Lenovo ThinkCenter mini host 2499 yuan to hand! Is this configuration worth buying at this price?
In the past six months, it can be said that the mini host has exploded, after all, the CPU performance has gone up, the power consumption has come down, and it is not only the notebook that has benefited. And who is better between laptops and mini hosts has also become a topic of debate for many people on the Internet. In fact, the answer is simple, in terms of performance release and saving desktop space, the mini host is enough to press the laptop to the ground and rub it.
Take this Lenovo ThinkCenter mini host as an example,The same external monitor and keyboard and mouse,It's just a small one next to the monitor,If it's replaced with a notebook here,Even if it's a 13-inch model known for portability,Can this desktop space fit?As for how bad the experience is when the notebook is combined,I know if I've used it。
In terms of hardware configuration, Lenovo ThinkCenter gives two processor specifications to choose from, namely Core i5-13420H and Core i3-1215U, the prices are 2799 yuan and 2499 yuan respectively. I'm not very satisfied with these two,One is that the CPU is not very good but there is a 64EU core display,The other is that the CPU is okay but the core display is only 48EU,I can only say that Lenovo knows how to do it。
In fact, the most ideal form of this form should be the Core i5-13500H, the frequency and nuclear graphics specifications are high enough, but unfortunately there is no such configuration to choose from, which is a pity. The two configurations given by the official are enough for the daily office of the work guard, but it is only enough.
When it comes to the RAM and hard drive section of the ThinkCenter Q500, it comes with 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD. Since there is only one M.2 slot, the hard drive can support up to 1TB, but it has a SATA interface, and you can insert a 2.5-inch hard drive yourself.
In terms of expansion interfaces, this product is very rich. There are 2 USB2.0 connected keyboard and mouse;1 on the front and 2 USB3.2 on the back,USB Type-C on the front,Network card interface on the back、HDMI and DP1.4,In addition, it actually has a VGA interface,It's a bit too comprehensive。
In terms of after-sales service, this product gives quite a lot. The Lenovo ThinkCenter Q500 has three years of door-to-door after-sales service, and you don't need to toss any problems yourself. In addition, there is a full-time worry-free service × 7, even if you encounter a problem in the middle of the night, you can immediately find after-sales, I have to say that commercial products are not the same.
To sum up, compared with other brands of mini hosts, the hardware configuration of this product is relatively average, and the advantages and disadvantages are summarized. But it's smaller and the service is better, which are two nice highlights. As for which of the two models of 2499 yuan or 2799 yuan is more worth buying, it depends on personal needs. If it were me, I would probably buy the 2499 yuan model.
