What Buyers Say
Lenovo ThinKCentre neo Gen 5 Black 2024
71 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews
Most buyers are happy with this compact Lenovo desktop, praising its speed, power, and value for the price. However, one verified buyer reported a complete crash after one month and a frustrating experience with Lenovo refusing to provide a Windows license key, which has damaged trust in the brand. A few users noted minor issues like a defective first unit or an incompatible power cord for US outlets.
