Lenovo ThinkCentre M700 Tiny Business Desktop PC, Intel Quad Core i5-6500T up to 3.1GHz, 16G DDR4, 512G SSD, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, Windows 10 64-Multi-Language Support English/Spanish/French (Renewed)

I've had this little computer for two days now. It arrived in good shape with only light signs of previous use. It was clean inside. All the promised components were in the box, including the power supply. The little WIFI dongle works fine (2.5 Ghz only). The keyboard and mouse are cheap, and it took a little while to figure out how they work (hint: look for a USB dongle inside the mouse).The best part, though, is the computer itself. I love the sturdy metal case. All the ports work. It is well built compared with some of the little low-cost "NUC" computers on the market now. After all, it was originally sold into the business market. On my unit, there was an HDMI port as well as two display ports. If I ever need to replace memory or the 500mb M.2 drive, they are easily accessible in the bottom of the unit. There seem to have been many variations of this unit — particularly the types of ports included and types of internal disks (M.2 vs. 2.5-inch SSD).Windows 10, a perfectly legal copy, configured just fine. I partitioned the disk and installed Ubuntu 20.10 on half of the disk. Dual boot works fine. I mostly run Ubuntu, but it's nice to have Windows 10. WIFI and the keyboard+mouse work fine under both Windows and Ubuntu. For anything other than gaming, the computer is plenty fast.I expect to get several years use out of this computer and eventually replace it with a later-generation refubished computer.

I am very happy with this Lenovo. I bought it for video editing and I am very happy.

Nice PC, but some quality issues from the refurbisher!There was a bunch of broken or loose components. If you get one of these, be sure to take off the cover and make sure the stuff inside is installed and secured properly BEFORE you even think about attaching the power cord!I found:- The WIFI antenna that attaches to the back was broken off and loose in the box. The end was stillscrewed onto the connector on the rear panel but the antenna par had broken off. I don't intendto use WIFI or Bluetooth but if I did I'd have to return it or buy a new antenna.- Inside, the metal try that the 2.5 inch drive (SSD in this case) mounts in was completelyunattached and the entire metal tray and drive were just rattling around inside the case. Wouldprobable have caused some bad shorts if I had plugged it in or turned it on without checking. Andthe screw that secures the tray is missing completely. Had to be missing when they refurbished itsince it was not loose inside the case - just missing. And a minor issue, but one of the 4 little rubberpieces that screw to the drive and hold it in the metal tray was also missing.- Under where the drive tray mounts, one of the two RAM DIMMS was halfway out of its socket and the retaining clip was bent out of shape. Probably would not have fared well if power was turnedon without fixing it!Both these things were easy to fix since I discovered them before hooking up power to the box. A new screw to secure the disk drive metal tray to the post it rests on and bending the RAM clip back into place and properly installing the RAM. BUT THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE!Pros:- A nice little PC for the money.- The 16GB of RAM and 512GB SATA SSD are fine for a small system, Windows or Linux.- There is also an M.2 slot under the disk drive tray. Mounts to handle either 2260 or 2280 size cards.The M700 spec sheet shows it only comes with SATA M.2 cards so its not clear if this would handlean NVMe type M.2 card or only operates in SATA mode. But you can at lease add a second SATA styleSSD if you want.- The WIFI is also a separate small M.2 module. The one in mine is an Intel, Dual band (2.4 and 5.0 GHz)module and also has Bluetooth. The installed Windows seemed to detect it just fine, though I don'tplan to use WIFI for my uses.- The installed Windows is actually Windows 10 Pro, which is nice if you want windows. I plan to installDebian Linux instead.- There are plenty of USB 3.0 ports (six) and two display port connectors for video. Haven't tried it atany Hi-resolution, just an old 24 inch LCD monitor.- Besides WIFI, has a Gigabit Ethernet connector as well.- Comes with a usable keyboard and mouse (both wired USB).Cons:- The broken stuff mentioned above.- The pictures show it coming with a base to mount it vertically but there was none in the box I received.too bad, because the vertical mount would have been nice, but I can always 3D print something.- The internal speaker is a Joke. it's a tiny piezo device you can barely hear. Don't even think aboutusing it even if just for basic windows sounds.- It does not come with any back-up media to reinstall windows if you need to. I guess in theory onceits activated the Microsoft site should recognize it if you re-install from downloaded media fromMicrosoft, but I always feel safer with a set of media from the vendor.The Weird:- Even though the built in Wireless adapter supports Bluetooth, it came with a little Bluetooth USBdongle in the box. No idea what you'd need it for. Just for fun I plugged it into one of the USB 3.0ports and when I looked in device manager Windows said it didn't recognize it. Like I said, weird.Summary: I'll probable buy another one for another project I have. The broken stuff was easily fixable aslong as you catch it before you try to run it and the antenna which wasn't fixable is not an issue forme since I plan to use it on a wired network.Seems lake a nice little tiny PC for the price. Should work great for my purpose of running a couple copies of Klipper to control two 3D printers. Would probably provide a nice platform for someone who just wants a Windows PC to browse the internet and edit some files or something (it has word and excel and such, but they seem to only be some form of demo versions OEMs install - I didn't check them out since I don't intend to use it as a windows machine). Might be a good little machine for kids to use for homework and stuff. Haven't tried installing Debian Linux yet. I'll try to update this after I see how it goes.Just a quick update: I installed Debian Linux 12 (Bookworm) and it installed fine and seems to work great on this PC. Even recognized the WiFi interface and it came, though I can't comment on its operation since I am not using it.

Got everything physically connected and plugged the provided dongle into the PC before I turned everything on. Went through the usual steps and then windows set up quickly. Realized there was no Internet. I skipped that part of the process. I just wanted to get to the desktop so that I could access the Drive where the USB is because apparently that is the driver for the Wi-Fi card I suppose. But file explorer will not even show an additional USB drive connected to the machine with any sort of driver software on it. Nothing pulls up. All of the USB ports function. Just something is wrong with this little USB deal that is supposed to have the wireless driver on it. I contacted Amazon and as usual, they are no help, but I didn’t expect them to be offering technical advice on something like this so I wasn’t really upset at that. But I did notice that the seller was kind enough to include a little brochure with their contact information which helps if you’re unemployed, but I am gainfully employed. I have a job that requires me to work And unfortunately, I cannot be at home with this machine during the workday. I have to be at my job. Customer service with the seller shuts down at 4 PM my time so I will just give them a call tomorrow I guess and be late to work because of it , good thing I didn’t need this thing to function in a pinch. Also, the gold plated coaxial connection on the back is severely bent, but there is no damage to the chassis of the unit itself, nor the shipping box, which indicates that it was shipped bent. Nice oversight.
