Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s SFF Desktop PC i5-8500 8GB DDR4 512GB M.2 SSD + 1TB HDD

Compact business desktop for office workloads

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s is a small-form-factor desktop built around an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8500 hexa-core processor running at 3.0 GHz up to 4.1 GHz. It ships with 8 GB DDR4 memory, a 512 GB M.2 SSD for the operating system and a 1 TB hard drive for bulk storage. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed and a USB keyboard and mouse are included.

Dual-drive layout and included peripherals change

The 512 GB M.2 SSD holds the OS and applications for fast boot and load times while the 1 TB hard drive provides large-capacity file storage without extra configuration. A USB Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dongle adds wireless connectivity out of the box. The bundled USB keyboard and mouse mean the system is ready to deploy without separate accessory purchases.

65 W hexa-core CPU sets the performance ceiling

The Core i5-8500 delivers six cores at 65 W TDP with Intel UHD Graphics 630 for integrated video output. Memory tops out at 32 GB DDR4 across two DIMM slots so heavy multitasking may require an upgrade. Buyers who need discrete graphics performance or more than two internal drive bays should look elsewhere.
