See you in a few generations...
Edit LOL dang meant the 3060ti or 3070
They're designed to under-cut the machines to ensure your product is as sub-optimal as the money they can squeeze out of you.
That's why i always recommend learning how to build a system from scratch. Not only is it rewarding, but you know you are putting quality parts in your machine that are built to last...

I wonder if the 500w psu is standard size because if you upgrade the gpu you'll have to upgrade that too.
Lenovo says only 2x m.2 and one is wlan.

Can I pull the wlan chip and add another nvme?

i7-12700
16GB
3060 12GB
1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe
Compact, super quiet, works decently.
However:
- Using Bluetooth causes Wifi to drop out. I read this can happen due to frequency interference, etc. Maybe a router setting could fix it, but never had this issue with many many other tested devices.
- Actual performance soft-limited by Lenovo, hard-limited by stock cooler. CPU benchmarks ~50% of expected performance (Cinebench R23). Lenovo limits PL1 (low CPU power mode) to 55W, and PL2 (boost power mode) to 169W. Intel specifies 65W and 180W respectively. Even when I max out all available settings (using Intel XTU software), I can only achieve ~60-70% of the expected performance for a stock i7-12700.
It's a decent system, but desktops are like laptops these days--the specs are useless. i7 i5 i9999 they're all throttled by various mechanisms and cut-corners so you don't actually get the performance you think you're buying.

That's why i don't trust pre-built systems no matter how good the price is

It's also got a ATX12VO PSU which is a pain to upgrade.

The system you bought is similar but not the same. These guys didn't say anything about a deficiency
