Nice review. One thing about this PSU is that it seems to be based on Intel's new ATX12VO standard but with its own layout. So it may be possible to install better power supply but I wasn't able to look for a good 500W+ TFX PSU. Thought about buying a prebuilt including this, but in the end, the best PC is the one that you build yourself for your needs. Cool little box though. May be good for something like a home server.
Yes, a built computer would certainly be better in many ways. I stated throughout the video that this is not upgradable, since so many people buy them assuming they are and are disappointed that they aren't
Nice review! Wanted to see the inside of this box and it is what I expected. Just bought one of these, as I'm too lazy to build my own stuff anymore and just need an office machine to replace my 7 year old Lenovo laptop that literally has the silkscreen worn off many of it's keys from work use. If not working my fingers to the bone, the keys are getting worked to the bone 😄 Speaking of self built boxes, two 12 year old "ivy bridge" i5 systems I built are still running just fine, they outlasted Windows 10 it seems. There are good Black Friday deals out there now, just picked up one of these with an i7 14700 and 16 GB of RAM and a 512 SSD, no optical drive (I think, don't really care) for $699 from Office Depot. Will probably pop a 1TB SSD in the empty bay. Also grabbed a nice Dell monitor on sale to replace the laptop's screen. The new system Should last me until I retire in a few years!
I’m not an amateur gamer, but I still love to play some games. My plan is to purchase a pc like this one and add a gpu to it later. Is this Lenovo my bad option in this case? If yes, could you recommend a suitable machine for my plan?
if it has 250w psu, it will handle a decent low profile gpu with no issue. like gtx1650 or rtx 3050 6gb low profile versions as they draw around 65w to 72w at maximum load. i have used gtx1650 on a lenovo v50t, which has a i5 10400 in it, and it worked totally fine.
Hi! Good video. I noticed that there was only one audio out hole, but I didn't found any microphone hole to plug in one, how can it be fixed? Is there the mic hole located in other side not shown in this video? Thanks for you answer:)
Without knowing what drives the wireless monitors that is difficult to answer. If they are usb, just about anything probably can, but probably not well. I always wire monitors
6:24 Hi and thanks. Great review of this model I am considering. But, I have some older, small, Bose speakers I would like to use. I play a lot of music. I am wondering about compatibility and quality of the sound, since, there is only the headphone jack. I don't use headphones. And, there doesn't appear to have room for a SATA backup drive. Thanks, Mary.
if your bose speakers plug in with a headphone type 3.5mm jack, like most, it will work fine (rear green jack). you can add a SATA SSD or HDD, you may need screws that are not included
How are thermals on this? I want it for casual stuff cloud gaming and some esports at low settings like valorant, im concern about that weird cpu fan, it will last?? Ty
I see that there is an option for an optical disc drive on the 5i ideacentre pc which is the one I purchased my question is can you insert an optical disc drive into the optical disc drive slot and if so does the pc come with one installed and if not where can I get an ODD to insert myself? Thanks.
Great Video and Thanks, I subbed 👍 will a Lenovo IdeaCentre 141RR9 Tower (Intel i7 desktop) be able to run on a HHD with a missing SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 TLC on the motherboard?
Yes, a regular hard disk will work to install Windows on if you remove the M.2 ssd. You can also just add a spinning hard drive for extra storage and keep the SSD
A new processor using only 8GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM seems like a bad idea. My laptop has 32GB of that speed of RAM. How good are UHD graphics on these 13th generation chips?
@@TheTastefulThicknessgood enough for email? Hahhahhahhaha I wouldn't come for you when buying a budget pc with good performance, which can handle all the apps I need.
do you do give aways im looking to buy a gen 3 or and gen 4 Lenovo ThinkCentre monitor and i was looking to see if you had a mini pc for a give away like a m7020q
I'm debating about getting a pc again with lenovo brand one of brands im thinking about getting. Though only downside i know my family would want to use it and while love them every time they use my pc's i had in past they always hogged it even though i bought said pc for myself end up screwing it somehow.

Great review. You just saved me about $800
Glad to help!

Correct! Sadly, people buy these all the time, expecting to put a RTX4060 in it...
Can the device handle Eclipse and Java?
Can we not just buy a 400w psu and connect a gpu to that. Without touching that 260w psu?
Assuming you're okay with manually turning the external PSU on, and that you have a "Power ON Self Tester", then sure, that'll work
Hi! Good video. I noticed that there was only one audio out hole, but I didn't found any microphone hole to plug in one, how can it be fixed? Is there the mic hole located in other side not shown in this video? Thanks for you answer:)
The front is a headset Jack that uses a four-pole 3.5 mm headset. The rear Jack is an audio out only
Great video, Thank you for sharing! Will this be able to run three wireless monitors?

There does not appear to be a SD slot????

This PC can it support and added RAM? if yes 16GB isn't? Is possibile to share a technical video ?

Hard to say if you have the connections and if it will fit. Easier to just use this: amzn.to/407MYWs

@@ZipTieNinja THANK You So Much. Happy Holidays to You
Is this good for work but a 16gb ram
Is the computer ok for streaming?
yes
Would you recommend this for university ((no gaming) and the 16gb RAM model)?
yes!
A new processor using only 8GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM seems like a bad idea. My laptop has 32GB of that speed of RAM. How good are UHD graphics on these 13th generation chips?
Good enough for email
Not bad, but certainly not for gaming or graphic editing
@@TheTastefulThicknessgood enough for email? Hahhahhahhaha I wouldn't come for you when buying a budget pc with good performance, which can handle all the apps I need.
@@TheLordismystrenght7 I didn't ask for you to come to me for anything.
@@TheTastefulThickness hahhahahhaha
great video!
thanks!
Is this good for graphic design?
No, you would be better off with dedicated graphics like this:
amzn.to/3BSprPN
its have slot to upgrade ram?
Yes, this is covered in the video
do you do give aways im looking to buy a gen 3 or and gen 4 Lenovo ThinkCentre monitor and i was looking to see if you had a mini pc for a give away like a m7020q
Hi, Thanks for this video, getting this error The audio peripheral doesn't appear to be plugged in check the connection, how i can resolve this issue
Other than drivers it could be a hardware problem.
Ele roda games, tipo Counter strike e call of Duty?

How do you enter the BIOS?
F1, or "shift restart"
That's the worst CPU cooler design I've ever seen. It blows straight to the non-perforated I/O shield.
Its 750$. Just get a minisforum or beelink PC for less money and more performance. Not competitive in 2023
No room for a GPU at all I guess. At least not a big one. Might be okay for casual games?
The one in the video has no GPU
You can probably do a very basic graphics card that doesn't require more than 100 watts.
I would certainly recommend a name brand over those
8gb of ram is just a cruel joke
Honestly, for most people who just do email, web surfing, & MS Office, it's enough.
do u think if it has 16 ram it can run games
Joke would be a hard disk (only) for os
I've ran 512 MB and been happy
@@ZipTieNinja Only because youre a liar. Go ahead and show a video of you doing day to day tasks with 8GB of ram vs 64 GB. I dare you.
