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.

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 the buck for my homelab by far. For example, my virtualization server (Proxmox) has 2x Intel Xeon E5-2699 with 18 cores/36 threads each and 512GB ECC RAM & 4x 10Gb adapters and it's got out of band IPMI management, which is nice. It was $680 on eBay. Granted, it's a big and loud 30" deep 1u with very low Wife Acceptance Factor, but it was cheap for 72 threads of virtualization goodness. :-)
I hear ya— up until recently my setup was NUCs, SBCs, and rooted NASs for those same reasons. Homelab on compadre!

Will probably take longer than two years to hit that price point, but tech is always a depreciating asset.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank dmgdev
It's definitely helpful information. I initially was excited since the i9 supports ECC, but of course they had to use a chipset that didn't. 😒
I wish the industry would just make this shift already. Seems like hardly the extra cost these days
If anyone finds some direct reviews of these systems it would be appreciated. Most everything out there just seems to cover the documentation of this ridiculous little beast.

Good luck!
