The spec is quite impressive ngl. And it's upgradable.

Good review. No thunderbolt 5 or 4, is a showstopper for me. Going for a Mac Mini M4 Pro.

I am waiting for the much anticipated AMD Strix Halo with 40CU iGPU. That in a small box like this will be amazing.

[Simpleboneguy]

Hi there very informative video. Do you recommend other brands that dont have these short comings? Ie not a MAC. Thanks in advance.

[FaisalBasonbul]

Great video as usual. I would love to have something like this

[sdsarkar]

Thank you for your review. Could you please benchmark with Apple mini M4 pro with this Lenevo Thinkcentre Neo ultra.

[harrisedgar]

For some reason the BUY link dosen't work for me. Great review BTW.

Will this computer be good for gaming and music production? Can I connect a 4k monitor to it? Is it worth buying? Please help me because I don't know what to buy anymore, and I want something small with a lot of power

[SweBeach]

I guess it's something to buy used 3 years from now. But if spending almost $2k today - build an mITX system.

Geekom offer a tiny pc form factor with a 4060 gpu but can’t remember if it is the desktop version

HI Looking to Replace M90Q Gen4 Lenovo which i had returned with few problems looking at this unit you Dealt with a View of a Gamer buyer which is not my Priority but one of the reason returned m90Q was power supply got really hot and unit what is cooling like can you open unit and clean did not show how many fans inside can you clean inside in the event of dust also you did not mention it has only a 1 year warranty against M90Q 3 year Warranty which was on site Repairs can you inform more about unit not so much Ram etc

[AntonKarpuzikov]

why you deleted video about Betatek BT-300 ?

Interesting how Lenovo websites are 404 when searching this Neo. I lose faith in the 'compute' companies that can't maintain their web presence. Found this out after watching this video and wanting to see the full spec list in fine detail.

This machine has interesting cost cutting aspects; as you've pointed out - no rear audio ports & no Thunderbolt. It's a lagged platform design IMHO.
I wouldn't game with any kind of purpose on that rig but I would use it for home-based work & perhaps, light legacy gaming.

Needs sd card slot
How does it vompare to the m1 m2 m4 studio max and ultra.
The 2 ssds and uogradeabl ram mac this much better long term

[feelingchicago]

This could replace my 4060, 16gig tall tower that I have in my living room. I don't game heavy, but I'd like to minimize my setup. I'm aware I'm losing GPU performance, but that big black box is a sore eye.

[sativagirl]

Please do a shootout with the M4 macmini, if it would'nt be too much trouble.

[Cyco_Nix]

So went to price this thing out, here in the US.
The base model with...
i5-14500
16GB DDR5-4800
256Gb NVME
NO Wireless Lan
$1840 us.

[docderwood]

you have 96GB Ram option listed above....I thought it maxed out @ 64GB?

[davidarielanota]

Windows on that machine?
Then Windows updates the machine bios without you knowing. The next time you boot, it's broken. lols.
That would be a great machine for linux though.

[ArminSteiner]

alomst bought it, but no USB-C is a NoGo for me.
