- Only air intake is the cpu radiator mounted in the front pulling air in and preheating it before it hit the gpu
- Much higher than average case temps
- Cooking the 4090, resulting in one of the highest 4090 temps
- Bios won't allow four sticks of ram to run at 5600, only 4000
Not making the radiator an exhaust up top and not having all 4 sticks be able to get to 5600 made this a definite no for me. Its a terrible design.
I tried to make the closest apples to apples comparison with PCPP and selected the cheapest components. This prebuilt is still cheaper (not by much if you exclude the OS, although I did leave fans out so there's a few bucks more that would be required if you are doing a complete build):

With this you get a single device to return/RMA if something fails as opposed to sending individual parts back. I felt the trade off with the proprietary MB and GPU was worth it... Just my opinion/rationalization of my own purchase.
"This product has a proprietary motherboard that is incompatible with high speed ram. What's really unacceptable is that it is advertised and shipped with 5600 Mhz ram, but the product actually does not even support the ram that it's shipped with. This is obviously not acceptable and feels dishonest. You simply cannot use high speed ram with this product which is insane for a $3000 computer. As things stand, it seems you will never be able to upgrade to highspeed ram for the life of the product. The BIOS is proprietary and extremely limited. Some of the supplied drivers from the Lenovo website actually cause more harm than good. Some of the drivers/software on the download page are recycled from other Lenovo products and this is very evident because when you download and run the drivers you will get an error message."
Everything else I've found is $1000+ more. Guess I'll keep waiting.

Comment is ignorance, ddr5 drops speed when 4 sticks are used, this is normal. Not having xmp is not great but on the other hand how much performance is left on the table is debatable, what isn't considered is stability, gamer stability and rock stable for weeks if not months of on time is another question because xmp is really just overclocked ram, unsupported and based on cpu silicon lottery.
Delayed order by several weeks and then unceremoniously cancelled
I placed the order on 17/06/2023 with an estimated shipping of less than 10 business days.
An email advising that the shipment has been delayed to 14/07/2023 was sent to me on 27/06/2023. I checked the order status some days later and found that the shipment date had been changed to 20/07/2023. Not happy about the change of date, I emailed Lenovo to check how accurate this was. My current laptop has a failing display and I was concerned that it could abruptly stop working. I was advised that this date is accurate and that I should expect to receive my computer on 28/07/2023.
On 18/07/2023 I received an email stating that my order has been cancelled due to Lenovo not being able to fulfil it. So basically, I've waited a month to be told that I will not be receiving the laptop that I have ordered.
On looking into this further, I found out that due to the delay the payment provider, Amazon Pay, declined the payment. Apparently, their systems did not expect a payment to take a month to complete. Had yourselves attempted to contact me before cancelling the order, I could have reattempted this. Apparently, Lenovo now have a laptop somewhere built for me but due to delays and suboptimal processes I cannot pay for and receive it. I'm no expert but highly doubt that building hardware and then not allowing customers to pay for & receive it is not good for business.
I have purchased numerous Lenovo computers. I currently own an old ThinkPad X61 and recommend your products to people who want a no nonsense laptop with a good keyboard. Unfortunately, after this experience I will need to reconsider as waiting a month for your order to be simply cancelled is just not good enough."
If we end up like this, please make a law sue, peroid.
