Integrated Graphics DO NOT UPDATE

I would like to alert everyone that you cannot upgrade the graphics on this PC - there are no PCIe slots, DESPITE THE CHASSIS WITH EXPANSION SLOT COVERS. Lenovo apparently uses the same case for different motherboards, and this one doesn't have PCIe slots, but you'll be fooled by looking at the case. For some, this can be an obstacle. If you're looking for an all-purpose PC, this is it. It is similar in many ways to a modern "Nettop" with limited expandability, use of "Laptop" RAM (SODIMM) (2 slots, one of which is full on my PC) and no internal PC power supply (used a rectangular Lenovo laptop power adapter to the power supply). 256GB M2.NVMe SSD with SATA optical drive for laptop DVD-R and one free/unused SATA port. The case looks like a desktop PC, but with a lot of free space, because everything is on a special motherboard. If you consider it a modern "Nettop" integrated PC, then you will be satisfied with this computer if your requirements match.

Pros
  • Complete Kit
Cons
