The “C” in C730 stands for “Cube.” That’s all you really need to know about Lenovo’s C730 Cube mini-PC. It’s tiny, it’s boxy, and sort of adorable. It’s also surprisingly powerful, at least coming from Lenovo—a company I don’t typically expect to put out great gaming PCs.
Lenovo’s made a push these past few years though, first in laptops and now desktops. The goal: Mainstream gaming hardware at a mainstream (read: affordable) price point. The C730 isn’t necessarily the “most” anything—not the most powerful, nor the most compact, nor the most elegant. But it’s enough of each to make it worth a second look, especially for space- and budget-conscious shoppers.
Lenovo Legion C730 Cube design: Outside the box
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
The Lenovo C730 Cube’s distinctive front panel sports an array of circular ventilation holes on the grille.
The C730 Cube isn’t as tiny as some of its console-esque brethren, like the MSI Trident 3 or the Asus ROG GR8. Measuring 9 inches tall, 9 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, however, it’s still a far cry from a tower. It’s pretty damned portable as well, coming in under 20 pounds.
Did I mention there’s a handle? It’s the second feature you notice, after the diminutive size. Many other gaming PCs sport a handle, of course, but the C730 Cube is one of the few small enough for a handle to make sense.
At E3 I joked that the C730 was “like the GameCube,” primarily because of the handle. The more I’ve thought about it, the more I like the comparison to Nintendo’s old console. It’s fitting. As is so often the case with Nintendo, the GameCube deviated from established console norms of the time to create a console with mainstream appeal. I get the same vibe from Lenovo here. Design is subjective, of course, but it has more flair than your standard enterprise-focused desktop, without leaning hard into the gaming aesthetic either. The front panel’s circular grille pattern is unique and far more friendly than the hard edges we’d typically see in gaming pre-builts.
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
You can enjoy the RGB lighting through the top panel of the Lenovo Legion C730 Cube.
So yeah, in broad swathes I love the look of the C730. I’m even a fan of the logo, which is good because it takes up a large percentage of the front panel. Lenovo wisely keeps its own branding understated, allowing the “Legion” sub-brand to dominate the design. It’s a pretty generic name, but I like the typeface used here, as well as the backlit starburst design on the O, which gives it almost a 60’s retro-futurist, space-station look.
The all-but-mandatory RGB lighting touches are also well done. You get the barest hint of light through the circular openings on the front panel, plus a few highlights on the back. The sides are opaque, and the primary lighting zone is actually the top—a translucent panel that shows off the C730’s interior lighting as well as the GPU.
It’s a bit flashy for living room use perhaps, an accusation I’ve also leveled at the MSI Trident in the past. But by angling the lighting upward instead of outward, it at least prevents the C730 from blinding you in a dark room—plus, the case is short enough you can actually take a peek inside.
I do have a few sticking points. The front I/O is crammed in at the bottom of the case, which is a terrible decision. Either you confine the C730 Cube to desktop use, or you’re never going to use those front ports. There’s no way you’re going to run wires all the way to these ports if the PC is on the floor, especially headphones and microphone cables. Even more bizarre: The two USB-A ports are upside-down, and given only a half-inch or so of clearance. I couldn’t even manage to fit a handful of USB sticks I had lying around, which is awfully inconvenient for front panel connections.
There’s also a rubber cable wrangler on the rear. This one’s less actively annoying, more just pointless. It sits right at the bottom of the rear I/O, which implies you’re supposed to run cables out the back and…down? Even if you perch the C730 Cube on a desk, it doesn’t make much sense to run the cables underneath the rubber strap and then back up to your peripherals, and if you intend to sit the C730 on a floor it’s an even more useless feature.
I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention the dismal number of ports on the C730. It’s a full-size graphics card, which at least means a full complement of DVI-D, HDMI, and three DisplayPort jacks. Aside from that however, the rear panel features only a dual headphones/microphone 3.5mm port (as opposed to the split 3.5mm ports on the front), ethernet, four USB 3.1, and two USB 2.0 ports.
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
The Lenovo C730 Cube’s rear panel has fewer ports than we’d like to see on a gaming PC.
In this day and age, and especially as a gamer, eight USB ports is surprisingly not that many—especially if you happen to own an Oculus Rift, which will cannibalize 3 or 4 of those ports on its own. I have 14 on my daily PC and have had to juggle USB slots before, between my headset, mouse, keyboard, speakers, audio interface, VR headset, and et cetera.
Maybe it’s not a problem for you. Or maybe you can minimize the problem with a USB hub—although keep in mind USB slots are all fed through a handful of USB buses, so adding more ports might still cause conflicts if you have a lot of information-heavy devices (i.e. VR headsets, which take up a lot of USB bandwidth).
Inside the box: Legion C730 Cube specs and features
The C730 Cube is actually the pricier of Lenovo’s two cube-shaped models. There’s a C530 below it, which in many respects is the same box—except it ships sans RGB lighting, and with lower specs.
So for the sake of covering the whole spectrum, let’s start with the C530, whose list price of $880 includes:
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti with 4GB of VRAM
Memory: 8GB of DDR4 RAM
Storage: 1TB hard drive
Networking: 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapter and Bluetooth 4.2
Lenovo’s top-tier C730 Cube lists for $1,520 and includes:
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700
GPU: Nividie GeForce GTX 1060 with 6GB of VRAM
Memory: 16GB of DDR4 RAM
Storage: Dual 1TB HDD/128GB SSD
Networking: 802.11ac Wi-Fi adapter and Bluetooth 4.2
That’s a solid mid-tier gaming desktop, with performance to match. At list price, I’d say it’s a bit more expensive than I’d like. Before the MSI Trident 3 disappeared from Amazon it sold for around $1,200—and included a GTX 1070, not a GTX 1060, as Lenovo’s done here.
But as is so often the case, list price is merely a suggestion. Lenovo itself sells the system we received for about $1,200 (at time of writing). That’s a decent deal, especially in the post-GPU inflation era. You could potentially build your own for cheaper, but you’d probably end up with a larger and less elegant form factor, no RGB lighting, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and still only save $100 or so. The same goes for other pre-built PCs.
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
The right panel of the Lenovo C730 Cube releases easily using a rear latch.
The C730 is also properly upgradable, which isn’t always a guarantee with these bespoke mini-PCs. The interior is easily accessed by pulling a lever on the rear panel, which lets you slide off the right side. That gives you access to the GPU, CPU, and RAM, as well as most of the motherboard cabling. Thumbscrews secure the left panel, which houses the power supply and the hard drive rack.
How it all comes together
A PC can look good on paper, but what really matters in the end is how it’s all put together. In the case of the Lenovo Legion C730 Cube, there’s some good and some bad.
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
The transparent top panel of the Lenovo Legion C730 Cube shows off RGB lighting and the GPU shroud.
First, the good. The C730 uses a full-length (meaning 9.6-inch) GPU, which means you should be set to upgrade to any card in the foreseeable future. Other mini-PCs, like the MSI Trident, use the shorter 6-inch GPUs, which are a bit more limited when it comes to upgrading.
It also uses what looks like a standard power supply. That’s fantastic. A lot of these mini-PCs use a custom power solution (like the MSI Trident’s external brick). But if you want more power in your C730? I didn’t dismantle our entire system, but it looks like you could pull out the old 450W supply and replace it with a more powerful one.
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
The Lenovo C730 Cube’s left panel opens to reveal the power supply (left) and drive bays (right).
Some caveats: Swapping out the PSU would probably be a huge hassle, and there’s no place on the C730’s case for the standard bottom-facing PSU fan to vent. A more powerful PSU usually means more heat, and you might have trouble moving enough air to keep it cool.
That said, you’ve got a bit of headroom even if you don’t upgrade the power supply. A 450W PSU is enough to run a Core i7-8700 (or stock 8700K) and a GTX 1070 Ti with some room to spare. In fact, we saw a C730 running a GTX 1070 Ti at E3, though we were told it wasn’t a “certified” setup. Obviously Lenovo didn’t end up selling it. Not sure why, because per the raw numbers it seems perfectly capable. You couldn’t slap a 1080 Ti in the C730 without choking it. But you could probably make a lateral move in a few years to the GTX 1470 or 4070, or whatever 2022’s equivalent might be named.
Okay, now the bad.
First and foremost, cable management is atrocious. Open up the C730, and it looks a lot uglier than it does on the outside. There are dozens of thin, finicky cables running between all the different parts, with a particularly bad eyesore cluster near the front. And look, I get it: There isn’t much room to hide the cables in this tiny box. Still, it could look tidier.
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
Yes, the Lenovo C730 Cube is cramped for space inside, but the mess of cables still surprised and disappointed us.
It also looks like a real pain to upgrade the RAM. There’s no heat-spreader on the single 16GB stick in our system, and I don’t even think the C730 could handle a heat-spreader. The RAM is all-but-touching the CPU cooler on one side. 16GB should be enough for the lifespan of the C730, but it’s still worth noting.
There’s not much cooling, as I half-mentioned above. There’s what looks like a single 80mm fan exhaust against the rear panel, with no intake fans of any kind (unless you count the GPU and CPU fans). I said earlier that you could get a Core i7-8700 or 8700K for the same price, the K indicating a processor that can be overclocked. On the one hand you might as well get the K so you have the option to overclock, but on the other? I can’t imagine you could do much, because I suspect even a slight overclock would cause the system to overheat. There are no obvious places to add fans, either, at least without dismantling the whole system.
Adam Patrick Murray/IDG
The drive bay carriage in the Lenovo C730 Cube is awkward to deal with: vertically oriented, and complicated to maneuver.
Finally, the hard drive rack is awkward to deal with. It’s arrayed vertically, and you pull a lever and sort-of…fold the whole enclosure out of the case. You replace it with a loud clang that startled me the first time. There are hookups for a few additional drives, though it’s probably easiest to swap out the 1TB drive for a much larger drive upon arrival, if you have the foresight.
I would’ve liked to see the drive space upgraded across the board, actually. A 128GB SSD is paltry in this day and age, especially with prices as low as they’ve been recently.
Bottom line
Gripes aside, I’m still impressed overall. Listen, the Legion C730 Cube isn’t for “Serious PC Gamers” or whatever, that group (and I include myself in this) that’s always chasing smoother frame rates, quieter fans, better textures. But the Steam Hardware Survey indicates the GTX 1060 is the single most popular card among gamers these days, and that more than 50 percent of Steam users run a 1060, a 1060-equivalent, or lower.
That makes the C730 a solid option for the mainstream gamer on a budget. It’s got an eye-catching design, a relatively easy path to upgrade, it’s quiet(ish) and inconspicuous(ish), powerful enough to play modern games at High settings (on a 1080p monitor at least), and it does it all for cheap.
That was enough for Lenovo to make a dent in the gaming laptop market. Maybe it’s enough to make a dent in the gaming desktop market as well.

The Super Bowl is as good an excuse as any to buy a new television or streaming device—and right now, multiple deals match or beat those found during Black Friday 2018. Of course, like during the winter holidays, not every sale is one worthy of your money.
We’ve waded into the deluge and pulled out the best discounts you’ll find before the big game. There’s something for everyone, whether you need a larger, better-looking TV or just an extra one to put in another room.
As a reminder, Super Bowl LIII is scheduled for Sunday, February 3, at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time. We’ll keep an eye out for any enticing new TV deals that pop up between now and then.
Samsung QLED TVs on sale
Best Buy
Samsung’s entry-level Quantum Dot (Q6FN) 4K HDR television is back down to its Black Friday price, at least for the 55-inch model. With QLED, you get much better contrast and more vibrant colors compared to your average TV, especially when watching HDR content. Get it from either Amazon or Best Buy for $1000. You can also get a refurbished model at MicroCenter stores for just $700 if you’re lucky enough to live near one. (PC Richard is selling the TV for $1000 with a $100 gift card, but it won’t arrive before the Super Bowl.)
If you’re willing to spend a lot more, Samsung’s top-of-the-line Q9FN is also down to its lowest price in the 65-inch screen size, at $2800 from either Amazon or Best Buy. Upgrading to this model nets you full array direct backlighting for deeper blacks, better HDR performance, and a handy box for cable management.
Sony 75-inch 4K HDR TV for $1800
Amazon
In another Black Friday deal redux, Sony’s 75-inch XBR75X850F 4K HDR TV is back down to $1,798 on Amazon. This is a TN panel, which means it should provide excellent contrast and black levels, though it won’t have the extreme viewing angles of an IPS display (which Sony uses in its smaller sets). Unfortunately, Sony has not brought back the same deals on its 65-inch and 85-inch TVs for the Super Bowl.
Vizio 65-inch P-Series 4K HDR TV for $900
Best Buy
Best Buy has a great deal going on Vizio’s top-of-the-line P-Series TV, which has a slick design and 4K HDR with Dolby Vision. It’s selling for $900 in the 65-inch screen size, down from the regular price of $1200. As TechHive reviewer Jon Jacobi noted, the P-Series offers excellent brightness and HDR performance for the money, albeit with some occasional backlighting artifacts. It also has Google Chromecast built-in, and will support Apple’s AirPlay 2 and HomeKit later this year. If you prefer a smaller screen, Best Buy and Walmart are also selling the 55-inch model for $650.
LG OLED TV deals
Best Buy
If nothing but OLED will do for the Super Bowl, LG’s 55-inch B8 Series is on sale at Best Buy for $1500, matching its lowest price to date. It’s pricey, but you can’t beat OLED’s contrast and black levels as it can dim each pixel individually. The 65-inch version is also on sale for $2300, which almost matches an all-time low of $2200 that was available briefly just before Thanksgiving.
TCL Roku TV deals
Amazon
TCL makes solid TVs for reasonable prices—often with Roku’s excellent software built-in—and it has several sets on sale ahead of the Super Bowl. Most noteworthy is the 65S517, a 65-inch 4K HDR Roku TV with Dolby Vision, down to its lowest price yet from Amazon for $623 when you clip the digital coupon on the product page. (According to the deal tracking site CamelCamelCamel, the price has intermittently dropped to $611 over the past few days, though we haven’t seen this ourselves.)
(Best Buy is selling a similar set for $430, but without voice control on the remote. Voice control is nice to have; go with Amazon’s model instead.)
HiSense 55-inch Roku TV for $248
Best Buy
Don’t care about fancy picture quality features like HDR and local dimming, and just want a larger screen for cheap? Head to this page on inventory tracking site BrickSeek, plug in your zip code, and hit “Check Inventory.” Then, scroll down to see whether any nearby Walmart stores are selling HiSense’s 55-inch 4K Roku TV for its Black Friday price of $248.
Roku Wireless Speakers for $150
Roku
For folks who already own a Roku smart TV—or plan to buy one—Roku’s proprietary Wireless Speakers are an easy way to upgrade the sound quality, with simple setup and handy features such as dialog boosting and volume leveling. Roku’s website has them on sale for $150, which is $50 off the regular price.
The Sonos Beam soundbar does a fine job filling small-to-medium sized rooms with rich sound quality, and it’s packed with features such as Apple AirPlay 2 support and Amazon Alexa voice controls (with Google Assistant support coming later this year). Normally $400, it’s on sale for $350 through Best Buy, Amazon, and other major retailers.
Amazon Fire TV deals
Amazon
Watching the Super Bowl with an antenna? Amazon’s Fire TV Recast networked tuner will stream the broadcast to multiple televisions around the house, while also adding DVR features so you can pause the game or rewind after big plays. The dual-tuner model with 500 GB of storage is back down to its Black Friday price of $190, as is the quad-tuner model with 1 TB of storage at $230.
One caveat: The Recast requires a Fire TV streaming device to watch on your television. You can snag the excellent Fire TV Stick 4K for $40, which is $10 off the list price and $5 more than Black Friday pricing.
