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

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'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.

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.

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)

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.
Fans are Foxconn.
