12 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews
This Lenovo ThinkCentre mini PC has been heavily criticized by verified purchasers for extreme slowness, even with basic tasks like email and word processing. Multiple users report that the device is virtually unusable for video playback, and one discovered the unit was gutted and virtualized instead of containing the advertised SSD and RAM. The single positive review offers no detail, while the overwhelming majority describe a deeply flawed product that feels like a scam.
