    Packs a Punch

    Very small footprint but it packs a punch. Ethernet connectivity is 2.5GBPS speed rated. With T-fiber 2Gig service, the Intel Core 7 240H Processor has download/upload speeds at about 1.8GBPS with VPN. HDMI 2.1 monitor connectivity renders crisp displays and video although I cannot attest to gamer quality. A DisplayPort is the other monitor connectivity option. There are 6 USB ports: 4 USB-A of which 3 are 10GBPS; and 2 USB-C ports of which one is TB4/USB4 and the other is 10GBPS. Multiple monitors can be connected. The 16GB DDR5 Ram can be upgraded to 32GB. The 512GB SSD storage is very ample for my needs as I utilize about 25% of it thus far after 2 weeks of use. Operation is completely quiet with no discernable fan noise. The external speaker jack is front loaded but doesn't look too unsightly when connected. The power cord is short so be prepared to purchase an extension cord as I did to connect to an UPS located on my home office floor. Backing up the hard drive to an external drive is a breeze via either USB-A or USB-C front loaded ports. It comes with a McAffee antivirus trial but I removed it.

    I needed a desktop for my 80 year old mom. Windows strategically killed her other computer requiring a new W 11 unit. I have always been a Lenovo fan. Minimal bloat and lots of performance. Had it not been for the inability to upgrade the old Lenovo she would still be using it. The new unit is really quick, too quick for her. Easy setup , super small footprint. Only real complaint is plugging in her existing speakers through the head phone jack. A USB sound card will fix that asap. Overall an amazing unit.

    Very happy with this purchase so far. It's a big step up from my i5 core 8GB RAM full size Lenovo Tower. One very minor disadvantage is the audio output port is on the front panel. It makes for a less tidy look but oh well. I would have opted for Win11 Pro too but it wasn't offered that way at my time of purchase. Really great PC though, crazy small!

    I purchased this minidesktop computer about a month ago, and actually this was not what I had picked out in the store, which was a PC tower. I discovered this when I came to the store to pick up my computer tower and the new one after the data transfer. I was not happy that I did not get what I had wanted but rather than waiting for another data transfer, I opted to keep it. (It was discovered that this was due to a product scanning error by the system in the store,) After having used it now for 30 days I am very happy with it as it takes up little room and so far it is performing flawlessly. It also has more memory than the tower I thought I had ordered and several places to plug in all of the items necessary for my monitor and existing older speakers. Once again Romans 8:28 proves true.

    Great product: small footprint; high speed. However, I did not give this a 5-star rating because the number of ports on the product is limited. If there were but one more, that would suffice.

    This mini desktop computer definately was worth them purchase. Boots up fast, quick, have not found anything it can't handle this far, from graphics to crunching number. More than enough ports. Initial setup was fast as were updates. Would have been nice to have Win11 Pro

    This Lenovo mini desktop replaced a desktop that could not support Windows 11. Such a small footprint compared to a huge, 10 year old desktop! Easy set up and great having the ports easy to access in front. Plug and Play was simple to use, especially when connecting my small dock for extra ports. I went with a smaller processor and memory because it will only be used occasionally for CAD projects and viewing existing CAD drawings.

    I am so impressed by my new Lenovo computer. It is about the size of a hardcover book, so it fits on my desk beside my new monitor very easily. As a Windows 11, it is fast and efficient.

    Excellent product. We had a Lenovo mini desktop for about 8 years. It was running fine, but we needed to upgrade to Windows 11. A couple more USB-A ports would be nice. We had to buy I hub to get more ports. We got this on sale from $850 to $600, so we saved $250. Keep an eye out for sale.
