Compact desktop with i5-8500 and GT 1030
This small-form-factor Lenovo desktop pairs a six-core Intel Core i5-8500 running at 3.00 GHz base and 4.10 GHz turbo with 16 GB of DDR4 memory. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 supplies 2 GB of GDDR5 dedicated graphics. Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed, making the system suited to everyday office work, study tasks and light esports titles.
SFF chassis with dual-drive storage and mixed
The compact case holds a 256 GB SSD for fast boot and application loading alongside a 500 GB hard drive for bulk files. Connectivity includes USB 3.1, USB 2.0 and a USB-C port, plus both HDMI and DisplayPort for dual-monitor setups. Gigabit Ethernet and audio jacks handle wired networking and sound. An RGB keyboard and mouse are bundled for immediate use.
GT 1030 limits frame rates to entry-level gaming
The 1030 is designed for casual play and media streaming rather than modern AAA titles at high settings. The small-form-factor enclosure restricts future graphics upgrades to low-profile cards with modest power draw. The 8th-generation Core i5 lacks support for newer instruction sets required by some current applications. Buyers who want more storage headroom or a higher-performance GPU should consider a larger tower platform.

Questions about this item
Does the USB 3.1 port reach its full 10 Gbit/s speed with this i5-8500 system?
The i5-8500 platform caps USB 3.1 at 5 Gbit/s in practice, so the port runs at USB 3.0 speeds despite the 3.1 label.
Will a standard-height graphics card fit inside this Small Form Factor chassis?
Only low-profile cards fit the SFF case; the installed GT 1030 is low-profile and a full-height card cannot be mounted.
How is the GT 1030 installed and what step do builders often miss?
The card is already seated in the PCIe x16 slot; the step people miss is connecting the monitor to the card’s HDMI or DisplayPort instead of the motherboard video outputs.
