How are people liking this desktop now that they have had it for a while?
Before I saw this deal today, I just picked up an ibuypower "slatemesh2070" with an i7-12700F CPU and an RTX3060 GPU (also from Best Buy) on sale for $150 more.
Had not heard about the brand since I switched from desktops to laptops a while back. However when I sorted by rating on bestbuy.com, the ibuypower was right at the top with a 4.8 / 5 rating (across just under 700 reviews) and is 97% recommended.
Also read some people who have had them for years with great reliability.
I have have not opened it yet though while checking alternatives.
The ibuypower has a bigger PSU than the Legion in this deal.
The Ibuypower has a 600W PSU (Thermaltake I believe) vs. only a 500W PSU on the Legion Tower 5i. PSU size is important with these RTX30xx cards
The ibuypower has a 512GB SSD vs 256GB on the Legion (I would get extra SSDs, so not a huge deal for me, but larger SSD drives tend to last longer = higher TBW).
The PSU is a bigger deal to me.
Also it seems the Legion is a midsize case so, as I believe someone pointed out here on SD. So getting a new motherboard for the Legion might require a proprietary model (just in case of failure or to support a potential motherboard upgrade down the road).

No issues. Windows 11, now that's another matter.
DDR5 vs. DDR4, from what I can tell. Real world difference? (shrug)
