Great little machine, really happy with the size and form factor - the power brick is also the size of an average laptop charger which is a great bonus. Couple things to note.
• It uses SODIMM DDR3 RAM, so if you are planning to upgrade, you know what to look for. Max supported (according to the website) is 16GB (2x8GB) 1600Mhz.
• There is also on board wifi card slot (same as used in laptops).
• The ThinkCenter I got shipped came with Windows 10 1511... so that needed to be updated with the MS Upgrade Assistant.
• The BIOS version is VERY out of date, thank goodness Lenovo still maintains it and you can find/install the latest from h...view more Great little machine, really happy with the size and form factor - the power brick is also the size of an average laptop charger which is a great bonus.

Other than that, would definitly recommend this if you need a 24/7 silent beast.

No issues booting up (and quite fast with the SSD), and the installed Windows 10 operating system ran smoothly.
It serves pretty well for my purposes, as a simple media server.
Two things to note, before you consider purchasing:
1. There is no native HDMI port, you will either need to use VGA/DisplayPort or get yourself a converter dongle.
2. There is an Ethernet port, but no wifi. If you need a wireless internet connection you will need to get yourself an adapter. No issues booting up (and quite fast with the SSD), and the installed Windows 10 operating system ran smoothly.

I recently picked up 2 of these for a client. Mounted behind 65" TVs, they're primarily used in two branches for Zoom and Teams. But as they're used for training of their inhouse software too, there was a requirement to bump the 120Gb to 500Gb and RAM to 12Gb.

The condition was of these were as if they were old 'new stock' and not 'off lease'. Very impressed. I recently picked up 2 of these for a client.

I bought this device to use as a Kodi player running Windows 10 and as such it is ideal. Device gets warm but never hot.
Only negative is that if you are looking to upgrade the RAM it comes with 2x2GiB SODIMMs so you will need to throw these away. However, you do not need more than 4GiB to run basic Windows 10 and Kodi so this may be moot. You might also need a wireless USB stick as WiFi is not included.
I recommend running the Sycnex Windows 10 debloat powershell scripts which do a good job of lightening the load. I bought this device to use as a Kodi player running Windows 10 and as such it is ideal. Device gets warm but never hot.

We purchased this tiny desktop to enable us to watch TV on demand.
It fits nicely behind the TV out of view.
We are very happy with the way it's functioning. We purchased this tiny desktop to enable us to watch TV on demand.

Really cool little machine. Use this out in my "mancave" workshop. Great for pulling up PDF spec sheets, casual email and entertainment in the background. Bought some extra memory and a Display port to HDMI lead - to use an old 32" tele out there. Less than 10 seconds to boot into Win10. (Upgraded to 10 no problems - all drivers available) Really cool little machine. Use this out in my "mancave" workshop.

I needed this for my son to study on the internet, so he uses it for that and browsing with no problems so far. I needed this for my son to study on the internet, so he uses it for that and browsing with no problems so far.

All working perfect. Great staff at PB tech, bought 2 PC. Would buy again. All working perfect. Great staff at PB tech, bought 2 PC. Would buy again.

Great little computer, we've been using it now for a few weeks, and it great. We purchased it for our calendar for our kitchen, and something for the kids listen to music on if need be.
The unit was packaged really well and shipped in great timing. once it arrived after some quick updates to the OS we were off to the races and haven't looked back.
We got a good deal on the unit and are really happy with how it performs for what we need it to do. Great little computer, we've been using it now for a few weeks, and it great. We purchased it for our calendar for our kitchen, and something for the kids listen to music on if need be.

Great product. Quiet - easy to use. Used as media source linked to home network.

Found similar second hand items on trademe at lower prices afterwards; even at discounted price, although not "reconditioned"

Was still good price on special; would not pay full retail for it. Great product. Quiet - easy to use. Used as media source linked to home network.
