Looks like a decent deal. Any propreitary parts or are they all off-the-shelf?

It could either be that the customer purchased the wrong model number since there's different specs available for this desktop or they got sent the wrong one. If no mistake is made on either side, you'll get the listed specs.

The Lenovo rep makes no reference to what the customer purchased or was sent. They give the spec for the model number 90SU000DUS, which matches the model number on the product page. And the PSU listed in the parts list is 500W.

The datasheet shows multiple possible PSU configurations - 650W is not one of them.

Speaking from 11th gen Intel Lenovo Legion 7 desktop build experience.

Lenovo will use a proprietary mobo as well as proprietary memory. The mobo isn't a huge deal since you're probably not going to replace it but it will host one or two proprietary connections- usually the front audio pins for the case.

Memory is a totally different story. Lenovo WILL NOT enable XMP so you will be stuck buying their overpriced "compatible" ram through them or finding used on eBay. They have different part numbers so nothing is "rebranded. " You will be stuck with JEDEC standards.

My 2 cents - I would not buy the prebuild again. I've built every PC I've owned but I went the Lenovo route during the height of the GPU crisis. Only way I could ever get my hands on a new card. Now that's not an issue. The Lenovo works well, is built nice, and generally seems to be good quality. I just have a major issue with them withholding stock features like XMP.

I see Samsung in the parts list, with Hynix and Micron listed as substitutes. And Crucial (Micron) has a long list of compatible RAM for this SKU.

I'm not experienced with XMP and can see how not supporting this, if accurate, might limit the ability to fully utilize high-performance RAM, but I don't see how this limits RAM choices to what is only available new directly from Lenovo.

Not bad, but not great. Definitely cheaper than you could build for if you're wanting a 12th gen ddr5 desktop.

We had $900 3060 Pavilions on BF '21 and a $750 3060ti deal recently. This has better cpu than both of those, but 3060 rig for $1k has lost a whole lot of its sparkle with recent gpu prices coming down some.

that's in the past, yall cant keep comparing to bf.. and those were so limited in stock.

this is solid build for 1000. u cant get i7 and ddr5 if you build..

edit;; though id strongly suggest checking out the miniforum pc, which has ryzen 6900hx/32ddr5/512ssd/6600m(performs ~3060)

The XMP is an issue (it's impossible to get into advanced BIOS with 2022+ Lenovos at this point. I swapped my micron for some kingston memory in my legion and it works fine.

If you want a pre-built, it's fine. I bought a pre-built during the COVID madness because it was all I could find at a reasonable price.

You do leave some performance on the table without being able to XMP ram. In the end, I ended up parting out my Legion tower into a new build, kept what I could and eventually had all new parts. If you want upgradeable, you should avoid this. You'll need to replace the PSU if you want to upgrade the GPU. A larger GPU will likely not fit. The PSU might even be a strange fit, there are only certain models to look at for their chassis.
