Funny how the Dell product video highlights the "new" air exchange and thermal performance.

My 5+ year old R7 with a Gtx 1080 is still running strong.
My 5+ year old XPS 9810SE with GTX 1070 is still running strong. (Shares the same chassis as the R7, just has different clothes that aren't as cool).

Did the R7 come with a liquid cooling option or do you also have the "Premium" cooling solution that pulls hot air off the PSU that is mounted above the CPU cooler intake, with like half inch of clearance?

Nope, no liquid cooling.

You like it, buy it. Don't listen to these people. I'm personally building every one of my pc but my budget is different. "900 bucks I need 3090 and 6666 GB of ram this deal aint good!! it's a hot box!" blah blah blah. do you live in mid west or in floriduhh?

there are other factors to consider. The small PSU will limit u for upgrade later, and I don't know the detail of this pc if u can toss in a new psu but that would be my only concern.
You can throw in a different PSU. I believe there is a 750W and even a 1000W PSU. But, AFAIK, the 1000W isn't sold by itself and you can't currently build an R13 (or R14, ryzen variant) with the 1000W PSU. R15 has 1350W PSU, not sure it's compatible with R13/R14.. So you'd most likely end up buying used 3rd party, unless they decide to sell it by itself (which wouldn't be cheap).

It's also not a modular PSU, so it would be quite the pain in the ass to cable manage it all again.

Bad Deal: Terrible Dell crap in an oven-like case and garbage ram speed that will absolutely hurt performance.

This is very bulky and heavy as boulder.

Better hit the gym for 6 months before order one of these

Used to buy Alienware cause it look cool but man it's one of the worst pc to upgrade, event their biggest tower is horrible to upgrade, also temp is at least higher than a normal pc about like extra 10 degrees.

I'd say buy it. It's a good price. Seriously are you going to over clock it and and play hard core? If you are one of those then you would of built your own computer. Normal people can just enjoy it.
These Alienware computers already overheat and throttle running stock clocks. Lol.

Where are you finding this ?
I'm searching but am not finding a lenova with a 3070 in that price only with a 3060
Same here - I'd actually be interested in that deal if it existed, but it's close to $1500 on Lenovos website

Only 460w psu, the cheapest ddr5 ram, no storage space. Be way better of building your own or buying used. lots of good deal out there.

While you can (sometimes) get official Dell PSUs on the second hand market and Dell will at times sell these PSUs directly, they're crazy expensive for what you get (my experience). You could also see if there are adapters that would allow you to use a standard PSU with the proprietary motherboard, but those are hit and miss. Depending on size, you might need to do some case modification as well.

I hate the comments on gaming pc's, tons of people just want to buy something, not build and this is sufficient for most.

i7 non K prcessor draws 120W under 100% full load， 3060 Ti draws 200W under 100% full
load. Remaining 140W is enough to power a M2 Max 16 inch MacBook Pro under full load. LoL. 80% of idiots or gamers never think and calculate and they will just blindly go for 650W, 850W, 1000W or even 1250W for no clear reason except donating money to PSU companies
