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

That was fast. Problem solved. Don't need to think about it since it's out of stock already.
Same here! I avoid staples unless I have to spend money there. Been burned before.

12 gb 3060?? This is a good deal, right? Is there a catch?
Good deal. The catch is proprietary parts and the case looks like an oven. These parts don't run super hot though, so you might be okay as long as you're not planning to upgrade.

If they have free returns it's definitely worth a try and just returning if you're getting thermal limited.

What about for those who already have a gaming laptop and don't need this? I came in time but didn't buy because I didn't need it.
I didn't need it either but it was a smokin' deal that you could buy with no regrets.

Ok I really need some expert opinions here, buying a computer for my nephew, almost exclusively used for COD gaming, and I can't decide between this set up or the Best Buy MSI 5600x w/6700XT for $820. After taxes it's about a $240 difference.

He's currently using an i5 8th gen with an RX 560 and finding that his frame rates are too low, so my question is, based on this situation do you think the extra $'s are worth it in future proofing him or should I just save the money and upgrade him again sooner?

Thanks so much for your advice!
