News Lenovo Legion Tower 5

I saw this mentioned alongside some new gaming laptops.

Lenovo Introduces Suite of AMD Ryzen Gaming PCs

AMD releases throughout summer and fall.

Seems like they could have gone with a bit less CPU, and a bit more GPU, but for someone looking for a prebuilt SFF starting under $1000 it could be a good option.

Fun fact: a few generations back, the Legion Y530 is one of the extremely few laptops to have a physical mini DisplayPort supporting DP 1.4. It is also one of the cheapest with DP 1.4 support, most other laptops with DP 1.4 are Ice Lake -- if you find yourself in need of more than DP 1.2 bandwidth it is quite a good choise.

Are we sure is not a 26L instead of 16L?

I think you’re probably right. This article has the volume as 26L

AMD inside: Lenovo’s latest Legion gaming laptops, desktops deploy Ryzen CPUs

Need more proof that Ryzen CPUs are on a roll? Lenovo just announced five new laptops and desktops with AMD inside.

Tom’s Hardware has it at 16L, but I can’t see the actual dimensions in any of the announcements.

I’ve just look inside. And having the PSU below the motherboard, can be only above 20L. Like the MetallicGear Neo Mini V2

That's a pity. I'm working on upgrading a Lenovo V520 Tower for a colleague, and that's a 15L chassis, so I was hoping this was similar, but with more power.

Wow what the fuck, how can it have a 3950X and a 2070 super for for 829.... those two parts alone would cost me

 

[smallPablo]

*would cost me €1337 in Belgium, without any other parts like mobo, ram or psu. But they are selling the desktop for $830. lmao

 

[AlexTSG]

@smallPablo That's a Starting price. You'll probably be getting an APU with 8GB of RAM and a mechanical Hard drive or really small SSD at that price.

If not I'll be buying them up and striping them down to sell the parts!
