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.

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.

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?

A very fast and solid machine.

Probably not enough market to make it worth doing as a product and/or the costs wouldn't be good.
Laptop parts are designed around the limited space and limited cooling capability. It might be more expensive to make the more customized laptop designs versus the commodity desktop parts. And with laptops cooling is limited so you can't handle as much heat and that limits the parts you can use.
I think that the all-in-one design desktop systems may use laptop design parts. Not sure there.
And there are various mini footprint desktops out there too. And I mean this thing isn't exactly giant its only like 5" wide x 11" x 13".
I remember buying an HP with Ryzen 4700 onboard graphics and it's also 1VGA+1HDMI at the back (probably the standard design) and returned it because there's no properly working Ubuntu drivers for it at the time.
