Lenovo IdeaCentre LOQ | 17L Gaming Desktop PC | Intel Core i5-13400F | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti | 16GB RAM | 1TB SSD | Windows 11 Home | Raven Black

Excellent cheap gaming desktop. For the price this is a very capable budget gaming desktop. The 12gb RTX3060 still performs well even on newer games. I have been playing many newer games in high settings and getting excellent frame rates at 2k resolution. Setting up pc is very easy and you are guided step by step. Very quick boot up and Windows is quick and responsive. Only real negative is as other reviews have noted is sorting out the 'out of date' warranty when registering. Overall the bang per buck is outstanding and at about £700 for a capable gaming pc with rtx card and16gb ram is still very good value for money.

I realised my old Dell Gaming PC was struggling with games like Cities Skylines and not much more I could upgrade. Therefore, I moved on to a Lenovo, I already have a Lenovo laptop to compare to and Motorola phone also made by Lenovo so I felt pretty comfortable.On arrival, I realised it didn't have SD or other card slots, this was a bit of a shock as I thought this was standard, however, after checking the listing this was my fault for not realising.Mine did arrive with Mouse and Keyboard, so it looks like the luck of the draw if you get one!The one odd thing, though, is that it feels slow. It isn't, and comparing friends' PCs, it isn't. I don't know if it's just this version of Windows 11. Either way, you can get cheaper if you build yourself, and I am sure there are better PCs out there, but so far, Leanne (Lenovo) has never let me down.

good

Its a decent desktop, The included graphics card is decent for the price.Set up is very straightforward.However, a couple of things to note:You cant upgrade the ram properly without flashing the bios - 3200 4gb ddr4 will only run at 2133 based frequency and theres no option in the bios to run it to full spec.You cant adjust much of anything in the bios as lenovo lock them to basic settings which is a bit ridiculous especially if you need to upgrade any of the motherboard components.It also arrived and says its two years out of warranty...its a brand new computer...Also need to make sure you plug your HDMI into the graphics card or you'll get no video output.I've bought much better systems for far less ( comparing to when they were bought and what was available etc)

I have no issues with my pc. Except when i tried to register it, it says its already registered and warranty has expired.

I'm not a PC gamer but my son wanted to venture into it & I thought I'd go for a half decent 1st PC, I'm a novice but I know various cable types, connections, etc...My first disappointment was realising that it is only the tower unit, you will need to purchase everything else, speakers, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, even though clearly it states at the bottom of the listing that the additional equipment comes in the box (even though they spelt Keyboard wrong "keybord") thankfully the first time round I missed the "in the box" part and purchased the additional equipment anyway but still unhappy as weirdly it feels like I'm missing what I paid for.The second thing was the connections, with the monitor I bought, thankfully it came with a HDMI cable, I plugged this into the PC and got nothing, only a message on my monitor that said "no source", I tried another HDMI cable, same thing again, I drove to Curry's and bought a VGA cable and connected that from the PC to the monitor, again same message "no source", at this point I was certain I would have to send the PC back, I thought maybe there's just a loose connection inside the PC and looked at screws to open it up...this is when I spotted an additional HDMI slot that wasn't on diagram, I plugged it into this and the picture popped up.I'm not sure what a reputable company like Lenova are playing at with a poor listing with spelling mistakes and slots that aren't working, but in future I'll be avoiding the brand if this is its default.As for performance, a little slow, it's handled the games thrown at it so far but basic programs take a while to start, alot of spinning blue circles, feel like for over a grand it's not worth the money.

I would give this five stars but for the software that comes with it isn't necessary

The pc itself is very good quality as you’d expect from Lenovo . But when purchasing I was looking for a complete set-up as a gift ! The listing states ,included components (Monitor keyboard &Speakers ) none of which arrived ! After raising the issue with Amazon, I was informed they would look in to it but nothing came of this ! Others have had this problem and the listing still hasn’t changed so obviously false advertising on purpose to get a sale ! For future large purchases I will use my local shops ! Very frustrating
