Lenovo IdeaCentre 27" 2025, Ryzen 7 8845HS, 64GB, 2TB SSD, Gray

64GB of DDR5 RAM puts this Lenovo in the 97th percentile for memory, which is wild for an all-in-one. But the 1080p display on a 27-inch screen and the 39th percentile port selection hold it back. At $2,069 USD, it's a hard recommendation unless you specifically need a touchscreen AIO with massive RAM.

The Ryzen 7 8845HS is an 8-core, 16-thread chip with a 24MB L3 cache and boost up to 5.1GHz. That puts it at the 66th percentile for CPUs in this category. Not bad, not mind-blowing. It'll chew through spreadsheets, video calls, and light creative work without breaking a sweat. The 64GB of DDR5 is the real flex here. That's 97th percentile territory, meaning almost nothing else in this product class ships with that much memory. You could run a dozen Chrome tabs, a VM, and a local dev server and still have headroom.

The GPU is listed as AMD Radeon Graphics, discrete. That's vague, and the 65th percentile ranking tells you it's not a gaming card. Don't expect to push 100Hz in anything demanding. The 2TB SSD lands at the 83rd percentile, which is genuinely good. Fast boots, fast loads, plenty of room for files. The weak link is the port selection at the 39th percentile. One USB-C that's data only, no DisplayPort over USB-C, and a mix of USB 3.2 Gen 2 and USB 2.0 ports. For a business machine in 2025, that's underwhelming.

Stacked against the Apple Mac Studio M3 Ultra, this Lenovo gets destroyed on GPU performance and display quality. The Mac Studio isn't an AIO, but at a similar price point it offers dramatically more compute. The Dell Aurora ACT1250 and HP OMEN GT16-0364 are gaming desktops that will run circles around the IdeaCentre in graphics workloads, though they lack the touchscreen and integrated form factor. The MSI Aegis ZS2 and CLX SET are also gaming-focused and offer better GPU options. Where the Lenovo wins is RAM capacity out of the box and the touchscreen. If you need 64GB without opening a case, this is the easiest path. But you're sacrificing a lot of performance per dollar to get it.

At $2,069 USD, this is a tough sell. You're paying for the 64GB of RAM and 2TB SSD, but you're also stuck with a 1080p display and a mediocre port setup. For that money, you could build a small form factor PC with a better GPU and a proper 1440p or 4K monitor. The all-in-one form factor carries a premium, but the compact score of 34.1 suggests you're not even getting the space savings you'd expect. If you absolutely need an AIO with this much RAM, it's one of the only options. But most people would be better served by a laptop with a dock or a mini PC plus monitor.

The Lenovo IdeaCentre 27" is a weird one. On paper, it's a business all-in-one with a Ryzen 7 8845HS, 64GB of DDR5, and a 2TB SSD. That RAM count puts it in the 97th percentile for this category, which is frankly absurd for an AIO. But then you look at the display and it's a 1080p panel in 2025. On a 27-inch screen. That's a choice.

Our scoring puts it at 70.4 for home office and 70.3 for workstation use. Developer use lands at 69.4. Those are solid but not spectacular numbers. The compact score is 34.1, which makes sense when you realize this thing weighs 10.89kg. It's an all-in-one that doesn't really save you much desk space or weight compared to a small desktop plus monitor.

Skip this if you care about display quality. The 1080p panel on a 27-inch screen is the biggest weakness here, and at $2,069 USD you deserve better. Also skip if you need strong graphics performance. The GPU sits at the 65th percentile, which means it's fine for basic tasks but will disappoint in anything GPU-heavy. And if you're hoping for a compact, tidy setup, the 10.89kg weight and 34.1 compact score suggest this won't save you much space compared to a small desktop tower. Port selection is another reason to look elsewhere. The 39th percentile ranking means fewer and slower ports than most competitors.

The Lenovo IdeaCentre 27" is a niche product. It's for someone who needs a touchscreen all-in-one with massive RAM and doesn't care about display sharpness or GPU power. That's a small group. The 64GB of DDR5 is genuinely impressive, and the 2TB SSD is a nice touch. But the 1080p panel on a 27-inch screen is a dealbreaker for most people at this price. If you're doing office work, you'll notice the soft text. If you're doing creative work, you'll want a better display. If you're gaming, the GPU won't keep up. It's a machine that does one thing extremely well, memory capacity, and a lot of other things just okay.
