I can't wait for the Charlotte MicroCenter to finally open so I can go inside, browse the PC parts section, and pretend like I have the money to actually buy anything other than a GT710

[@RegBeta]

[@theinktician]

Ideacentre is really more of Lenovo's home computer brand. Thinkcentre is the workstation line - kind of consistent with the laptop naming scheme

[@Lurch-Bot]

It was that way when it was still IBM, before they decided they wanted nothing to do with building business machines. About the only thing worthwhile Lenovo has managed to come up with independent of the old IBM line is their 2 in one lines. Legion is a joke of a brand as far as I'm concerned. Just replace 'Lenovo' with 'IBM' and say it out loud and you'll see what I mean. It is sort of like Alienware post sale or the idea HP can produce a gaming machine. It is all just so....dumb. Products for the ignorant masses. The moment I first heard 'Dell-Alienware', I knew we were all screwed. Gaming laptops are a funny thing. Laptops are power saving and gaming PCs are power hungry. You're not supposed to be able to game on a laptop without plugging it in first. Taking a 4060 and lowering the power level to 45W is just making a crappy GPU. The concepts of 'laptop' and 'gaming PC' are diametrically opposed. That's coming from someone who first gamed on a laptop in 1995, long before they were ever intended for gaming. It is still just as much of a hard compromise in 2024, even with the intent being a 'gaming laptop'. I have one of the earliest, arguably gaming focused laptops which is a P4 Vaio with a desktop CPU and Radeon GPU. It is a brick. It would run the original Far Cry for about 5 minutes before depleting the battery. It has a 200W power brick - I know, you all thought those are a recent trend. My more modern (10th gen) gaming laptop only has a 150W power brick. It will still die after about 15 min of running a modern AAA game.

If you play Fortnite on DX12 low settings you also have to put the view distance to near or else it won't work. Putting everything on low plus view distance on near will remove all the grass and change the builds to the same as performance mode.

If microcenter ever opened in the UK, especially Scotland, it would be out of stock all the time but with our triple import taxes on tech I can kiss that dream goodbye. If it wasnt for order services we wouldnt have anything at all. Our PC world is absolute pre built dell and lenovo super expensive tosh for what it is.

[@vengfulteapot7045]

The fact this Lenovo is Pci-e gen 3 makes virtually no difference. You can watch videos from Hardware Unboxed, Linus Tech Tips, Jaystwocents. All of hem have shown that even a 4090 has less than 1 percent difference in framerate between gen 3 and gen 4. The only time this is relevant is when using some entry level cards like the rtx 4060 or the rx 7600 or even the rx 6500 xt, these cards only use 8 Pci-e lanes vs the 16 lanes most cards use. Running a 8 lane card in a pci-e gen 3 socket will result in a 10-15 % performance penalty. This does not effect cards running 16 lanes, performance of these cards are virtually identical in either gen 3 or gen 4.

You have to be carefull with Lenovo PC's with Ryzen. If the have the PSB option enabled in the BIOS then the CPU will only work on Lenovo systems. AM4 chips have a fuse on them and if the PSB is enable you won't be able to use or sell the CPU without mentioning this. If possible can you check and tell us if that PSB was enabled in the BIOS?

[@Pilaspilas911]

Prebuilts are all about cheap motherboard, cheap psu, cheap ram, and so forth. The only thing you're really paying for is the gpu and cpu because if you want to upgrade, it will take some effort to do so. You can get away with reusing the ram, cpu and gpu, but for the rest of the components, it's kinda garbage.

[@LivvenAgain]

Stay far away from brands like Dell, hp, lenovo, and Alienware. The components such as the power supply, motherboard, and RAM are extremely cheap. I got my prebuilt from Build Pro PC. It's a beautiful PC, and the performance is amazing for what I paid. They are super helpful and friendly too, highly recommend.

Great, another random one-off special deal that nobody else will ever get, showcased on TB like you can just grab them at this price all day long. These guys are just making it harder for me to sell PCs by giving the ignorant unrealistic expectations. I had someone ask me last week to sell a Ryzen 5/ RX6600 build for $600 when I already had it listed for what I could sell the parts for on eBay at $650. If $50 makes the difference whether you buy the PC or not, you can just keep on walking as far as I'm concerned. Asking me to take less than the parts are worth for salvage is a massive insult. I spent way longer stress testing and refurbishing than the TBs ever would when flipping a PC. But a lot of people would rather give their money to a couple of manure shovelers than an honest builder with 30 years of experience. This video is just a good, old fashioned bait and switch. Caveat emptor. I wanna see you run AW2 on this PC, you posers. SMR is an easy touch and Cyberpunk is hardly the new Crysis, just a poorly optimized game on an abortion of an old game engine that runs worse in 2024 than it did at launch. You now need a RX580 to get the kind of performance I got with an R9 380 at launch. I only benchmark my builds with it because of people like TBs. At this point, I am giving a thumbs down to any video with a Microcenter spot, on principle. My nearest one is like 600 mi away and I don't exactly live in the middle of nowhere. The exclusive deal they did for the 5600X3D just speaks volumes and it is way more of a black mark for them than AMD. Microcenter made the choice to make it an in-store only item. If you go to their website, they have like 3 overpriced GPUs for sale online. And if you build out your PC in their store, the markup on all the ancillary parts will negate any bundle deal you get.

[@RobertFixit]

😳

[@b17gfan]

Wow, do you blame every KZbin computer ch for cutting your business? Also, Microcenter's in store combo deals on CPU , mobo, RAM are usually unbeatable. Most of the other parts are lower price than other retailers and they price match. So you end up getting everything at a great price. I've built 6 PCs from parts from them. I know several people who buy parts there for their PC business. During the video card shortage Microcenter was only place that was selling video cards at MSRP and had a decent selection considering
