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

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.

https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/776104

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!
They will both be just fine for COD. I got the BB MSI and kind of hesitated on this one. I like the ease of upgrade-ability for the MSI over this one which is mostly proprietary parts, even with the extra $$$. if you are giving it the nephew, give him the Lenovo.

I finally placed to order right before OOS, and got email order confirmation. But not sure if Staple will cancel or not. It's likely price error as the Lenovo listed price is $1449.99 and Doorbuster price at $999.99.

This had to be a pricing error. Worse versions are more expensive on their site.

I purchased this same model at costco for 899.99 as a gift for the pops. If staples comes through and actually ships that is going back to costco. This is a killer deal!
