Lenovo ThinkCentre A51

Ruggedly built, yet small in stature, this desktop has the same configuration as the M51, apart for an extra 512MB of memory and a larger hard drive. ...

Small

Comparitively poor performance

Small, rugged and good looking, the ThinkCentre A51 is suitable for everyday office tasks and won't occupy too much space on the desk. Its tool-less design and its comfortable keyboard and 17in monitor make it a pleasure to work on. We do wish it was a...

Review: Lenovo’s ThinkCentre Edge 92z is good for both work and play

This all-in-one delivers business-class features, plus a discrete GPU option that's good enough for games.

Svelte design ; Business-oriented feature set ; Good gaming performance ; VESA mount for optional articulated arm or stand

Wired keyboard and mouse ; No Blu-ray option

Surprisingly good gaming ices the cake with this thin, light, and capable all-in-one.

Lenovo ThinkCentre A51 Ultra Small

Artwork: Rick Rizner, Chris Manners

Small footprint; well designed

Modest performer; limited expandability

Well-designed office PC takes up little space and permits easy--though limited--upgrades to extend its useful life.

Lenovo A51 Ultra Small

The A51's ultrasmall case fits into cramped office spaces, but contains an Ultrabay expansion slot, which lets you share peripherals, such as optical drives, with other ThinkPad and ThinkCentre users. Systems like this have advantages over...

Compact. Shares Ultrabay components (optical and removable hard drives) with ThinkPad line. Hardware security, including biometrics. Easy-to-service components. Internal power supply

Not very expandable. Non-removable palm rest in keyboard

With a compact form factor, decent pricing, and proven quality, the Lenovo ThinkCentre A51 Ultra Small should easily find a home in offices around the country.

Excellent high-end PC

Needed a fast, big-memory machine for video editing, etc., and found a very able machine. I-7 processor and 16 gig of RAM and Windows 7 Pro make for fast processing and image rendering. Would buy again, as Lenovo does a good job supporting their...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Nice enough for a gamer's second PC

I keep on seeing reviews by people (presumably kids) who taking these and turning them in to "gaming rigs". This is not a viable gaming PC and never could be, thanks to AGP graphics and a generic motherboard. But, what a great system for families,...

It's nothing spectacular, but it certainly works for what it was designed for - light personal/business use. The case is nice enough and pretty quiet. Built-in graphics aren't good, but anyone buying this is probably looking for an "internet machine"....

I'm iffy on the power supply. 250W seems like nothing, but I suppose that with the lack of extra hardware and cooling, it's plenty

Decent

This is a decent computer, got a AGP slot which is nice, only thing it needs it a RAM upgrade which you can suprisingly get off newegg for wonderful prices =)

Lenovo ThinkCentre M71z 1664 - Core i5 2400S 2.5 GHz - Monitor : LCD 20"

Bought one as a server for the house. Solid build, solid performance, decent price, and the rigid case was great for some Dremel induced drive array mods. :)

Lenovo ThinkCentre M92z 3298 - Core i5 3470 3.2 GHz - Monitor : LED 20"

Really very good configuration. In our organization, we are using all Lenovo desktops. But when i search this system in market resellers said not available in market.
