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

What an interesting system. As the name suggests, it is quite small. Installation was easy, it took several hours to update itself. I haven't loaded jRiver 27 to use it as a music server yet. It has 8GB of RAM installed, it can be upgraded to 16, and it needs it. It's externally powered and comes with a surprisingly good keyboard and mouse. This computer isn't going to replace a truly powerful system, but for $181 with Windows 10 Pro installed, it's a great value. It would be nice to get into…

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…

I love this little PC. I upgraded to 16GB of storage, and that's a very peppy little touch. It comes with Win 10 Pro so I completed the setup and gave it a try. It works very well with Win 10 with only 8GB of RAM, although I've updated it. I deleted Windows for Linux as media server and build server. , I just installed a larger SSD and now dual booted it. I'm buying another one for my parents to use for desktop Win 10. The company has great tech support. The refurbished device I received had a…

This is the second m93p I have received, the repair on the first was excellent. No dust, everything is like a new car. the last one wasn't so good. I opened the case and the first thing I noticed was that the SSD bracket was missing. ssd was just inside. The fan blades were dirty and the second display port connector was missing. Compared to the first m93p I got it looked like someone only did the bare minimum. If I order something like this again I will arrange for another company to do the…

I have had a hard time deciding whether to buy a used or refurbished computer after having had a bad experience with another seller. I was sure that 5 star ratings were enough to make a purchase. It arrived relatively quickly and one of the first things I noticed was that the computer was physically in great condition to be a refurbished computer. Didn't have time to open it and see if the seller cleaned the inside (fan/radiator etc) but the outside was very clean. One thing I want to point out

In 2017 I bought a new tiny desktop computer from Lenovo. Three years later, I loved it so much that when my old backup gateway finally died, I decided to replace it with another tiny Lenovo. However, I didn't want to spend a lot of money as it would just be a backup. I read the reviews and decided to try the updated tiny Lenovo. I didn't expect much. I was so wrong! The computer looks like new. There are no scratches or dents anywhere. It came with a cheap wired keyboard and mouse which gave…

Purchased in May 2020. I did benchmark tests with it yesterday. The CPU-Z CPUID benchmark is around 892, which is probably lower for i5 processors. The 256GB "SSD” is a joke. The transfer speed measured by the miniTool program is about 20Mbps, like a flash drive connected to a USB port. An SSD on the internal bus should be significantly faster. I may have been "spoiled" by a new internal bus NVMe device I bought for my HP desktop and found that the transfer speeds were an order of magnitude…

Buying a "refurbished" computer can be a little nerve wracking, so I decided to give it a thorough review. Micro Deals did a fantastic job restoring this PC. A clean install of Windows has been found, ready to install and update. I removed the cover from the PC and was impressed to find that the inside had been thoroughly cleaned as well. The unit looked almost new inside and out. I bought this mini pc for my wife who uses it in her class. Runs dual monitors, zoom, web browsing and office…
