Lenovo was just selling this on their site at a major discount as well, but it appears they've taken it down. I was able to order on Walmart which states there weren't many left. Lenovo's site does say they price match, however.

Lenovo's reference site doesn't even have this computer listed yet. Closest specifications I can find are the model sold in Canada. 30H00016CA

On price alone, it's a great deal or re-sell opportunity. I wanted something I could put in a rack or small form that I could run a home lab with Ubuntu and Kubernetes - and one that is quiet with lower power requirements. I don't care about gaming or graphics.

I spent a week comparing this to: Mac Mini, or SBC clusters (mostly Orange Pi), and came to conclude this was the way to go. I think my days of building custom machines are done. SBCs for tinkering are okay, but most aside from the RaspPi are difficult and undocumented.

Mac Mini or Studio was tough to compare against. For one, the M1 and M2 have everything soldered and must be purchased. Also, if you try to build a Mini or Studio that can compete in specs with this Lenovo, you'll quickly see that it will be over $4k and you'll end up paying a lot more for better graphics processing.

Are used rack servers off the table for your use case? I've found them to be the best bang for t
