Review on 💻 Lenovo ThinkCentre M93P Tiny Desktop - Intel i5-4570T, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD - Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (Renewed) by Elmito Yeager

I needed a new computer for my workshop. I'm interested in woodworking and metalworking, so wood dust and dust from metal grinding, welding and the occasional shavings from a mill or lathe don't contribute to the long life of anything with a circuit board. I have a large version of this computer as a desktop computer and love it. Quiet, powerful, fast and reliable. I decided that I would put one of them in one of the cabinets above my workbench. When the VESA mount arrives, I screw it to the inside of the case and run the cables through the hole I'm going to drill in the bottom. The keyboard and rodent will be wireless, so the cables are just power and video. The computer was shrink-wrapped on a special corrugated board platform with standoffs to isolate the computer from the box. The packaging was more than enough to protect it. A thorough visual inspection of the computer revealed no physical wear and tear whatsoever. Even the rubber feet were intact, suggesting they had either been replaced or the car had never been moved in a previous life. Or maybe the computer was bolted to the back of a cart in a hospital or doctor's office. Impossible to say. There was no sign on it anywhere. Included was a very cheap keyboard and a rodent. The keyboard was DOA and the mouse was so bad I only used it to set up the computer and then threw it in the trash along with the keyboard. Both were thin and very cheap. The keyboard and mouse are not the kind I want to use for very long. But for the purpose of setting up the computer, they worked fine. Except for the keyboard which didn't work. Windows started up, and after bypassing Microsoft's multiple attempts to get my personal information, the computer spent a few minutes downloading and installing the latest Win 10 updates. I connected my Logitec MK270 wireless keyboard and mouse and started downloading the software. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I didn't need a mouse or keyboard; I have a closet full of them. So no damage. My advice to anyone who has doubts about buying an upgraded computer is don't worry. I've owned several of these over the years. Most of these computers are for rent. After the lease expires, the leasing company has to find a new apartment for them. The best ones are finally cleaned up, tested, new hard drives or SSDs installed and then sent to their new home with a new operating system. The poorer ones are sold and refurbished at a greater discount. Those that do not fall under the reduction are recycled. I was planning to use VMWARE and dual boot this machine. But I noticed in the BIOS that virtualization is not supported. I have two other Lenovos, an M93 desktop and a T530 laptop, and both support virtualization. Very strange.
