Nice find, but still doesn't beat the recent Dell one, 3060 vs 3060 Ti, extra 1TB HD.

Should you worry about swapped parts on open-box ones from best buy?

Most people that would buy these would never ever open it. Honestly these are rarely expandable.

Viewing this thread from my new XPS 8950 from that deal. No complaints - great benchmarks in Cinebench.

I'm getting significantly better Cinebench in the Dell 8950 deal vs the Lenovo 5i deal.

The difference is Dell has higher PL1 and PL2 settings (69W and 202W vs Lenovo's 55W and 180W), higher PL1 time, higher Icc current settings, all mumbo-jumbo to say it's less restricted and less locked down than the Lenovo.

The Dell is the same width/height and about 1.5x as deep as the Lenovo case.
The Lenovo is nearly silent, the dell makes slightly more noise (due to HDD and fans).

So basically with the Lenovo the trade-off (ignoring GPU differences) is performance for size/slight edge in quietness.

Again the CPU benchmarks are testing PEAK performance, which most ppl don't reach, even in gaming, which tends to be more GPU-limited for most games, so this is kinda comparing theoretical performance.
