Lenovo ThinkCentre M93P Tiny Mini Business Desktop Computer, Intel Dual-Core i5-4570T Processor up to 3.60 GHz, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, WiFi, Windows 10 Pro (Renewed)

This is just what it makes out to be. Very compact and quiet (never hear the fan). Used as a PC on the family room TV and hosts a Plex server for pictures, music and home movies etc. Just because I am who I am, I bumped the memory up to 16GB from the 8GB installed (had to buy 2 8GB sticks to replace both 4GB sticks installed). Installation was easy (thanks YouTube!). There was nothing about the performance of the machine that required the memory upgrade, I am just a tinkerer and wanted to future proof the machine from day one (as much as possible). This little box can do pretty much everything except games / apps that require dedicated/discrete graphics. I have it plugged into an Ethernet over powerline adapter so I did not test the WiFi dongle. Keyboard and Mouse were cheap but functional. I only used them long enough to get the PC up on my network and running VNC Server. I completed the install of everything headless and then installed under my TV with a logitech wireless mouse and keyboard. A great (Very) SmallFormFactor PC that I had no issues with being refurbished. Why pay 3 times the price when these units work just as well.

Also wanted to add my opinion to this thread. I too thought the wifi was integrated but I got over it - the supplied wifi dongle works just fine. Computer chasis was perfect on arrival and it took little time to get it up and running - it just needs updates to WIN10 not a complete download. Also, if you buy, check the drive for some latent information from the prior users. I was able to clear out nearly 30 gb of data from the memory and now have about 205 gb (out of 240 gb) left for my use. Dont do a lot of downloads and no gaming so this size memory is just fine for me (I use other music sources, Prime, Google so dont need to download any music or media). I can hear the fan but it isnt annoyingly loud - just present. Had to buy the stand separately - which I recommend doing. Keeps computer stable, upright and cooler. Hate to review so early on as Im always wary of first impressions but this is a great little computer at a very good price. I have had one other tiny form computer before and this one is way faster - logging on and loading webpages is a snap compared to my last mini-computer so Im really happy with this one. This one cost about 150 dollars less than the first one (i3, 500gb) and that was purchased 3+ years ago. Will update should anything bad happen between now and next Christmas. I JUST WANTED TO ADD - I BOUGHT THIS FROM AMAZON - NOT A 3RD PARTY SELLER. IT WAS REFURBISHED BY ANOTHER COMPANY BUT SOLD AND SHIPPED FROM AMAZON.

2018 Lenovo ThinkCentre M93P Tiny Mini Business Desktop Computer, Intel Dual-Core i5-4570T Processor up to 3.60 GHz, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, WiFi, Windows 10 Pro (Certified Refurbished). I purchased two of these units. The product description is misleading. Some Lenovo Tiny computers have built-in Wifi. The product description leads one to believe this would be the case. These units ship with a junky generic USB WiFi adapter. While technically the product description is accurate, the junk Wifi cards do not qualify as true WiFi for a business computer. The computers themselves work just fine. We install Lenovo Tiny computers into mobile carts which connect to WiFi. The models with integrated WiFi are great for this purpose. The junk USB WiFi adapters that shipped with these units do not work well at all.

Receive the Lenovo tiny mini computer, but no keyboard or mouse included as advertised. The unit was minimally packaged, strapped to a piece of cardboard with some "plastic wrap". Only accessories include was a USB Wifi unit, so plan on 1 less available USB slot. Power supply provided, but the wires were just wrapped and tangled around the supply. No time taken to perhaps wrap the wires neatly. No Mouse or keyboard included as advertised and no other documentation. Unit appeared in good shape despite packaging, no signs of heavy wear or damage. booted up immediately, no issues with Win 10 Pro or activation. Seems quick and quiet so far. Not full of bloatware just LibreOffice? and K-lite Codec Pack? Note: Has VGA and "DisplayPort" video. NO HDMI so you will need a DP to HDMI adapter if your monitor does not support DisplayPort. 2 stars because no keyboard and mouse and really, this is just USED, not refurbished or renewed. Updated 5/14 After contacting the seller about the lack of Keyboard and Mouse, they did respond immediately and send a keyboard and mouse. The tiny mini is working well.

I received the unit as described but although the power supply put out 20V, the system unit did not power on. Vendor only allows replacement, so well see if the second unit works. Be warned - there is obviously no testing prior to shipping. Update - A second unit was shipped ahead of the return and it arrived in a of couple days. This second unit works very well as a machine for shopping, email, letter writing, music, etc. Very compact and low power. VGA output only. It came with Windows 10 Creator pre-loaded so setup was easy.

Cons: There was no WiFi, integrated or otherwise. Not a bit deal to me, but might be to you. There were still dust bunnies inside the case that I had to blow out myself, even though there was a shiny new SSD that they had to remove the cover to install. The power supply is an older model that is not compatible, so they included an adapter to make it compatible. Pros: Came with 2x DisplayPort and 1x VGA connectors. The Windows 10 Pro license seems to be proper and authentic; you do have to punch in the license key yourself, and they included decent instructions on how to do that. The system is otherwise running as it should, and represents a moderately good value for money. I would pay a few dollars more for the proper power adapter and a proper cleaning job though.

I purchased this a little worried about the price because it is so low. Very happy with the computer. Refurbished, renewed no problem - comes with authentic win 10 license. The 240G SSD is nice option making it responsive. I purchase lenovo tiny form factor computers for work and know they are reliable. I have been purchasing computers for over 30 years and wonder why we cant get a new computer that works well for $300 - well this is example of one that is at that price point, not brand new, but take advantage of the "renewed" its works just as well as one that is over $500.

Product is well packaged and in good condition. I have 9 of these M93s and they are great, this one is advertised with WIFI support which it does not have on board (some of mine do, some I have to use a USB dongle). I saw others note this as well but that it had a wifi dongle included to add this support which I am fine with. Mine was missing this dongle, only the CPU, power supply and (cheap non-lenovo) Keyboard and Mouse. This was not a big deal but after nearly on hour on the phone with reseller and Amazon there is no solution. I finally gave up and ended up ordering a $15 dongle. Not the end of the world but I didnt get what I ordered and what should have been easily remedied was not.

Unlike the previous reviewer, our experience was uneventful. In fact, Im here because I came back to order another and saw the bad review - figured I should at least put in my $.02. I would believe that the other purchaser got a bad or incorrect power supply tho - sometimes things go awry. As for our experience, the tiny PC looked new - no blemishes. Fired up Win10 without issue. Nice and fast. Its only been in service for about 2 weeks but so far so good.

Computer would startup ok, but then freeze up after a couple of windows were opened. Restarted it several times, talked with technical support twice, install updates, all with no luck. I was a bit concerned about purchasing a refurbished machine, now I know why. Not worth all the extra time trouble shooting, shipping it back, etc just to save a couple of bucks. I should have purchased a new machine.
