Compact business desktop

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s is a small-form-factor desktop built around an 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8500 hexa-core processor running at 3.0 GHz with a 4.10 GHz maximum turbo frequency. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory, a 1 TB 3.5-inch hard drive and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 handles display output while a USB wireless dongle adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

Upgrade path from older office PCs

This configuration replaces ageing dual-core or quad-core desktops that struggle with modern multitasking and 64-bit workloads. The six-core processor and 16 GB of DDR4 memory deliver a measurable jump for users running multiple business applications, browser tabs or light virtualisation. The 1 TB hard drive offers generous capacity for local files, though the board also supports dual-drive layouts with an M.2 boot drive plus the 3.5-inch bay for storage expansion up to 32 GB of total memory.

Limits of the integrated graphics and SFF chassis

Intel UHD Graphics 630 is suited to office productivity, video playback and multi-monitor setups but cannot accelerate 3D rendering, CAD or gaming workloads. The small-form-factor case restricts add-in cards to low-profile, half-length designs and the 65 W processor ceiling limits CPU upgrade options to comparable 65 W parts. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance, higher-wattage CPUs or full-height expansion slots should consider a larger tower platform.

Questions about this item

Will a standard 3.5" 1TB hard drive fit the SFF drive bay?

Yes, the 3.5" 1TB hard drive is the factory-fitted storage for this SFF chassis.

What is the correct way to add more DDR4 memory?

Insert DDR4 UDIMM modules into the 240-pin DIMM slots; the common mistake is buying laptop SO-DIMMs which do not fit.

When should the DVD-ROM drive be replaced?

Replace the DVD-ROM if it fails to read discs or if you need DVD writing capability, as this unit only reads.
