I see you updated the post, yea people were mistaken thinking it was equivalent to ddr4 systems, its got a higher end motherboard with more expansion than the ideacenter.

Have to dig through the service manuals to see what the actual differences are, this is basically a normal pc, the ideacenter and invictus are ssf gimped, 2 ram slots vs 4, the poor storage ssd is easily fixed, the other stuff, not so much. Small case computers are expanded through usb, so need more of that, and perhaps room for an expansion card.

Plus this has a real tower cooler, and yes igp is important as its a free video co processor, intels very good at encode/decode.

The dell has a TI for 150 more, but is proprietary psu, and likely air cooler is the lowest end one, water cooling is "optional". Looks to be a 1 case fan cooker setup.

The legion seems to have standard 24 pin psu header, the dell 10 pin, not upgradable.

Just means you have the option to sign up for a free 3-Month GamePass trial. GamePass is Microsoft's subscription service that gives you access to a library of games, including access to any first party games on day one of release. Third party games may or may not have first day access, but they generally have a good selection. If you do sign up for the trial, you will need to turn off auto-renew if you don't intend to keep it, however it's very painless and you can do it right after you subscribe, so not like it's something you'll have to remember to do 3-months later.
