I am tempted with this and was at costco this afternoon. Saw a display and decided to take off the side panel and check out the inside

1. PSU is standard atx. Can be replaceable. But depth is limited. So most likely you wont able to upgrade to 800-1k watt psu. 650 watt psu most likely will fit
2. There are 3 dp and 1 hdmi output on the gpu card
3. There is a cross bar on top of the cpu cooler, so wont able to upgrade to vt heatsink version. Upgrade will be limited to horizontal heatsink.
4. Only have 1 extra x1 pcie slot
5. I didn't see a wifi card and how many ram slots it has

Still tempting

If it was me.....I get the Costco deal just because the Lenovo model plus costco support and 90 day love it or leave it. Plus a 12 generation i7....you have my fking attention.
Those 12th generation cpu are fast...even the I3 is supper fast.

After 40 days if you have problems....you are screwed. But Costco...no problem.
4 year warranty using their card.

you read the negative reviews and I just say screw it. Buy from Costco.

I love Costco and Costco loves you. I bought a TV and after 45 days it was defective. Brought it....actually dragged it back since it was big. No problem. Got a new TV from Costco...happy.

I buy my TV and Computers from Costco. After you pick up your computer at Costco, get that hot dog and coke for 1.50. A good shopping day.

Find me a laptop with a desktop 12700 and 3060 in it.
I said similar specs means not exactly the same specs but comparable.

Similar specs means, same performance. They benchmark the same. or they benchmark less but the price to performance ratio is the same.

For example, this deal at $800 but the specs is almost at this desktop level

This at $630 is another close spec

Laptop GPU's are much weaker than desktop GPU's. A 3050 ti laptop won't even get close to a 3060 desktop card.

I think this desktop is only up to 32gb of ram. I am a developer and seems like this would be a good one compared to the asus 12700h laptop

Is it possible to replace the power supply with a larger watt and put in an rtx 3080 using the stock case?
Likely not. I saw this in person and it is tiny. I find it hard to believe this case has enough room for a larger supply and bigger card. Even if they somehow do fit, you will likely run into cooling issue with the stock cooling/case.

The K is a slightly better performer, but the 12700 still outperforms the 5950x.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

A 3060ti in there or 3070 would have made it slick.

Too much CPU,not enough GPU IMHO.

Hmm any reason to favor Ryzen 5950x over this for multi core usage? Seems significantly cheaper and I don't game that much anymore so gpu doesn't matter as much

Any thoughts on this desktop computer getting too hot to the point of potential issues during gaming sessions?

When I buy prebuilt gaming desktops, I usually get ones that are in better cases and setups. My experience with this type of case is a bit more limited.

Thanks,

Do you know of a deal with similar high specs but in a 17"?

Ideally 12700

Thank you!

Price wise those are fine - though expired - deals.

Performance wise they won't benchmark anywhere near this machine.
