If you got the deal, lucky, etc. this is not about that. I owned this model and wanted to give info:

- The CPU performs below the level of a below-average mobile i7-12700H (yes H version). Cinebench R23 ~12k pts. A full 12700 is supposed to be ~21K pts. With all adjustable settings maxed via BIOS, Windows power settings, Intel XTU, the most performance I could squeeze out of this CPU was ~18k pts.
- The i7-12700H in my Acer Helios Predator 300 laptop hits ~18k pts stock settings in high fan modes.
- The GPU probably works fine, DDR4 RAM, etc. whatever
- The CPU is highly performance limited because Lenovo limits max temp to 90C (you cannot bypass this as far as I know, nor would I really want to). Lenovo limits the CPU power settings (PL1, PL2, PL1 time) below Intel's specifications, probably to achieve temperature/thermal constraints within the relatively small case.

That said, I do like the look of the case, a simpler and classier 'gamer' design. But just be forewarned you're not getting the full fat i7-12700 experience out of this CPU, at least with stock cooler/software constraints

12 gb 3060?? This is a good deal, right? Is there a catch?
I'm also wondering the same... as with all per-built PC's, I would expect a low quality PSU and yea probably not a great name brand 3060 - but at this price, good deal I believe!

So now that we all know it's a buy, how about a nice mobo for this baby, so we can all use our kick ass custom cases.

Finally I convinced myself not needing another PC after buying several parts in the past month. This is a great deal!

Unbelievably slick. I thought the MSI from Bestbuy was pretty good.

I didn't see anything huge that was available (lower) for CM that wasn't available for BF. In fact, some items were cheaper on "BF" (Starting Nov 1st is now considered BF). And now this deal is on Travel Tuesday! CM is falling short of deals. Nothing new though. It has been happening for a few years now. BF and CM are merging. I don't wait for CM anymore. But this deal is AMAZING if you didn't spend it all.

An rtx 3060 with only 1 hdmi ports? Smells fishy... might be a mobile rtx ?
3 display ports though. I got an HP that's very similar to this but came with 3070 which also has 3 DP and 1 hdmi.

This is the one Embarrassment!

Watch Staples cancel all orders lol

Ordered 2 for the office. Let's see if it goes through.
Do you see a charge for shipping on your order details? Looks like I'm getting charged $6. Not complaining, it's just very odd. Staples never charges for shipping on items in this price range.

Does this motherboard come with integrated Graphics if I wanted to pull the graphics card and use it in another system?

Sounds like a nice deal with the parts and components?

Would anyone recommend buying/replacing some parts to make it look better aesthetically? Like RGB fans, better looking tower, etc?
I found a teardown video on YouTube and these are NOT really upgradable because they use a bunch of proprietary components - Case, MB, PSU are all proprietary. Can't even use a normal case or power supply without jerry-rigging. You can do small mods or swap the graphics card, add RAM or change the HDD but otherwise I only recommend you buy this if you'll be more or less happy as-is.

Just to be clear - it's a really good deal but expect limited upgradability.
