Have owned for just over 3 weeks. So far no complaints, will update if that changes. Hopefully it doesn't. I have been using primarily for gaming so far running at 1080p mostly high settings and getting at least 100 fps in all titles I've tried. Recently download Hwinfo to monitor temps while gaming and have yet to see cpu or gpu get over 70 Celsius very pleased with that. This is while in "balanced" mode though have yet to try the other modes. The vantage app comes with 3 modes and the ability to overclock the gpu so imagine that could change quite a bit in other modes. So Ya so far so good would highly recommend if you're like me and want an easy foot in the door to the pc gaming world.

Bought this on sale over the holidays after shopping both gaming laptops and desktops. Have to say, pricing on most is really outrageous right now, but this unit was fairly priced (on sale, at least) and has very decent specs for a basic gaming rig. It's solidly constructed, has lots of cooling due to multiple fans and great case ventilation, and seems well put together. It does not have have water cooling, and cable management is just OK.
Disappointed that the most basic of mice and KBs were provided - not even a backlit keyboard, much less a clicky color coded one. But I think for the price of the unit, that might be fair.
Have not had a chance to really spin up some games at good resolution, but a friend just bought me CP2077 which might be my first real test. Also waiting for delivery of a 32" gaming monitor to pair up with this bad boy!

Bought this expecting a good value gaming computer and it began failing to boot in just one year. Looking online, turned out it was a common error code for an outdated bios. Took it in and they weren't able to fix it, saying the motherboard was unsalvageable. One year, total failure.

GREAT PRE-BUILT PC

I use it as a streaming PC so that the workload is significantly less on my gaming PC. Absolutely love it, especially for a pre-build. Even at multiple heavy programs running like streamlabs obs or OBS, the fans work fast and quiet, temperatures all together are superb. Even to use it as a gaming PC, i was getting around 150-160 frames on warzone and almost 170 on halo. Overall, 10/10 would absolutely recommend. It is a well put together pre-build altogether, couldn't be happier.

This has been an awesome purchase, my only regret was getting a larger storage drive.. let’s face it…3+ tb should be a minimum. Other then that, it plays online games VERY well. The internal temp are consistently low. I will say having windows 11 right out of the box has its learning curve, but comparably is not a problem. Past that having the older generation video card being the 3060 isn’t a problem as it was top of the line a year ago? It stil preforms very well..

This computer has served my very well so far and I look forward to many more years of usage. I play games like: League of Legends, Crusader Kings, Total War Rome 2 and Imperator Rome often and even with discord and Netflix running on other monitors the cpu and gpu temps don't break 50 degrees (even in florida weather and on carpet) very solid pre built. I got it because of the review daviddoestech did on youtube and I was not let down

The computer runs super quietly. Usually, I am not a fan of LED lighting but this ones lighting is beautiful and not overpowering. I feel it is a great value and you could not go wrong in buying it. II usually built all my machines but with the inflated costs of CPUs and GPU's this was a better option for me. I am going to add an larger SSD drive just because I can.

Perfection

I've only had this for 2 days but I am thrilled by it's performance so far. I use it mostly for high end video editing and graphics. Unfortunately this was not my first choice when shopping. About 2 weeks ago I purchased an "IBP Slate MR" and it functioned poorly for about 2 days before it chose not to power up anymore. During it's brief working period I had countless crashes running Topaz Video Enhance IR and PS. I then tried the "IBP Trace MR" which was more expensive than the Slate and that machine never boot past 'Getting Widows ready' stage and froze at all attempts to resolve the problem.
I chose this Lenovo because I've owned several IBM desktops since my first 'Aptiva' in 1995 which have all outlasted their obsolete operating systems.
As for this comp I had 2 issues out of the box.
(1) the Top USB ports haphazardly connecting / disconnecting. (2) display not recognizing the computer at startup.
Both of these issues were quickly resolved when I updated the graphics card and Win 11. Since I have only used the Ethernet connection I cannot review the Wi-Fi.
Thus far this comp is performing even better than I'd hoped and I and am thoroughly pleased.

I got mine for 1300 because it was an open box missing keyboard and mouse, but it still had the warranty. Knowing the current market with overpriced GPUs and some CPUs, the value I got was good getting a 3060 and 5700G. The motherboard that came with this prebuild is made by lenovo, and it seems that upgradability is doable in the future.
