I bought that Crucial ram and unfortunately it does not clock up to its rated speed. It runs at 2666Mhz. I'll see if I can find a third party kit that would work.
Thanks for watching y'all!
i'm interested to see what works. i have a ibuypower prebuilt (b/c i know f*** all about building my own), and i was curious to know which ram would work. I've heard these pc's don't operate higher than 2666mhz for ram.
Thank you because i tried it and it didn't even read the ram at 3600Mhz idk if i got bad ram sticks or if it was the computer and it was my first prebuilt it took me forever to figure out the problem yesterday but i got it working with the old 3200Mhz it came with plus it was in dual channel on the ryzen 7 3700x with the 1660 super version so not a big problem
is it ok if I upgrade my GPU with an RTX 3070 without upgrading my power supply?
thanks if you find one that works ill click that link and order it.
hiperx predator, 16gigs (2x8) it works oc on 3400mhz stabile... with ryzen 3200g
Dawid is the one guy on RUclips who feels like he’s talking to you and not the camera
Well spotted. He also doesn't apologise a lot or say "aboot!" (which is how I expect most Canadians talk).

This is a very accurate observation.
That's very kind of you to say. 😁
Lenovo for pre-builts is definitely king, bought one a few months ago still running great, came with dual channel ram too for around $800.
im buying one in a few days and one question wich drivers did u install when you first bought it
i just bought levon i for 1500. it’s coming on friday and my first pc
same
I paid 2100$ for my Lenovo Legion early 2021, because of AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU. GPU is RTX 3070.
With new 27" 165 hz monitor, 2TB of more SSD and 4.TB HDD made the PC costed me 3000$. I already had proper keyboard and mouse.
@@V3ntilator hey what power supply did you get like the wattage
You had me laughing out loud at “Leg-Ion”. Now I can’t un see that.
Leggg Ion gets me every time LOL
Right!
perhaps this's gonna be the one that's gonna get a "eh, it's not bad" from Steve?
5/10
"it's a way to get graphics cards"
@Leumens You're right. Searching youtube shows no major channels talking about this line of prebuilts. They always seem to focus on Dell and HP which are really fun to rag on. But looking at their site, the prices are reasonable and with the parts being easily upgradeable, I think I might try to convince my boss to get me one for my work.
Lol exactly. Since this is the top comment I like to add on another note that when they put one stick of ram in there it's actually a good thing. It gets people who are just getting into PC's to upgrade their rig. One stick of RAM is like the gateway drug of PC's. Before you know it they'll be building their own and it all started with adding that second stick of RAM.
@@easley421 @@easley421 i can see where you're coming from, but I'd think forcing people into spaces they aren't comfortable going into isn't really the best thing.
Also, since this pc only support JEDEC memory, they might buy a high speed kit of ram only to end up finding out that it doesn't run at it's advertised speed. I wouldn't want to be in that situation. Imagine trying to explain to the seller why you have to return the kit.
People buy prebuilts cause they're not ready/not willing to build their own PCs, so i really do think that OEMs should be able to deliver that experience without them having to tinker with the PC.
Is it really that much more expensive for OEMs to get dual channel ram in their prebuilts?
That being said, i did actually got into PC building due to a lenovo prebuilt(H520s). Decided to use my allowance to buy that extra 4gb stick of ram after alot of researching, getting into and understanding PCs's actually pretty hard, especially if you can't tell the difference between a monitor and a PC.
@@Moskeeto Hope you have a nice boss! Good luck, friend! 👍👍😀😀
Legion but dawid has now made it "leg-eye-on"
I think it actually means "legiron", hinting at the performance. (single stick of RAM and such)
I think it is "leg-iron", as in the heavy weight the mafia attaches to your legs before dumping you into the river.
I was just reading it how it was on the box. 😂
Leg - ion just like the box said, two words.
Ligeon is the pronunciation though the speeling is legion
I really do love that they gave you the option of having all of the Lenova branded bloatware installed piece by piece. It's nice getting to choose what may or may not be useful to a user.
single channel ram eh how bad could it possibly be lol
Wow, to see a pre-build that actually has standard pc parts in it that you can swap/upgrade. That is rare.
personally i've got sort of a pre-built, you buy a package of parts that you can't really change parts of via their store, and they build it for you no extra costs + it's the standard pc parts and not the pre-built crap
@@marijn17s ah yes. that kinda pre-build is ok of cause. I was thinking mostly of the big corporates like Dell & HP where when you come home & open the case you will find some horrible custom motherboard where you cant change anything & perhaps the PSU has been replaced with like a laptop power block. I thankfully also has a local store selling "upgrade" packs with real pc parts so you can choose things yourself, whew.
@@cholohd32 if you get a custom motherboard and want to swap parts out, can you just buy another motherboard that supports it?
@@user-su6js9po4l Technically yes, but there may be more than one issue that hinders it. I mean is the case iself even ATX motherboard compatible? They quite often cut/blocks/moves things around in big corp factory prebuilds to save money. Who knows if you can even fit a real pc motherboard in it physically ? Then there is the issue of the weird partition on the SSD that factory prebuilds usually come with. On one hand Windows has always been hugely good & flexible to me. Ive manage multiple times to move HDDs/SSD from one pc to a brand new one. And even thou Windows got highly confused by the complete change in hardware it still managed to pull thru (and didnt even ask to reactivate windows). But that was on open normal pcs. But on a factory pc the motherboard bios is usually locked/limited in some way & the partition is custom with a specific recovery partition & they even control windows update as you get messages like "we are working on something" instead of the actuall windows update messages. Who knows if it will even boot on a new motherboard. Hopefully the SSD/Hdd can be reformatted at least & reused (but i have seen sitations like xbox/playstation formatted hdds that couldnt be reformatted back to pc). If you can remove the ram & CPU/cooler normally from the old motherboard you may be able to reuse them as i doubt they change those, however in bad cases those might be "onboard" or soldered down. So make sure to backup your files individually before ever even thinking of attepting "upgrading" such a pc (aka not just the partition, as it encrypted by your windows account that you may never again access if it goes wrong. Actually move you importent files manually yourself to a thumbdrive/external hdd for safekeepin's).
Normally oem's void your warranty if you even open them but lenovo actually encourages you to upgrade your device, even with notebooks

I am actually thinking of doing an e-waste peripheral shoot out.
Have to say... my Lenovo Legion lasted me many years and still using it. It is very stable and durable.
As a newbie to this whole scene, I appreciate the fact you didn’t make me feel like a lost idiot. I was on the fence with this and another PC you made a video on.
Thank you for helping me make an informed decision 🙏🤙
Dawid and Linus upload at the same time:
I think I’ll go with Dawid this time
Last time I watched a Linus video it had twomad in it and Linus was so confused 🤣
Wrong choice, son.
Dawid has a better command of vocabulary
Always pick Dawid. At least you won't get bashed over the head with self promotion.
to be fair this is a guy in his apartment, Linus is the head of a company with others depending on him for their living.
Best way to learn if a side panel is glass is to drop it flat from about 20 feet. If it shatters, it’s glass. If it just breaks, it’s probably not glass.
I often drop it twice just to double check.
Finally someone did a fairly proper review on this system.. i dont know why it took so much time for reviewers to inspect this system
I got a Legion tower 5i a few weeks ago and I'm loving it, and you only help me feel better with my choice
Just ordered it today from Best Buy and ordered the ram from Amazon. They’ll both be coming in this Thursday.
How you liking this Desktop?
@@Aj80503 so far love it. For me, playing Arma 3 (campaign) and Zero Hour run smooth.
Right now the only real negatives are, no display port and only 1 HDMI. There is a VGA port.
And the 256g SSD.
Where dawid gets all of his one liners and zingers Im not sure. What i do know is they're amazing. Keep it up dawid!
Thank you! I'm not sure where they come from. 😂
Must be from the voices in his head.
By far the funniest tech guy on youtube.
The ryzen 7 version of this actually comes with dual channel ram
same with the i7 10700/RTX 1660S
All of the variants with 16gb of ram that i have looked up are listed as being dual channel. (8+8)
So maybe they only use 8gb sticks?
Since i guess if they standardized on 8gb sticks that would save money.
vs having both 4gb and 8 gb sticks.
Even the 16gb version of this setup
(Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660 Super) is dual channel.
And to be fair i would say that 8gb is
Probably borderline even for a new gaming PC today anyway.
(Even in the budget class)
So even if it was 8gb dual channel you would probably want to upgrade it anyway.
I was thinking of also having a look at the higher end version. They look promising.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Do it! This was the best oem prebuilt I've seen, and the higher end version is probably the one most people would consider buying, assuming it has a half decent graphics card. Edit: I've just looked at the options, and I really wish you could find the Ryzen 5800 version in stock, and its really too bad everything has a 1660 super gpu at best. If you are feeling extra Spendy, I see a CLX 10900k and a Rtx 3070 for $3000? I still wish the Ryzen 5800/ Rtx 2070 version of the Lenovo could be had.

There’s a Legion 5 desktop on Costco with a 10400, 16gb, and 1660 super for only $900. Absolutely insane value for the current market
i got that one a month and a half ago exept it came with 8 gb ram but then i upraded to 32 gb

I recommended my sister buying one of those Legion systems. It really stood out against the competition and was even one of the cheapest. Her 16GB were also actually dual channel, which is nice.
how is her legion after 3 years? still great?
@@soon1337 Yup, she was only looking at GPU upgrade lately.
I purchased a legion desktop directly from Lenovo 3 months ago. I have been very satisfied with it. Build quality, part selection, and price where right on point. The one I went with has an I9-10900k, 32gb ram, 2x1tb nvme drives, and a rtx 3070
@@dod1721 Same spec here. CPU cooler is super good (same as the one in Dawid’s although mine is the T7 which is bigger than the one shown in the video) and you can option an AIO as well. Temps are VERY stable around 65-70 running Doom Eternal, Halo Infinite, etc at max settings and, in Doom’s case, with Raytracing enabled.
I have a similar (same brand) computer. It was bought on sale from Best Buy. It has played every game I have tried super well. I have really been happy with it
i bought this pc yesterday and it is a really good pc. I bought one with 16gb ram which really makes my game run smoother. if anyone is going to buy a new pc soon i really recomend this one!
Thanks Dawid for buying these pre-builts and testing it for us!
Still can’t stick the Ryzen badge on straight though.
Haha!! Yeah, that is pretty annoying.
I was hoping someone was going to mention the jaunty angle of the sticker, reckon that makes the PC much faster

Bought my Legion T5 back in May (i5 10400F, 2x8GB 2933mhz RAM, RTX 3060) and I've had 0 issues so far. Absolutely loving it
I'm using my Lenovo prebuilt from 2007 still. It's slow, but reliable. Upgraded it with an SSD a few years ago and it gets the job done.
Haven't even watched the video and I already know its gonna be good
EDIT: It's a good video
😁
I love these prebuilt videos. These are the videos that keeps me coming back, keep it up bro!
I have this one. I really like it! Already upgraded the GPU to a 2070 and it runs awesome especially for my first PC.
My first pc was a lenovo pre-built pc back in mid 2000s. It had an intel dual core processor, 256mb of ram, 256 gb of Hdd and came with windows Xp. Later on, I upgraded the ram to 1gb and added an ati 4850 1gb graphics card. It ran for 10 years, and could've run for more but the poor soul just couldn't handle the newer softwares and sold it for 1/15 of the price. I still have fond memories of me playing skyrim and dragon age in it.
I bought a Legion with Ryzen 7, 16Gb dual channel and a RTX 3070 and I'm pretty happy about it.
The only thing is that with some usb devices I have to use a powered hub because the usb ports on the computer doesn't deliver enough power.

Dawid, you are quickly becoming one of my favorite content creators, keep up the awesome work you're doing!
I actually deploy a lot of Lenovo systems in corporate environments, and my son has a "Leg Ion" (😅) laptop. The vantage software is quite lightweight and very useful. Even when re-imaging new Lenovo systems with a custom build, I often put the Vantage software back. It's that useful, with no appreciable strain on day-to-day use.
Vantage is just the "HP Support Asistant" of Lenovo.
Both seem reasonably useful and relatively benign. 🤷♂️ I'm genetally fine with both being installed by their respective mfgs.
I was a thinkpad fan boy for a long time but after the t430 they started making them so difficult to customise and upgrade I gave up with them.
It seems like with the recent legions they might just be heading back to what made them great, hopefully they stay on this path.
As someone who works retail, I got a kick every time I saw Legion's boxes stacked side by side...
Me almost every day: "Heh... Leg Leg Ion Ion"
My personal bit of experience with lenovo service has been awesome. I bought their extended warranty package for like 15 bucks on my laptop and that gave me 3 more years of support. I cracked my screen the second day I bought it by closing the lid while an earphone waa on the keyboard and got it replaced for free. (I know!). The whole process was flawless, the engineer came to my house and repaired it for me. Then every year or so my hdd kept failing because of my stupid use and ive gotten 3 replacement for free. They also fixed my webcam not working for free once, and ram stick that was unseated. I also got a laptop power brick replaced for free. And lastly I found my laptop was overheating so I got it cleaned and repasted for them for like 10 dollars. All in all, awesome support. The laptop still works and is my workstation after 5 years of use
I have the legion T5 desktop and yes I ordered the 16gb version but I was a bit sad to find that it came with a single 16 gb stick. Although the specs are way different it's an Intel 10700 with rtx 3070 so maybe it doesn't makes much of a difference. Would really love if you can do a review of the higher end legion desktop towers as well. I honestly think Lenovo is very underrated OEM builder
Lenovo makes pretty great computers and I was surprised how good their gaming desktops were.
listen to the voices again then
Yes but they crash a lot
Dawid:- Climbs mountain in the beginning

Crazy how i still have my first ever pc which started as a prebuilt from NZXT and it came with an i5-9400F an MSI GTX1660ti OC which i still have but upgraded the cpu. 16gigs of RAM 3200Mhz idk remember the mobo but i bought a new Z390, it came with a decent cpu cooler i still use, just a DEEPCOOL gammax 400 and 1tb 665p m.2 ssd and i got it all for under $1,000 it’s so crazy seeing the prices now. I’ve upgraded everything except my RAM, GPU, SSD but i upgraded my PSU, CPU and MOBO so im ready for a new GPU and im gonna turn the old parts into a second pc. Just need to find a 3060ti or 3070 for a decent price. NZXT used to be great with their prebuilds but i luckily got mine like 3 months before the lockdowns.
Lol they dropped the GPU down to a regular 1660 and this thing still costs $1150 USD which is crazy man, i hope my GPU lasts until i can get a new one or ill end up having to buy a used 20 series. I have maybe this year and next year to play new AAA games at frames above 120 and that’ll be at medium/Low setting by then :( im sad
I bought this prebuilt but it's a different variant where it actually had 2 sticks of ram which surprised me when I opened it
Damn gg
Even though Gamers Nexus is getting into this, I still say Dawid is the OG of Prebuilt hunting
So are we going to call this the lenovo legion winner coolface?
Haha!! Great name.
With the GPU shortage I got a Lenovo Tower 7i. Which is a Core i9 10900k 32GB of RAM and a nice 3080. I love it. It gets insanely good thermals! as good as any build short of 100% watercooled. It didn't have the same problem with the memory configuration.
Just got the mid-tier variation, which has been on sale before the holidays: 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD and I am loving it! Does everything you would hope for as a console convert.
I love the way they didn’t even line the ryzen sticker up straight 💪🏼
I'm surprised this is $20 cheaper than the piece of crap dells going around with 1660 supers.
It's probably cheaper due to less technical support and other Bs warranty business
Wow! That's crazy. Rubitupdad makes an interesting point. However I would pay not to get Dell's technical support. 😂
@@DawidDoesTechStuff lmao great video I'm sure it'll be on gamers Nexus next.

Ive basically given up on GPUs for my Dell 9010 Optiplex since I just got my Gtx1650 OC LP-card(brand new, and for 260 euros, cheap in these crazy days lol) refunded due to working once. Then never again. Been desperately trying to get a gpu that fits my weak Dell PSU for 6+months.
Everything is out of stock everywhere and Im not payin 500-600 euros for a gtx 1650 when I can buy a pre-built around that price.
Def want a pre-built now, a budget-one. I just wanna game a little bit, then I want to use the GPU for research-purposes, AI-machine learning(Im learning now about that).
why he spells it like "leg-ion"?
I bought the T530 with i5 9400F and gtx 1660Ti for my son 2 years ago when 16 series and gen 9 was new. It had a really pathetic cpu cooler and a single exhaust fan so we put a Tx3evo and a 120 intake in the front and it is still rocking. We went for 16 gigs dualchannel already back then. I must say this looks a WAY better, and also has four ram slots.
Ah yes! You and LTT uploaded at the same split second!!!
Since I have a lenovo legion T5, I can officially say it's a great prebuilt!
Hi is this Computer a better prebuilt than the Dell G5 or the HP Omen 25l or the omen 30l?
What aboit asus pcs..are they good prebuilts? Should i go for them or this one?.. the one i m looking at right now comes with core i7 with 32 gb rtx ram 3070.
Bought one of these with a i9-10900K and 3080 (came with GPU support to combat the weight+length!) Dual channel 32gig RAM and air cooler. Its been a blast! Just another thing of note:
Lenovo has moved all the CPU and GPU tweak settings to Lenovo Vantage (still not as good as having them in the BIOs but you can still change some settings concerning voltage and stuff there). I was also able to simply opt out of all extra bloatware when I started it for the first time and just had to uninstall mcafee to get rid of it. Been very happy with this system so far!
But ya gotta love that single stick of ram in all prebuilts it's like the boss battle in any video game near impossible to beat
I’ve swapped out plenty of cooling solutions for customers that has these glued on back plates. Hair dryer works wonders and they pop right off.
When he mentioned that he hasn't mentioned single stick ram configurations in his video lmfaoooo
I’ve had a Lenovo y700 and a legion y530 and loved both of them.
I bought a Lenovo Legion last year! Been running the 1660 Super but finally ordered a 3070 so will be putting that in when it gets here in the mail!😃 Great PC!
i feel like steve from GN would actually give this one a chance
but it's not oooozzzing pusss out of every orifice so are you sure?
He tried it but uhh... didn't like it that much.
He gave it a bad review
Dawid does tech stuff > Linus tech tips every time.
Agreed
Dawid does tech stuff= Randomgaminginhd
the fact that Linus makes no effort to review Lenovo is mind blowing. Looks like Lenovo doesnt pay to play with Linus and spends its money on the product.
Dawid actually has soul though......
Ya all I have learned from Ltt, is people with small hands that wear sandals drop stuff.🤷♂️
I got a version of this with an i7 and it's great. Playing Destiny 2 on it and I'm absolutely delighted. Definitely lots of bloat, but easy to fix.
doesn't McAfee hog all of the performance?
@@decliningship4208 I did a fresh install so that I would have the McAfee VD
At this point Dawid could build a whole house made of pre-built PC's
If he and Steve from gamersNexus Worked together they could build a city
Hey, so there's a Legion 7i, which seems to overcome some of the shortcomings of the T5, including dual channel ram, and it seems to have even more fans. Now, the main downside is the fact that it's normally $2,000 for the 2070 Super version, but you can sometimes get it on sale for $1,500, which is way more reasonable.
So yeah, in conclusion: If you want to further spiral into your journey to brokenness, then you can put it on your list of prebuilts to examine.
Interesting-the model that Dawid reviewed here seems so different compared to the one Gamers Nexus did especially in regards to airflow.
The cooler back plate will come off super easy with some heat. It is held there with double sided tape.
I love this video, watched it 3 times, did my research with all the other reviews and channels and found this one the most helpful so i did get a lenovo legion and I love it! thank you dawid for the content, keep it up and Merry Christmas!
I do remember years upon years ago that Lenuovo had amazing laptops.
Bro, every time you said "Leg-Eye-On" I hit the floor. OMG! LMFAO!
It's just leg-ion. You know, a leg with an electric charge.
Lenovo's Legion lineup is definitely a beast. I use their laptop as my daily driver and man I don't have a single complaint
Hats off to this leg end for buying up the prebuilts and giving us mere mortals a look into what it's like to own a pc in 2021 👍
Let's say it all together, thank you Lenovo
Was debating buying one of these a few months ago with a 1660 super in it for 700 dollars. Was a pretty good deal, but I ended up building a pc when I saw the mobo and stuff. Wanted to build anyways.
I bought the 3060 Ti version with a Ryzen 7, actually a really great pre-built!
I order a few lenovo from time to time, and was impressed, but I normally build my own
Ah finally something I can recommend to someone since everything else they want isn’t in stock.
8:53 your side panel is either dented or you did an awesome job putting it back on...
I bought my Lenovo Legion 5i desktop from Costco and it came with a GTX 1660 super with 16 GB of Ram duel channel and I upgraded the Ram to 32 GB and on top of the 1TB HDD I installed a additional 8TB HDD to hold all my games and had it for a year now and still works like a king 😎🙌
Yeah mine came with 16gb ram which isn't bad but I will be getting 2 8gb Corsair to get a total of 32gb I won't need anymore than that
10:52 that cooler back plate has got four bolts, so maybe you can unscrew the bolts with the hexagon screw driver.
It's super easy to get of. Just heat it up abit with a hairdryer then push on the skrewpins from the inside. Changed to a Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo without any issue. Was just strange using the Intel 115x bracket for a AMD processor 😂
I ordered the Lenovo legion 7i in tower which has some promising specs for a pre-built for $2000 packing an i9-11900k, 32gb ddr4, liquid aio + 3 120mm fans, 1tb ssd + 1tb 7200rpm hhd and an rtx 3070 so it'll be interesting to see if the legion series is still going strong.

Micro Center is having an awesome deal on the Lenovo Legion T5i 26IOB6 right now. I hurried and ordered one. I could have gotten an MSI R gaming computer from Costco for about $300 more with almost identical hardware. When I saw what the cooling fans could do opposed to the MSI I knew I was getting even a better deal. I’m really excited and it comes with Spider-Man Remastered. Glad you had a informative video.
Yup
Just picked one up tonight to upgrade the kiddos limping pre-built from 2 years ago. Seems to be running smooth. Though I'm not seeing any clear definitive answer for upgrading the ram here. Wish I understood deeptek-speak.
I'm running the r7 3700x and rtx 3070 legion one. Honestly it's great.
The mounting for the cooler was intel 75x75mm instead of normal am4 which was strange and took some time to figure out to change the cooler.
But man it's a great pre-built, and with the 3070 for the price it was more than worth it at the moment.
how is it after 3 years?
Regardless of other products, Lenovo definetly put very much effort to the Legion lineup. The lineup has some of the best gaming laptops, great to see the desktop products are decent as well.
Lenovo has been usually good with ThinkPads too.
I really wonder why these do these two groups well and then we get superfish on an IdeaPad. But then again Lenovo laptop keyboards are good so all laptops from that got that going for them. :p
I have basically this PC, upgraded to 16GB dual channel RAM though, but I adore the thing, it plays pretty much everything I could ever want to play. It's amazing. I also slapped two more fans up on the top mesh as exhausts to help the CPU exude heat.

I just ordered a legion with ryzen 5800 and a gtx 1660 super so excited
I own the Ryzen 7 one. All I had to do was change the power supply from 400w to a 750w. Also, changed my ram from the one that came with to RGB one from Cosair. I love it. Getting 140FPS in warzone.
Crucial seems to have a really good track record for compatibility, especially with OEM, it’s all I buy honestly.
So crucial pcs are a legit company? Nice. I got ripped off by cyberpower tbh
Amazingly good compare to some of the others you have reviewed Dawid.. regarding Ram I purchased 1 of the Acer nitro gaming pc very cheaply(450 AUD) and it has the i5-9400 8 gig single stick of 2666 ram a 1650 graphics card so a good buy even with the problems it has ,,the windows re install fixed the bloatware issue and I purchase another stick of CL 19 2666 ram and it immediately recognizes it so that was a gamechanger and finally fitted a fan to the rear of the case making for a pretty good alternative and at $450 aussie dollars with another $50 for ram and a few dollars for a fan its now comparable with the rest of the i5-9400 gaming computers around at about half the price. $450 AUD is about $328 US
I bought a Lenovo a year ago. I'm happy with my purchase. At the time, it was the cheapest route to go with GPU prices and availability. Recently, I upgraded my PSU to a Corsair 750.
I bought a Lenovo Legion computer the little small air fryer looking one in late 2019.
Stock it came with one stick of RAM which I easily upgraded to dual 32gb.
NVME m.2 is cheap but it came with a cooler on it which is good considering small form factor.
Easily upgraded the case fans to noctua fans, cut out some metal parts that were blocking the fans, and cut the top part of it so the gpu can breathe. Still looks good btw.
All to say that the computer is still running today, and its great since all in all I only paid $900 for upgrades, and the computer itself.
Only downside to it is the small form factors really makes the case heat up even with blower style gpu, and motherboard has no real bios so I cant actually change fan speeds, ram speeds, or anything else really. Kinda lame but for $900 not bad being able to run the new triple A games.
"Dat pre intro tho"... serious Adult Swim bump vibes
I sold a few Leg ions in my retail days, they just... sorta semi get it :L even the laptops are not total trash!
I recently bought one back in early November. Within 3 days of use the entire system blue screened and was unable to connect or see the WIFI icon - it was a hardware failure. Brought the pc back to the store and they gave me an entirely new unit. Today I had the same fucking BSOD for just having two applications open. Unbelievable.
Keep it up my guy, the future is bright. Right now your LTT light, the decision to. Go for that niche was genius, but also offers me who knows better justify myself.
