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.
