Lenovo releases new IdeaCentre desktop PC with cheaper pricing than older model

Lenovo has started selling its new IdeaCentre Tower after unveiling it a few days ago on PSREF. For the time being, we can only find the IdeaCentre Tower 14IRR11 for sale in Hong Kong. Lenovo has not confirmed pricing or availability for its new desktop PC yet, either. However, it has earmarked the device as 'coming soon' in other markets, including across Europe.
The IdeaCentre Tower 14IRR11 starts at HKD 7,481 (~$953) in Hong Kong. In other words, Lenovo's Gen 11 model is over 30% cheaper than its predecessor, which starts at HKD 10,899 (~$1,389) (curr. $360.99 - used on Amazon). For reference, Lenovo's starting SKU includes a Core i5-14400 processor, 8 GB of DDR5-4800 RAM, a 256 GB SSD and a 200 W PSU with a 90% rated efficiency.
Moreover, this price also includes a Windows 11 Home licence, which one can remove for a HKD 800 (~$100) saving. Also, one can configure optional 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, two extra USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and a 400 W PSU featuring a 92% rated efficiency.
On top of that, one can add up to 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 2 TB HDD. Also, the Core i5-14400 can be swapped for Intel's more powerful Core i7-14700 processor, which adds 2 P-cores and 8 E-cores. Please see Lenovo's website for more details.
