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

Got an order in just in time. Would make for a nice HTPC/retro gaming upgrade to my i5-3570/GT1030 HTPC.

Aint holding my breath on this though. A few months back, a deal popped up on here for an $80 Logitech mouse that was on sale for $25 at Staples. Mostly everyone's order got cancelled including mine. We'll see with this deal.

This better ship as Staples has played this game before. Other than that $850 Dell, best deal I've seen past few weeks.

I think Slickdeals hides the deals
I think so, so you will have to self monitor 24/7 to ensure no deal goes unnoticed.

Great deal for me bc I spent way too much on this website looking for PC components. Now I got a better deal with this fully built PC than I could have gotten building it myself.

Hope it ships though.

Only 10% faster? That's the same thing userbenchmark.com shows. And people still say nothing there is accurate.

Mobile 3060 is very weak. It's like a 3050.
it depends on the wattage; it's up to the manufacturer to put money into voltage regulators and actually get it to spec on how well it's clocks are

laptop variants are weaker but not as bad as they were before the 1000 series which was when this comment actually had some truth

12 gb 3060?? This is a good deal, right? Is there a catch?
The only catch is that more VRAM doesn't mean better performance than their lower counterparts. It just means you will be able to play games that actually require the 12GB.

Anyone know what the max length gpu you can fit into this case?

Whether the MB is ATX?

And whether the PSU is proprietary?

Similar to another's post: Would Costco price match this for my existing order?

Answered my own question: I don't think Costco price matches.
