Overview
An Intel eight core processor with shared integrated graphics powers this Lenovo ThinkCentre mini, cooled by ventilation in a chassis small enough to mount behind a monitor. Windows Pro adds BitLocker, Remote Desktop and domain join for office networks.
Two monitor output, fast wireless and business grade Windows in a box this small make it an easy desk or counter computer. The memory ceiling leaves room to grow beyond the base amount. Integrated graphics rule out gaming or serious video editing.
Who it's for
Accountants, developers and reception desks short on space get a quiet computer that drives two screens. Anyone rendering video or playing modern games needs a machine with discrete graphics.
Pros and cons
- Drives two monitors
- Mounts behind a monitor
- Windows Pro with BitLocker and Hyper-V
- Fast WiFi plus wired Ethernet
- Listing names two different processors
- USB port count differs within listing
- Base memory modest for heavy multitasking
- Integrated graphics only
Performance notes
Responsiveness depends mostly on the eight core processor and the NVMe drive, which loads apps quickly. With only the base memory installed, many browser tabs and large spreadsheets compete for RAM, so adding memory is the main upgrade path. Graphics share system memory, which suits office displays but not demanding games.
