Lenovo ThinkCentre Neo Ultra Test

[@vishwsant]

So few reviews of such an interesting product. How much did it cost? And can you share the idle and max power consumption? Thanks.

[@Netaction]

I have an idea how I could measure the current. But I need a few days. The computer cost 2030€ in my configuration.

[@vishwsant]

@@Netaction No worries. Thanks for the super quick reply! How strange that the same config is approx 200€ cheaper in my country. Such products are usually expensive here.

I did some tests with my Westfalia Wetekom PM-30. Not sure it measures the non sinus power correctly but I hope it does. The power jumps between 10W and 50W, staying at 23W most of the time. I think this is very good for a PC, Windows eats CPU time. Seems Lenovo does not make it worse than an Intel PC always is. In Minecraft Bedrock with CPU Graphics, no RTX, the power in the display was 150W.

@@Netaction Nice. Thank you. Yeah, 10W-23W idle is pretty good, more so because it also includes 4060. Regarding Minecraft, you said 'CPU Graphics,' does that mean you were using integrated graphics and not the 4060? Not very clear on that part.

Wow ich wollte mir den auch bestellen. Aber dank deinem Video weiß ich das des Gerät zu laut ist. Echt schade. Design technisch sieht er echt so gut aus. Auch wenn irgendwelche Benchmarks zeigen das Arm Prozessor besser sein sollen, zeigen CPU wie der 14900T in der Realität besser Ergebnisse.

[@MrSadra]

thanks. do you recommend it?

[@Netaction]

It is small and powerfull and looks nice. Please read the description text. It is clearly too expensive, the Mac Studio offers more for the same price. But I can't say if the price is worth it for you. I am happy and would buy it again.

[@MrSadra]

@@Netaction thansk for your reply. i understand and agree. I need a device with windows operating system and I am interested in this one. but its too expensive and I am not really sure if it worth it

[@LouisDuran]

@@Netaction I agree. This is a nice little PC. I wish it came with Ubuntu. Or just as a "barebones" PC. Also it would have been nice if Leonovo offered the RTX 4060 Ti with 16 GB variant. I believe that PSU would be enough to power a 4060Ti

[@Netaction]

​@@LouisDuranThis PC is available without any operating system. I got mine without Windows.

[@bartgijsens5674]

is this much louder than a laptop? thnx for answering

[@Netaction]

In idle it is louder. A laptop makes no noise while the Lenovo always has the fans on at slow speed. You can only hear it in a quiet room. Under load, the noise is roughly the same. Fans are working. The Lenovo might be a bit less annoying as there is no harsh high sound, only low frequencies.

[@AindriuMacGiollaEoin]

Its very tidy, uses a desktop gpu not a laptop gpu, maybe there will be sales

[@Netaction]

Yes the GPU is cooled at 1000rpm while idle. That GPU should not be actively cooled. For example the Founder's Edition card from NVidia does not spin up the fans most of the time. No matter which case is used. This case is only sold with this card and should perfectly match. There is no reason to let the fan run all the time. Except it would be used to cool the rest of the PC, too. If the GPU cooler would cool the CPU and the mainboard, then the GPU fan would be running for a good reason. Most of the noise comes from the CPU fan. There are calm fans available and there are better case design options. This PC's first priority was visibly the price. This is a cheap computer. Seems they threw in some standard components that don't work that well together.
