Best Out Of The Box Build For The Price

One of the best rigs I've ever boughten straight out of the box, ready to go, and for such a reasonable price. Could use an upgraded ssd, and power supply. Those are things that can always come down the line. Same with the ram. 16gb out of the box, but expandable to 64. The base product will play basically anything flawlessly already though. Incredibly happy.

Got this tower after my son asked for components to build a PC. This tower has a very good CPU and graphics card for a beginning gamer to use as a upgradable platform. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU is $325 and rates very well on PassMark and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super graphics card is $240 and delivers great 1080p. So I got the Windows 10 OS, case, MB, cooling system and power supplies for $235. Newegg starts at $1200 for any system with this CPU.
The only complaint I have is the component assembly by Lenovo. The wires for the fans and graphics card were loose in the case and not managed in any way. On initial startup this PC made a really loud fan noise. I disconnected the rear fan from the MD thinking that was the cause but on reboot had the same issue. I then noticed that the graphics card wire was touching the fan blades on the graphics card. Tucked it under another wire and all was silent. Come on Lenovo, you really need to do better than that when building a device. A few pennies for a clip and all would be solved.
Despite that, highly recommended as a great gaming PC.

I was looking for parts to build a gaming pc for my son before Christmas but then came across this one. The cpu and gpu in this pc is actually pretty good. You could always upgrade ram, mb or ssd later on the road if you wanted to but overall $849 for this pc is reasonable. All the price gouges and out of stock parts to built a pc to my liking was ridiculous. I decided to pull the trigger on this one since there wasn’t a lot of reviews on this gaming pc before I purchased it. Now I see a lot of bad reviews about this pc. So far so good for me. Everything works as it should and haven’t run into any issues after 24 hrs of use. Seem like a hit or miss with having a bad pc. Will update if anything else comes up.

When I bought this pc, I was afraid because of the 1 star review I saw. But when I got the pc, which came three days earlier, nothing was wrong with it. The lights were off at first, but then I opened the lenovo app and was able to turn it on through that. Honestly this is a great pc for people who are starting to get into pc gaming. This is my first gaming pc, and I'm very happy with it. I have had it for a week, done multiple hardware scans and fully updated the software. I've played league of legends, modern warfare and ark. They all run great. I'm still scared that something will go wrong in a month, so i will update my review in a month and let you all know how this pc does after some time. So far, 5 out of 5. Good starter pc!

I don't know much about PCs, but I can tell you that this one has yet to give me issues in any way. start up time is really quick and is very quiet. Even if you are running something that requires a lot of processing it maintains its silence. Plus the fan lights are pretty cool and there are several ways to personalize it to your liking with the built in program. Highly recommend for anybody wanting to get into PCs. This is definitely worth what you are paying for.

Purchased during a major sale (15% off) and have to say for the price paid there could not have been a better tower to buy. Overall value of individual components well exceeded price spent. Great for editing videos and photos, and has no problem running modern games at 1440p over 60fps. Looks to be relatively easy to upgrade, and a quick GPU swap would make this capable of 4k/60fps for the next gen stuff.

I was a little skeptical buying this gaming desktop when I saw the reviews for it and looking further into it it seemed some of them came dead on arrival and or didnt power on but looking at the positive reviews they said it was the best bang for the buck so the chances were kinda risky but I still took the risk cause I heard so many great things about it and few weeks later shes still going strong playing and handling games like its nothing fans are great very good air flow never it had it hit anywhere near 70c or even 80c running games at max settings getting 110 fps and still going cool an strong if your looking to get a pc that doesnt break the bank handles games at max with ease doesnt have heating issues then I recommend this pc for sure but keep in mind some people had issues with it so keep that in mind.
****Also keep in mind some games I played at max or high were Resident evil 3 rainbow 6 Seige Halo master chief collection final fantasy 14 borderlands 2 and GTA 4.

Bought this to get back into pc gaming after several years. Currently running it on 65”4K TV. Performance has exceeded my expectations. While doing your initial updates I would definitely research about deleting apps/ optimizing settings for gaming. The manufacturers cpu mngr has some nice features but uses A LOT of processing power, and I recommend to drop that for sure. This machine will run your favorite games well on medium to high settings at 35-60fps. I will be upgrading to 1tb ssd and stacking in 16gb more ram soon for about another $200.

Decent tower rig. Purchased for $850 open box, and that's a pretty good deal in these trying times. It becomes a space heater during gaming though, not to mention the BIOS/UEFI utility is the strangest I've ever seen. Nowhere could I adjust the fan curves for the included RGB fans, so for now, the PC runs a bit warm. These gripes, however, aren't very concerning and will work fine in its stock configuration.

Bought this on special pricing. Might have preferred a better mother board and graphics card but could not beat the the drive, dedicated graphics and storage capacity for the price. Not a fan of Windows 10. (Have been using Macs.) Automatic "scan and 'repair'" operation ate one of my usb drives before I had a chance to notice it was about to do so, the second time I turned it on.

DID NOT POWER ON!! No Inspection before selling?

My son saved up his allowance for nearly 2 years to buy his very first PC, so you can imagine the anticipation and excitement waiting for this PC to arrive. We picked it up and as soon as we got home he started connecting it but the PC would not power up, no led lights, nothing. We called Lenovo and tried a different power cable and source, nothing worked. Either we received a faulty device or the power component was not connected to the Motherboard. At least the latter is what Lenovo thought might be going on.
However, when we took it back to Best Buy, the tech opened the PC up and tried checking if the Power component was connected and that's when he noticed dust inside the fan. He suspects that someone at Lenovo is either swapping parts inside the PC before shipping out or technicians at Lenovo are not doing their job inspecting the PCs before shipping. These should undergoing various inspections before leaving the premises.
I can't describe how disappointed my son was after waiting for this PC to arrive. That's my main reason for this one star review. PC's should be inspected to assure it functions as it should before selling.

Very good starter PC. The only thing is that you cant overclock due to the Motherboard locked by Lenovo. But if you want a starter PC, then look no further. Good for Fornite & CSGo

I was a little skeptical about this PC while reading everyone's else reviews. I just couldn't pass up on that Christmas sale of $850. The Ryzen 7 3700X is an excellent processer and the GTX 1660S is a good gpu as well. Runs very fast. I was weary of the 400W psu so I went ahead and replaced it with a Corsair 650W Bronze for a piece of mind. I also looked up the part numbers of the memory ram that came with the pc and bought an extra 16gb, the bad news is, the ram speed is stuck at 2667mhz. Tried to go under BIOS but there isn't an option to make changes and up the speed to 3200mhz which I was a little disappointed. Overall, this PC performs well. Great for gaming and multitasking. Best bang for your bucks. Definitely recommend it.

Quality to price ratio very good. It’s not a premium gaming machine but does the job with room to upgrade. You could build this yourself slightly more cheaper but it’s a real price hunt.

I loved the look of the machine. The way you could play with the color and rate of the lights. Although in game play I tired then to be steady or off , because they eat were annoying during low light game play. The machine stared out ok and everything was fine. I loved into all my accounts I have Microsoft Game pass Ultimate I downloaded a game Forza 7 it played fine. I tried my next favorite Horizon 4 it downloaded but when I went to click play all I would get was a splash screen when the game opens but it won't open. ???This happened on several other games. It was the same way on the Steam platform. I wasn't happy with the software on this machine .Hard to fix like it had been reinstalled several times the screen saver would not work it would always open in Game Pass and noe of the downloads from game pass or stream would work or launch so it went back ... Sorry because I love Lenovo I have a lap top that's been flawless for 4 years that one of the reasons I choise This machine

I like the desktop overall, but the lights stopped working as soon as it was set up. I haven't figured out how to get them working again. The fans are on, so it's not a huge problem. It's very quiet and runs smoothly so far.
