Frustration across the board
Only problems since I got the PC. Sometimes it crashes with just 2 tasks. Constant problems with the GK. First and last Lenovo for me.
Great built quality, a PC to consider if you plan to upgrade your gaming PC / buy new this summer
I have started by looking for a new graphics card, as I moved from a Full HD display to a Wide (2K) display now and my old 1070 was not great for the latest games. A RTX 3080 is about CHF 1,200 now, although it will decrease as the 4xxx generation comes soon on the market. I then realize that my old I7 generation 4 will soon be obsolete, and with a gen 11, I may be safe for a decade. When you compare what you get as parts with this PC, the CHF 2,200 is a great deal if you need to upgrade or buy a PC that will probably serve you the next decade, with a graphics card upgrade in 5 years or so.
I must mention the very quick response form the customer service reps to the technical questions I had.Pro
- Great built quality (e.g. metal case, mesh, etc.)
- Easy to install additional storage solutions
- Overclocking is automatic, if you want it
- Top video card (RTX 3080)
- Great looks
- Fast
- Windows 11
- Over 60 FPS guaranteed at Ultra settings for very new games, typically 80-100 FPS
Contra
- Dissipates heat
- Generally very quiet, but I hear one of the fans when it goes fast
Absolutely Top ! State-of-the art, super performance and quiet !!!!
My old gaming PC goes into retirement. So I thought, what now? For 500 CHF more I would have gotten the 3080ti, but the extra 10% FPS performance is not worth it to me, also the consumption. Yes, no 12th gen i7 chip, but the 11th gen i7 11700K runs absolutely top with this machine and at optimal temperatures. So, there is nothing to complain about, even the sound is good (not breathtaking), but the onboard card delivers good sound. However, I bought a Sound Blaster X3, I grew up in the 80/90s with PC gaming and therefore a Creative fanboy, sound is great, especially since Dolby Atmos immediately recognized my sound card and automatically optimized everything (just had to click ON in the app).
This PC is a prebuilt, which scares many, because somewhere is saved. But no, even here the components are all good brands, the SSD is from Samsung ! The device runs super quiet!
The only thing that bothers me, it has no multi SD card reader.
In summary: Top device, just top ! So, you could also look at Youtube. This one, Lenovo T7, cost/quality way, the best there is. Asus for example is also top, but way too loud, this one is extremely quiet when gaming ! I am totally surprised here!Pro
