Lenovo IdeaCentre G5 17AIB7 90T1006MMH

The Lenovo IdeaCentre G5 17IAB7 is a reasonable starter for people who want to start gaming on a PC. I got to test this PC for a few days. Thanks to the modern and powerful RTX 3060ti GPU, recent games are easy to play at high settings with enough fps. Partly thanks to this graphics card, the PC is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users. Even though the PC only has a single 500 GB SSD, it ensures that the PC boots quickly and works quickly. But there is a good chance that expansion will be needed soon. While playing intensive games, the temperatures remain low thanks to the cooling. But since there are few fans with decent room to breathe in the back and front, chances are the cooling needs improvement and cleaning soon. In addition to the aforementioned lack of storage space, there are also relatively few connections to be found at the back of the PC. This ensures that few USB devices can be installed without additional purchases. All this makes for a relatively inexpensive gaming PC that packs powerful components to run the latest games. Only other essential components have clearly been budgeted for, which reduces the potential of this PC.

This PC has very limited storage space (512 GB) and does not have the listed possibilities to expand this. According to the specifications on this website, this PC would have the expansion option for 2 x 3.5" slots + 2 x M.2 slots, this was the reason for me to buy this PC so that I could transfer my HDDs and SSDs from my old PC and so you have enough storage space. Unfortunately, this is not the case. There are no expandable M.2 slots on the motherboard and there is only 1 x 3.5" bay available for expansion for an extra HDD/SSD. In addition, also dissatisfied with Coolblue's customer service, contacted several times and despite the fact that they acknowledge that the specifications are incorrect based on the photos, they refuse to adjust it on the site 'because these are the specifications of the supplier'. They also refuse to come up with a solution for the fact that I have a PC that does not meet the specifications, except "buy a bigger hard drive" and "if you don't like it, send it back". I cannot recommend this PC and do not recommend ordering from Coolblue if service is important to you.

We were looking for a mid-range PC with very good video features. We found everything we need in this PC. The PC looks good and works quickly and quietly. It can be placed horizontally and vertically. The blue light can also be turned off. Also a nice PC for family use where games can also be played.
