Lenovo Thinkcentre M700 Tiny

Post by crosscourt »

After my M900 dies I picked up three M700s for dirt cheap and the first showed up today. These have the i3 6100T vs my M900 that had a i5 6500T. I went up to 16gb ram, added a sata ssd as nvme isnt supported, and updated the bios. Its running MX Linux 23 presently and it runs very well. All hardware was spotted, no issues, and its running very well. Ill do a bit more testing and post back. You can get these systems from $30-$60 with wifi and 4-8gb of ram. It came with a spinning 500gb sata drive with Win10.

The other two systems came today and I updated the bios and added ram with no issues. The three systems are running Feren OS, Zorin OS and Fedora SilverBlue. The 4.2ghz i3 6100T cpus run great and run cooler than their i5 counterparts.
