Lenovo ThinkCenter Neo Ultra Review - 3.6L 14th Gen Micro Workstation

[@jessegriffin9]

The spec is quite impressive ngl. And it's upgradable.

[@MashITTech]

yeah its the first mini PC from lenovo that I have actually been interested in!

[@Blueraazor]

Looks great actually

[@FaisalBasonbul]

Great video as usual. I would love to have something like this

[@sativagirl1885]

Please do a shootout with the M4 macmini, if it would'nt be too much trouble.

[@adinnugroho6544]

Well, new Mac Mini has already out. But this guy even the Geekom, seems more interesting to me 😅

[@MashITTech]

new mini looks amazing, just wish you could game on them 🤣

[@GlobalWave1]

@@MashITTechYou can actually game on them using crossover, Cxpatcher and steam. In fact most titles currently work such as. Ghost of tsushima Alan wake 2 Cyberpunk 2077 Dead space remake Silent hill 2 remake Black myth wukong Sons of the forest 2 Most the resident evil remakes and village Metro exodus Hitman Final fantasy 7 Remake There’s a lot more but there’s a lot that doesn’t work such as games that use anti cheat unfortunately

[@harrisedgar]

For some reason the BUY link dosen't work for me. Great review BTW.

[@LouisDuran]

I really like this PC. Missing Thunderbolt is almost a dealbreaker. Can't believe they did that. However it would be REALLY REALLY nice if they had sold this as a barebones PC. I know that's not Lenovo's market, but I don't like the prices on their upgrades. Great review! I'm seriously considering this after watching the review.

[@SweBeach2023]

I guess it's something to buy used 3 years from now. But if spending almost $2k today - build an mITX system.

[@eddieoconnor4466]

My biggest issue when it comes to PC's like this?....can the "last"?....for like a three / four hour programming / coding session?...I feel these are good for small "bursts" of activity....but they might not hold up as well as a full tower for long sessions....especially for long hours running more than just an IDE (Music player, various chat programs along with web sites like Discord KZbin....Zoom etc) While FPS'es might be the stat most gamers love....talk to me about extended activity cooling & temps.....because that's the one thing that has prevented me from getting a small footprint mini-PC. Once I know it can handle those "early evening to wee hours of the morning" coding sessions?....then I might consider getting one...and THIS one looks like it would be the one to get?

[@Tigerex966]

Needs sd card slot How does it vompare to the m1 m2 m4 studio max and ultra. The 2 ssds and uogradeabl ram mac this much better long term

[@MashITTech]

How it compares comes totally down to the app. Gaming is an easy win for this neo obviously. But other apps swing either way. Video editing and exporting was faster on max studio because of its built in encoders/decoders. CPU heavy workloads would mostly favour the intel but the max studio is much quieter. Hope this helps

[@michaelepstein8356]

Geekom offer a tiny pc form factor with a 4060 gpu but can’t remember if it is the desktop version

[@MashITTech]

Oh wow! I have completely missed that, will go and take a look :)

[@michaelepstein8356]

@@MashITTech it’s called the megamini G1 but I think the Lenovo is a smaller form factor

[@baptistek1917]

Pointless. It is possible to build a tinier pc in itx fitting in a backpack, with more ports, more power, accepting any graphics card, for the same price.

[@Worthless.]

hey hey hey hey.... we'll have none of that... if you wanna compete with apple... shave that 1tb ssd down to 256gb and get rid of half of those ports.... 99.99% of users don't need that much storage and ports. also how DARE you allow users to upgrade the internals themselves.... solder those components on RIGHT NOW. if ppl want 'upgrades' they can have fomo instead and pay $200 for 8GB of ram or $200 for 256GB of extra storage.

[@MashITTech]

hahaha so so true. I love how they are getting so much praise for finally making 16gb the base configuration ram but still offer 256gb non upgradable SSD and apple fans defend them by saying "just buy an external" as if that's a great solution 🤣

[@ArminSteiner]

alomst bought it, but no USB-C is a NoGo for me.

[@MashITTech]

you get teh one on the front but the none on the rear is a real miss

[@malaysialifetravel]

Yes, with this form factor, it should have 2 or more Type C ports, either USB 4 or 3.

[@tigrezno2626]

only $1800...

[@strange_man]

4:15 it is not laptop I guess😀

[@MashITTech]

lol anyone would think I am mostly reviewing laptops 😂 good spot

[@strange_man]

@@MashITTech good video though :) really good hardware. i would like to see some LLM local running capabilities of this machine

[@porterjeronimo2984]

Lenovo..... Try to fix it, even if it's under warranty! Good Luck! This company is a scam!!!!

[@federicocatelli8785]

Mostly laptop parts in a larger case at not so cheap price....mah pass

[@MashITTech]

the only laptop parts are the ram due to the size, everything else is desktop class

[@federicocatelli8785]

@MashITTech I've misread the spec ....so you could, theoretically,replace GPU (if the supplied PSU is enough)?

[@MashITTech]

yes in theory as the size card you would put in wouldn't draw crazy power anyway (think ITX sized cards)

[@pbrigham]

Mac Studio? I think the new Mac mini will do :)

[@MashITTech]

Haha I just saw the new mini and it does look amazing! If only it could play games, I would seriously be tempted

[@ArthropodSpidey]

Weird coincidence considering the new mac mini announced today is more powerful and smaller? 😊😊
