    Great review. You just saved me about $800

    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

    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

      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

    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

    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?

    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.

    • @ZipTieNinja
      @ZipTieNinja  3 місяці тому

      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

    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.
