I saw these at BETT.

 

Are they any good?

That is for the 23" monitor and housing, you need to purchase a compatible Lenovo Tiny PC to slot in the back.

Yes sorry I meant with the Tiny PC in the back.

Got loads of them i3 and i5s they are all 3yr warranty

You have to buy the vesa mount separately.

We also buy .3 meter VGA cables and M5 screws from CPC to hang them on BENQ monitors as the screws supplied with the brackets only fit Lenovo monitors..

They are supplied with a Lenovo laptop power brick, the DVD is an expensive clip on.

The are a great little box well built and small enough not attract attention.

They are quite heavy being solid metal casing so don't work too well if the monitor is height adjustable unless you can lock the height adjuster.

 

We tried to fit them to the back of some HP stands but the just collapsed under the weight. Had to pin the mechanism to keep the monitor at a workable height.

 

Hence I suspect why they have made a compatible display/stand.

I hope they are good as we have just bought 33 i5s to be installed at Easter. I saw them at BETT too, got one to show the boss and he fell in love with it

A friend of mine had purchased 7,500 for his work. They are that happy with them they are placing an order for another 10,000 units.

 

This is a organisation that typically uses Dell.

We have a suite of the PCs - not the monitors in the article. They seem great. My only concern was part replacement but they are on a 3 year lease with 3 year cover so no worries

 

Only issue is that it confuses the students when turning them on as the power button is behind the monitor!

Dear Fiza,

 

From our experience as a Lenovo Gold Partner specialising in education and supplying numerous schools with these, the Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 Tiny Desktop has proved successful with schools for the following reasons:-

1. Space is premium in classrooms and the 'Tiny' means you aren't tripping over bulky small form factors and tower desktops that you might be used to;

2. With Pentium / i3 / i5 / i7 processors, various SATA and SSD Hard Drive options, and upgradeable RAM, they are as configurable as a full size desktop;

3. The Lenovo 'Tiny' is now in its third generation and is as reliable as any other desktop - we have experienced very few issues;

4. The Tiny in One Monitor means you can hide away the Tiny in its own casing, effectively making an All-in-One product that makes it more difficult to tamper with in the classroom.

 

If we can be of any assistance, and provide an evaluation unit please feel free to contact us - we also have a page set up at http://www.thinklogic.co.uk/edugeeks that provides some information and pricing.

 

Kind Regards,
