ 8K support on DisplayPort) in its UHD graphics for 11th gen. Again, it was more a necessity, otherwise Intel 11th gen mobile offerings with Thunderbolt 4 stuck with 1 DisplayPort + a hacked bridge chip to do 4K/60Hz HDMI would be a big joke compared to Apple Silicon (for 5 years in a row prior to that, Intel was so arrogant not to upgrade UHD graphics to fix that).

    I wouldn't buy from this crowd again, the laptop they shipped me was disgusting, keyboard didn't work correctly, overall very disappointed and they must have emails going to the bin for people asking for refunds.

  • abctoz on 03/03/2024 - 15:32

    apparently the atx versions sell like hotcakes because you can just stick a gpu in and flip it for a profit, and Lenovo forgot to put restrictions in like all the other big players

    • Presence on 03/03/2024 - 16:07

      What restrictions do others put in place?

      Most ATX workstations had Quadro cards as options so it's not like they don't want GPUs installed.

      • abctoz on 03/03/2024 - 16:23

        think it was said by the guy from tech yes city he is like the mafia boss of pc flippers, the atx models are like constantly out of stock lol

        all the other players made it hard so ppl would have to upgrade, Lenovo forgot and now they getting flak for trying to convince ppl they need to upgrade lol

  • Presence on 03/03/2024 - 16:05

    These would be great for a basic gaming set up but there are almost no up to date half height GPUs.

    I've got a 1050Ti in an older system similar to this but can't find anything much better? Anyone got any advice?

      About the only thing I can find that will fit is this Intel Arc A380. For the price, $220 new, it's actually not a bad card. Will definitely play some games and doesn't require external power.
      https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/N2NYcf/sparkle-genie-arc…

      Gamers Nexus benchmarks from two weeks ago.

      Arc A380 tested in 28 games
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mii5_eU23Y

      you can get a 4060 for $489 but it won't fit, too long, specs sheet says max length is 148mm

          If it's that easy, why you don't you suggest something low-profile and <148mm ?

            @jonathonsunshine: I already did, look at my comment above. Excluding the A2000 because that appears to be slightly too long.

                  @ldd-mn: It shows them sorted by length & the shortest low profile is 155mm and the spec is <148mm. Maybe you could force it in. PC parts just lurve being forced into spaces they don't fit… And recent youtube benchmarks show the 1650 and rx 6400 on par with the A380 and also costing 50 to 60 more.

                  I guess it is easy to recommend a card that's better than the a380 as long as you don't mind that it doesn't fit in the case, costs more and doesn't offer any real performance benefit.

      • BROKENKEYBOARD on 03/03/2024 - 18:02
        +1

        I think the A380 is more of a sidegrade than an upgrade. Also if you're using an older system there's a high chance resizable bar isn't available which could make the A380 useless.

        • jonathonsunshine on 03/03/2024 - 18:18

          I have a DIY pc with 9th gen intel that supports rebar so it's not out of the question. I hear there are ways to hack bios for any motherboard but I imagine that's a pain in the arse.

          Side grade comment is fair.

      • asCMSas on 03/03/2024 - 20:34

        you can find a RX6400 for $160

        • OMGJL on 04/03/2024 - 00:23

          why on earth would one recommend rx6400, it's dog poo. This PC is on PCIe 3.0, you'll run into PCIe bandwidth issue even on low performance PC like this. AND rx6400 doesn't even have full video decoder.

        you can get a 4060 for $489 but it won't fit, too long

        Even if it did fit, an entire ITX Gaming PC including a 4060 is only $799 brand new.

        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/833607

        This $350 used machine with a $489 4060 would be a ridiculous choice in comparison.

      Note the power supply limitations in the Lenovo pdf link above. If it is the 180W model you may have problems.

    • Nom on 03/03/2024 - 22:07

      These would be great for a basic gaming set up but there are almost no up to date half height GPUs.

      If you want a basic gaming setup, then make sure you buy the Tower form factor Dell/HP/Lenovo.

      The Small form factor machines like the one in this deal are a terrible choice for the reason you've listed - low profile video cards are rare and expensive.

      Buy the Tower instead, you can just stick in a normal graphics card of your choosing, and the PSU is (usually) enough to power it.

  • OMGJL on 04/03/2024 - 00:30

    price off FB market:

    i5 9400 ~ $90
    h310 mobo ~ $50
    16G RAM ~$50
    250G SSD $25
    1T HDD $40 ———————- (I'd personally get 500GB/1T SSD and not worry about HDD)
    case from dumpster: $0 ~ $30
    400w PSU $30

    Windows License (you judge)

    $315 ish, you'd get much better upgrade path, though it's a lot of trouble gathering all the parts around people's house.

    • Presence on 04/03/2024 - 07:32

      One advantage of the Lenovo is that it's very small and very quiet, which is doable DIY, just a bit harder.

        small is hard, I agree
        quiet and lenovo? meh.

        but quiet is super easy to achieve in DIY, a $30 cooler + some cheap PWM fan will do.

  • cajd83 on 04/03/2024 - 09:12

    Would this run 3 monitors via 2 x DP, 1 x VGA? Office use only, not gaming.

    Bought exact model off fb marketplace for $200 with 128gb ssd and 500gb spinning drive instead for my blue iris setup. Just switched out the 500gb for a 2tb shyhawk and works great
