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

So after looking online I bet this was supposed to be for the lower end Ryzen version. A bunch of retailers have that on sale for this price. Someone going to lose their job over this pricing error. Will be interesting to see if they actually ship orders for this one.

Isn't building one's own PC more fun and rewarding? Plus, you can use the highest quality parts and upgrade whenever.
Yes you are correct. I have built 5-6 PCs already. But sourcing parts is time consuming -- spending too much time on Slickdeals.

And can't forget the major reason to build is to get the parts you want at a cheaper price. But this deal is mostly good parts at approx 50% it would cost to build on your own.

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!
I think a $600 gift for your nephew is more than good enough. This is overkill for any casual gamer.

Yea this was a really good deal, a real BlackFriday kind of deal. I was able to order it too. I just happened to look at the SD home page and saw it and then it went out of stock after a few minutes. Alerts have always been late. Lets hope it ships!

Not an expert on this stuff but here is a similar build :

Microcenter 12700k plus free mobo - $350
32gb ddr4 - $100
2tb Solidigm ssd - $110
NZT case - $60
ASUS PSU - $50
3060 gfx card - $360
Windows 11 license - $30
Thermal paste - $10
CPU cooler - $40
Keyboard and mouse - $40

Total $1150 comparison price.
Plus time to build.
This staples deal is awesome.
this build is considerably better. More ram, more ssd, better mobo, better psu. Also, spending 360 on a 3060 is crazy. Get a 6650xt for much less.

Same here. I never get in on hot deals like this before they go out of stock. My timing this time was on point. If it ships, this is like hitting the lottery for $500.

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 really appreciate your input, many thanks for taking the time! Repped!
