I was trying to find a desktop computer to replace my ~2014/2015 model so I can use my 2k monitor in my office. This came up in my search on OfficeDepot. From what I can tell, this same model was a FP deal back in March for slightly more (https://slickdeals.net/f/14908247-ideacentre-5-amd-desktop-tower-amd-ryzen-7-4700g-16-gb-ddr4-3200mhz-567).

I'm not sure how well this price has aged but I thought I'd post it up and see what others think. Let me know if I'm missing anything.

https://www.officedepot.com/a/pro...0Q3-Tower/ Now $569.99

EDIT: The previous deal looks like it had a mouse and keyboard so that is something to consider when comparing the prices. I can't tell for sure but I think this new deal comes with a keyboard.

EDIT 2: There are some coupons for a free item with a minimum purchase. I opted for a personal humidifier that has a list price of $39.99.

absolutely no reason for this system to be any thing larger than half the volume of its case.
all seriousness, you can find this very same configuration minus the DVD drive on their laptop (i am typing on a T14G1 that has 4750G), why can they reuse the same M/B and package the entire system to a much smaller case?
You already pointed out "minus the DVD drive". Does your T14G1 have an internal power supply? Any PCIe slots? How about a spot for a 2.5" and 3.5" drive?

Doesn't matter if you need those things or not. If you don't, clearly this is not the product for you. But, that's why it doesn't have a laptop form factor.

Does it only do 30hz? Thanks

Only at 4K, at lower resolution it can output more frames per second.

Think resolution as how big in diameter a water pipe is and Hz as in how fast it is flowing through the pipe.

Great deal for the price, i picked one up for the office. I usually go with Dell Inspirons lately but no way you will find these kind of specs for the price point.

I wouldn't use for gaming imo, even if you were able to put a graphics card in this, the airflow is horrible and no good way of putting more fans in.

Not a pro, but this shows that the 12th Gen I7 is a better processor, but you're comparing a brand new processor to an older version. This seems to be close to the 11th Gen I7, though.

I'm sure someone that know more than me will provide deeper insight than a website can tell me. ;-)

Pondering this deal. So does the difference between this Lenovo and the HP also referenced in the thread comes down to more storage space (Lenovo) vs slightly better processor (HP)? I've never had a desktop with both a SSD and HDD, but I assume they both just show as active drives to save to and access?

The process on the HP is a newer/slightly faster version as well:

Yes this only has hdmi 1.4 thus it will only do 4k@30hz. It's listed on this spec sheet:

The price is still good one the website. Good luck finding one in stock. Why does Office Depot website only allow delivery for items that are in stock at the store near me? Seems like if Office depot has the item in stock somewhere that they would deliver it. I could pick it up from the store if it were in stock near me. This screen removes it from my cart and will not allow me to go any further.
