    It's flashy looking. It will play games that don't require a decent amount of video memory. I got this pc due to it being on sale. It wouldn't run farming simulator even on low settings with everything. If you why to use it for solitaire and fortnite this is the pc for you. I will be taking it back.

    Bought this as open box. Everything looked great until I got it home. None of the USB ports worked. It also didnt have the advertised hdmi/dp ports. It would be an ok computer if you dont need multiple ports and dont plan on using it as a gaming computer.

    Great buy for parts, DON'T BUY if for plug&play

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If you're just looking for a very solid budget gaming PC build see second part. At $639 this is a great deal for the parts that you get. But it if you accept that you're going to have to swap a few things around and understand that even doing that it remains a solid build for a great price. It is not a great deal for a setup if someone just wants plug and play, I'll explain why below. But if you're up for swapping things you have on hand or the near future this can easily be rearranged for very minimal additional cost. As low as $80-$100, if your able to exchange the 6500XT for a 6600 or for a little more if you have to buy one outright, or you could swap the CPU. Prices fluctuate quickly on both those parts and now that the next gen is here I expect good fits for this swap to keep getting aggressively priced to make way. Second Part Don’t do it because 5600G doesn’t support PCIe 4. 6500XT gets severely bottlenecked in PCIe 3, as much as 40% performance loss. (This is not normal, but by nature of what part of the market the 6500XT was targeted for and compromises it took to get there it's unique, it is still a good card it just needs the right CPU) I’d cash in a bit more for the 6600 or if you haven’t already owned the CPU, it’s better to get a 12100F, 5600 or 12400F if you want to buy a 6500XT. I love this gear it is just one of those few scenarios that pairs gear together in the worst way, its catastrophic not just suboptimal. I am not being an 'optimization' nerd, I don't normally do reviews, I just really am trying to help anyone with this.

    It has been ok, It has had troubles with the hdmi's. the big problem ahs been the games the games run great but the picture, the picture is horrible it is very blurry and pixelated when I go into the lenova app that comes with it it shows that i dont have a graphics card and it says i only have a ryzen 5 5600g with integrated graphics. Also i tried to upgrade to 16gb ram and all the mother board did was beep it would be a great pc if the graphics looked better than xbox and it would be a little more upgrade friendly

    Great starter pc. I suggest upgrading the ram to 16gb or 32gb, I find this pc can run but not high quality effiecientcy. And I will be upgrading the graphics card to a rtx 3060 once 4050s and 4060s drop.

    Very mediocre

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this pc around a year ago for online classes. I only bought this one because I was in a pinch and this one was only available one in store. The computer is good for basic browsing, powerpoint, videos, etc. This computer however falls short everywhere else. The graphics card and CPU are mediocre at best. The main issue is the RAM. With every single program on the computer closed down (Like every possible program), the computer uses about half of the small 8GB of ram. Do not expect to play AAA games smoothly at all. Do not expect to be able to play in 1440p. This computer struggles to even run lightroom smoothly, most macs can do it better. I would definitely spend a few hundred dollars more and get something better.
