Should you buy the Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5i?!

Looking for a gaming desktop but don't feel like building your own?! Then look past the Lenovo IdeaCentre Gaming 5i! Kidding..... kind of....

Buy your own: https://geni.us/LFpx

It's a gaming computer that's sub $700, however your really paying for the graphics card in this thing, which admittedly, is one of if not its only best asset.

Review unit specs:
-RTX 3050 8GB
-512GB NVMe
-Intel i5 12th Gen
-8GB DDR4 RAM

*I/O:* The I/O on this computer is one of its biggest failings. It has only one USB-C port on the front, and only 4 regular USB 2 ports on the back.

*Features:* There really aren't many to speak of. You only get a cheap 500w power supply but at least unlike the Dell XPS it's not as proprietary and you could upgrade it later down the road. The inside only features one PCI Express mini slot so expandability is limited on here as well.

Are there worse options? Absolutely! But don't expect miracles from this thing. Just some casual gaming every so often.
