      Oh no! No fake frames! How terrible.

      • Yea it's a big deal for benchmark warriors lol

  • -5

    With the 14th gen coming out, isn't this overpriced?

    • Probably not overpriced, but I wouldn’t call it that great of a deal.

    • As someone who is not as technologically minded as some & need all the help I can get… I don't understand why you're downvoted ???

    • does it actually work?

  • 12th gen i9 good or bad?

    • -1

      It’s as powerful as a 13600k

      • i5 13th gen is better than a 12th gen i9?

        • +1

          yep. crazy how big a jump in performance the 13th gen was over 12th gen. sucks to have been one of the bunnies who paid full freight for a 12900K/KS on release.

        • about the same for gaming, the i9 faster for many productivity tasks

  • RTX 3080Ti retail price is $1500? Is it real?

    • +9

      once upon a time - but 4070ti is faster and ~$1100 in a recent deal

      • +2

        This is the problem with OP's deal notes, it has no regard for matching up CPU and GPU performance. I saw him excessively crapping on the 4070 too when it's about 80-85% of the 4070 Ti's performance. Sure, it should have been at most a 4060 Ti card, but the design of the card itself is fine.

        The 4070 Ti is the stronger GPU, and will get stronger going forward. Within this group of choices, CPU will make no difference outside of 1080p gaming bar a small handful of games that aren't driving for max frame rates, you'd just ideally want to be on a platform with DDR5 and PCIE 5.0 support.

      • So about $1100 for the GPU and $900 for the rest?
        I am on the fence!

  • +17

    Notes:

    • I see people complaining about lack of fan curve options and just 3 presets?
    • Lenovo ships a ton of bloat, including McAfee.
    • The usual prebuilt bargain basement component complaints in regards to memory, nvme ssd and hard drive.
    • I like turtles
    • I think they hide away quite a few bios options (Might be unlockable with a key sequence like on their laptops, might not be)
    • +33

      ^ This.

      There's nothing wrong with the specs/pricing of this build on paper however there's everything wrong with Lenovo, OEM mobos, sh*tty vendor-locked BIOS/UEFI configs and no-name brand, lucky dip PSU/memory/storage components.

      I wouldn't buy pre-built OEM PCs in the first place but I especially wouldn't buy pre-built Lenovo PCs given their historical tendency to do shady sh*t with their devices' firmware, the never-ending critical hardware-level vulnerabilities that keep being discovered and being the worst offender out of all OEMS when it comes to bundling outright malware/spyware with new computers on top of the lengthy list of bloatware they love to include with all new computers (great write-up on the Lenovo Superfish scandal here).

      I've also seen a pretty high rate of failure with new Lenovo laptops at work in the last 2 years (on a scale of hundreds), whether they're low-end or high-end, which doesn't inspire me with confidence in their products' reliability/longevity.

      • ^ Massive thank you for that. Saved me from second-guessing the BPCT build.

      • Maybe just nuke all the hard drives and SSDs and fresh-install Windows or any other OS before you use the system. Best way to get rid of all OEM crapware on the system.

        • +5

          That does nothing to remedy the vendor-locked UEFI config, the proprietary mobo, the questionable non-big ticket parts, the lack of upgradeability and limited compatibility with any future mods and Lenovo's trademark habit of treating their customers' products like their own decentralised NSA server farm (reimaging won't remove UEFI or firmware-embedded malware/spyware nor hardware-level vulnerabilities).

          I'd rather just take off and nuke Lenovo from orbit spend a few hundred more dollars and either get a fully custom pre-built rig or DIY your own, with none of the above limitations.

          • @Gnostikos: Spending a few hundred more for upgradability is dumb. The vendor lock in is from mb, and sometimes psu with proprietary conneector to mb. All other parts can be reused. I'd say the value of the upgrade limit is around 200 (sell mb and get a diff matx or itx mb) … i.e go custom if you get equivalent build for 2200 or less but get this and replace mb if it will cost you more than 2.2k.

            • @jkim:

              The vendor lock in is from mb, and sometimes psu with proprietary conneector to mb.

              Yeah that's the whole problem, you don't know which parts are going to be weird Lenovo-specific junk that doesn't work in a normal ATX mobo/case or with regular off-the-shelf parts, until you actually test it out.

              And it's more than just the motherboard being proprietary, as the UEFI config probably can't be customised either which means no proper OC'ing or changing other performance settings.

              For an investment that should last 4-5 years at least, which most users are going to want to upgrade over time, spending a few hundred more to eliminate all of the potential vendor lock-in issues is a small price to pay. An extra $400 averages out to nothing over 4-5 years.

              There's an obvious reason Lenovo can offer a PC with these specs for less than almost all competitors and it's because they're skimping out on everything other than the big ticket parts and because they recoup manufacturing losses by data-mining the sh*t out of their customers to resell their information to 3rd-parties.

              • @Gnostikos: It's just the mb. The bios/uefi lives on the mb. Extra 400 is stupid.

        14th gen is a few months only

    My last Lenovo laptop lasted 15 months before it died and they weren’t interested in being of assistance.

    • +3

      I had problems too, had to get my laptop repaired twice in 12 months, both times they replaced the motherboard. Working ok now but pia to get them to fix it.

      • Got 2 Lenovo Flex 5 laptops. One went back after 13 months. The other is still going but all the screws on the back have fallen out and opening the screen will push every out, so it's being held together by gorilla tape at the moment!!! Going to contact Amazon to see what they can do with ACL.

      yes, i done in other desktops and laptops, not specifically on this model, just get ISO from MS and it will be activated with product key or digital licence.

  • Can anyone find the motherboard model?

    Been wanting to upgrade my 12900kf DDR4 / 3080 rig to DDR5 for work reasons but my current board has 3 m.2s and the board in this looks sort of small.

    • will be an OEM custom one - youtube says 3x nvme slots though

    • +1

      It's Lenovo's proprietary motherboard. Supposedly not many ram sticks are compatible with this board. Wouldn't be buying this in the hope of upgrading components later. As mentioned above, these prebuilt rigs don't usually have top of the range components.

      • +1

        you can't replace much parts with this? Damn, I was assuming they use like market standard motherboards so i can replace parts once the warranties expire

      • Oh wow hmm, that changes my perspective. I was kicking myself a bit seeing how cheap DDR5 kits were going for when posted here so I thought I could buy two solid kits for 64gb and replace the stock ones.

      • Its got at least DDR5 support as well as PCIe Gen4 support

  • This thing destroys my custom built in terms of price. Should've gotten this with 4 years support and upgrade the individual parts myself once the 4 years is up.

  • Good deal?
    Wonder how many extra 3.5" hard drive I can add?

  • +8

    Computer and parts sales have collapsed and will continue to drop. If people keep holding till boxing day you will see multi nationals get desperate to clear inventory in search of cash.

  • +1

    Ok deal but don't like anything proprietary. Proprietary stuff is made for their interests not yours.

    • -1

      100%, but given the Legion laptops are usually top class in terms of cooling design/etc…, I'm willing to give Lenovo a bit of a leeway on this one. Even the older Legion 5i that GamerNexus reviewed that has issues is way above the shit that HP and Alienware/Dell pushes out, proprietary mobo and PSU(?, I'm not sure actually, since in the GamerNexus tear down it looks ATX-sized, but connector might be proprietary) aside its clear that they actually put some thought into that thing, like a proper tower cooler and having enough fans for proper airflow (minus the fact that the front is a solid plastic wall, but they fixed that with the model in the deal by putting a mesh front on it).

      My biggest concern is the mobo + 12900K combo, but I guess the locked down mobo is going to lock the chip's power limit so it shouldn't be a problem.

      They are. Had 2 issues in the two year warranty period and it was sent back to base and fixed within a 2 week window each time. Build quality and cable management and post sales experience has been great.

      Second time Mobo and Case was damaged in transit and they gave me upgraded case and Mobo.

      I'll pay the premium next time and go with them for my next PC based on my experience with them again. I think it's 3 yr warranty now vs 2 yrs when I have bought in 2021.

        Not sure why you've been negged. Aftershock PC is known for having excellent customer service, but you pay for it - they'd never have a deal featured on OzBargain. For some, the better service is worth paying for.

    The way Dell and Lenovo are headed, they’ll end up becoming purely just a place for enterprise companies to dump all of their tech OPEX with very little benefit to the purchasing company. Their consumer products are so full of down clocking, cheap components, thermal throttling, proprietary parts, bloat ware and shady warranty upsells it’s a disgrace.

    Worse still, they’re never truly investigated in a regulatory sense against what should be acceptable practices.
