lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny Desktop Micro Tower PC (Intel Core i5-6500T, 8 GB Ram, 256 GB SSD, USB 3.0, WiFi) Windows 10 Pro (Renewed)

My friend has been bugging me to buy an M900 for awhile - just for myself. Then, alas, Remote Learning fired up for my Second Grader, and my old i3 laptop I was letting him use was just not cutting it. So, I took the plunge and got this little machine. I have been very happy, and so is my Little Einstein.Upon arrival, I has very happy to see it much better packed than other pictures posted in other Amazon Reviews. It came safe and sound.After setup, it booted right up and went through a (what I think - it's been awhile for me) standard Windows setup. Me being the perfectionist, I forced Windows 10 to do all updates, which took maybe 30 minutes max. I set up my Microsoft Account as the Administrator, but made my little guy a local, Non-Administrator account - and all has been great. It boots fast. It's very fast and VERY solid using his WebEx and online school tools.I'm using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse for him. You can see its dongle plugged in, in front. Do note that, of course, this unit doesn't come with that. I didn't break into the keyboard and mouse that came with the M900 - figuring with how everything else is working, I'm guessing they will be fine.I love how the M900 has every possible port you might want on the back, and wired Ethernet. Also, hardware wise, I love that this is a metal chassis. This little machine feels very solid in your hands; it feels like a machine that's going to be around for awhile.When my little guy isn't in school, we let him play Minecraft some. And, Minecraft runs like a dream - definitely a lot better than the old i3 laptop.I'm super, super happy with this little machine. Who knows, maybe I'll finally follow my friend's advice and get one of these for me too!

Purchased item for use as a dedicated AgentDVR server box. Great product for the money. Worked as expected. Keyboard and mouse supplied definitely not high end, but functional. I now have 2 of these Lenovo mini-pc refurbs...and plan to buy a few more here shortly. Would highly recommend them for a small footprint pc. Note many of these mini-pc processors cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 as they are not on the current approved list. But, I can live with that until the end of 2025 when Win10 supports ends.

Very tiny. Even smaller than a mac mini with way more performance for the comparable price. Included Windows 10 which we installed/patched. Also bought a 4k monitor using the display port text looks fantastic. Everything works fast and and neat with wireless keyboard/mouse (also bought separate). Plenty of power for what we need to do (video conferences, office applications, web browsing, etc) Highly recommend for virtual learning or work from home environments where space is premium.

This tiny PC is impressive, and it’s fast, has no lag time with buffering video, works great with all MS office suites products. Comes with free online MS account to access all product lines. However, I used my school’s MS key to install the current version of MS on the drive. Would highly recommend to students, small to Medium business owner to help save cost of new technology.

fine

When all three of the purchased machines were booted, the attached (photo) warning was seen. Whether this was a virus or not, we should not have to research/troubleshoot something newly purchased This is not only inconvenient, but misleading advertising. The inclusion of Windows 10 PRO was the reason we purchased these units. We should not need to re-install the ADVERTISED OS for these machines. Were they even checked for salability before shipping? Nice units, but we will NOT purchase from this reseller again.

I bought this specifically to convert to Ubuntu Linux, so I have no comments about the Windows 10 on board.The cpu, an i5-6500T, is has a benchmark speed of 4,943 - excellent for general use. In contrast, Celerons and Core 2 Duos bench to about 890. Use cpubenchmark.net to check before buying.8Gb of ram is adequate for linux, but a little low for Windows 10. It's a single socket DDR4-2666 that can take a 16Gb part (about $45), so an upgrade is possible.The included wired usb mouse and keyboard are basic and functional.However, these units to not have onboard wifi so a usb wifi dongle is included. It's a no-name part that I had problems with it losing connection. Unplugging & replugging it fixed it, but I always intended to use cable so it wasn't a concern for me. If wifi is your goal, you may want to test carefully.The unit comes with a 9-pin serial port (very odd these days) and only dvi connectors - no HDMI. If you plan to attach this to a TV you'll definitely need a dvi-hdmi cable (avoid adapters).*A serious problem is that DVI does _not_ carry sound, unlike HDMI. Your tv will have to have "input combining" if you want the audio, otherwise you'll have to find an audio cable and plug this into a speaker/amp setup.As some others have said, the computer and shipping materials kind of reeked of cigarette smoke. A quick cleanup formula409 put that to rest.All in all, I would have been much happier if the box had HDMI output but I was able to work around the audio issues.Pros: Great cpu speed, good graphics performance (not really enough for gaming), excellent value, 100% linux compatibility.Cons: DVI instead of HDMI brings challenges, borderline RAM size, crappy wifi usb adapter.

I have purchased a lot of refurbished computers, these are probably the best I've ever received. They look brand new, and come with genuine Lenovo mouse and keyboards. Most refurbs come with the cheapest accessories possible that go directly in the trash, not these. Also, no bloatware at all, just a fresh copy of Windows 10 Enterprise that runs perfectly on the specs. Perfect for office use. Great job
