Look, if you’re wondering on if you should get this or not- and you need an honest view from someone that’s owned this specific PC, then don’t worry because I’ll tell you my thoughts and advice. I’ve had this PC for almost a year now, and it has had its ups and downs. If you’re looking for something you can play games like Plague Tale: Requiem, it’s not going to work out. It was really laggy from my experience, but probably could have also been my internet. Games like GTA, FIVEM, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, Fortnite, ETC. run just fine. I have problems with my USB ports constantly, with the mic and keyboard randomly cutting off and not working until I replug them. The lights to the fans are an added bonus and you can customize a lot with them, which I love. You can also turn them off if you don’t like that kind of thing. On the topic of fans, they’re not loud at all. They’re so silent and the first time I turned my PC on I thought that it was off because I couldn’t even tell. However, when playing some taxing games, they get a little bit louder. This isn’t to say they’re super loud though, I haven’t had any complaints on them at all. I’ve had it crash on me a few times. This is random when it does happen, and I haven’t been able to locate the problem due to it being random, but I might just be not as tech-savvy as I should be to figure out the issue. I love my PC, and the only negative thing I could say about it is the crashing it does (not frequent but annoying nonetheless- also keep in mind it’s a possibility it does so because the games I play might be too taxing for it) and the USB ports having issues.

As my first prebuilt I bought, this blew my expectations as for performance. Although there’s two things that troubles me, it’s the blootware and the single channel 8gb ram (easily found on most prebuilts in this price range).

The Lenovo Legion Tower ships with just two adware programs, a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 (as part of Windows operating system) and a 30-day trial of McAfee virus protection.

I always built computers from various websites, but this time I was lazy and purchased a prebuilt gaming PC.
Minus the bloatware that comes on every prebuilt PC, its honestly minimal.
I did have other PC components laying around to make this PC a severe competitor amongst the high dollar prebuilt gaming towers. Out the box however it is gaming ready, and at the price point that I purchased at I couldn't have been more than happier, as currently from the time of this review, I see that it has rose $100.

I truely enjoy this pc! This is my main pc for all of my work and play in one, which was something I was looking for, and it wasn't breaking the bank. I have upgraded the RAM and the cpu fan already but those where minor purchases. The graphics card is great with games. I haven't come across a game I couldn't play just yet. I really enjoy this pc!

This is my first PC and after a ton of research (thank you, YouTube tech people) I decided that this was going to be the best for what I wanted to do. For your day to day use and playing casual games like ACNH, Sims, etc, this is a great PC. I haven't tried playing games that are more intense and high-speed, but most of the videos I have found say that it works fine. I also like that you can change out what you need when you feel that parts are due for an upgrade!
Also if you are concerned with the GB, I have downloaded most of the things I think I will need for starting out (Google Chrome, Origin, OBS studios, Elgato capture card software(s), and ofc the actual games to be played) and it has barely dented the memory. But I also just started with the setup a day or so ago, and if I see that I am starting to run out of GB it is expandable, which I also like!! A great starter PC.

It gets the job done. Runs just about everything pretty well. Fans get a little loud on more demanding games like RDR2. Would recommend changing from 8gb ram to 16gb ram. Overall gets a 5/7.

I'm by no means a hardcore gamer. I do game alot with my brother but mostly rts games. This computer does everything I want it to and more. Minus the one stick of 8gb ram. Easily fixed though. It comes very well packaged. It has a full atx mother board so if I ever need to upgrade I can. It cools very good has great airflow. It pulls off a very subtle gaming tower that I like. Flashy but not too flashy.

The best prebuilt u can buy under 900 , its very upgradable just installed a new PSU
comes with 400w and replaced with a n750w
able to fit a 3060TI OC PRO triple fan Edition
comes with a single fan 1660 super 6gb
everything about this computer is very interchangeable
do not be discouraged by other pc "enthusiast" for we the average joe will be met far above our expectations especially if u come from console gaming like me Lenovo really made this one with the purpose of directing it to an smart audience that knows what they really need dont be a sheep in a herd

Had to get after Cyberpower ate it (using my support plan) - not as pretty but just works. Easy to upgrade too (already added a bit more Ram and a 2nd SSD). GTX super is not a bad starting GPU with everything going on right now either.

Great computer overall. Very quiet and everything runs cool. Highly upgradeable and very nice looking. The only issue I am having is that I bought a 2x8 kit of ram that is rated at 3200 speed and I'm only getting 2133. There is no way to fix it in the bios. So close to 5 stars but the bios settings options are lackluster.
