    Great item so far!!! I have installed 4 of these machines at a business office, and to date have had no issues. The installations when very smooth. I upgraded them all to Window 11 Pro, not needed unless remote desktop support is needed. They come with no keyboard or mouse, just a heads up if that is a need. Great space saver and it has all the office or home horsepower needed. I would highly recommend this machine.

    When I was looking for a new desktop for video editing to replace my 6-year old laptop that still works with 4K videos but cannot handle 360 videos, I found this Lenovo Mini Desktop that is cheaper and much smaller than a full desktop. It can handle all my video editing needs with easy and has more than 3x the speed for 4K video rendering compared to my laptop. I am very happy with this choice and highly recommend it.

    Overall this is not a bad PC. Its very compact and light easy to use. My main problem with it is the processing speed. its not at par with most other intel chips and its even slower than the Mac Mini version of their desktop which is only $500 so definitely not worth the price

    It's is great pc..It was a choice better large desktop or a laptop with I7. This was more cost effective as it will be sitting on desk for most of the time. Does everything and it can run multi monitors, has the memory and cpu speed to do it all. I am also a fan of Lenovo also.

    Lenovo hit it right on with this product. It's super fast for daily business work, videos with music, web browsing, games, product research, etc. Excellent sturdy quality build and yet very light and quite portable too along with a 15.6 portable monitor and wireless keyboard/mouse set; you got it made.

    I ABSOLUTELY love this mini desktop computer. The quality is amazing. It's got excellent speed and performance. The size was exactly what I needed for my computer set up and saves SO much space. I have had no issues with it whatsoever. I would HIGHLY recommend this to ANY customer that's in the market for a smaller size desktop. It's small but packs a punch on performance!

    A surprisngly nice NUC style microdesktop with decent power. The primary issue is the RAM is limited to 16GB. For me the other issue is that the NIC is a one-off and doesn't have the best Linux support out of the box.

    I needed a PC for work at home use, and this fits the bill nicely. It's solidly built, unlike most consumer PCs. In fact, I'm pretty sure this is just the business version internals (ThinkCentre Tiny) in a consumer oriented case. They did make some welcome changes from the previous Ideacentre Mini. The top is smooth plastic instead of fabric, and instead of a laptop-style power brick the PSU is inside the case. Another plus is that it is the exact same size as the Mac Mini, so carrying cases are easy to get.
