$999.99
Solid deal for an entry-level gaming desktop for those NOT looking to build their own computer and one of the few deals around $1000 with DDR5! 500w PSU. Was a FP Deal at a higher price earlier in the year. i7-12700 processor includes integrated Intel 770 UHD Graphics. The Intel i7-12700f in similar deals does NOT include integrated graphics.

Ideally would be 100-200 cheaper for these specs compared to other recent Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5i and Dell XPS 8950 deals

One complaint I have is that the cpu is about 15% slower than it should be due to limiting the PL1 and PL2. When you return those to Intel standards it is still about 5% below on benchmarks. Not a big tweaker so not sure if the difference can be fixed.
Also, my power supply is 650 gold but unfortunately only came with one pcie cable for video so the highest card I can run is the 3070fe.
Either way, I thought Lenovo might loosen up their restriction for the true "Legion" line equivalent, but I guess they carry the same strategy across their lineup.
