Lenovo Thinkcentre M81 5025B1G

Intel I7 Quad core for a reasonable price. Yes, it's a second Gen, but the processing power was plenty for my needs. 4 slots for Ram Win7 Pro 64-bit OS I'm running Blue Iris surveillance software for 3 IP Cameras on my property. Current CPU load hovers...

It might be a Pro for some, but mine came with the regular I7 2600. I specifically wanted the low power chip, because I'm using this as a 24/7 surveillance system for my IP Cameras. Because it's an OEM BIOS, I can't under-clock the system to reduce the...

I was looking to upgrade my home system and was looking for something that could also be used occasionally for "work from home". I'm not a gamer (I'm a programmer) so I didn't need a unit with high end video or massive storage. This unit fit the bill...

FYI-The supplied mouse and keyboard are in the "economy" category. I didn't buy the unit for the mouse and keyboard so no impact to my rating.

- Powerful - Good for SQL/Spreadsheets - East to upgrade to Windows 10 - No bloatware

- Had to buy a wireless adapter - Had to buy a VGA Cable

- comes with a recovery partition - comes with software to make a bootable USB from the recovery partition - fans were clean (no dust) - required drivers were part of the recovery

- hdd drive cage was not installed correctly, drive went flying and tore loose from the sata/power connector

It is a great computer if you are upgrading from a lower end computer. I came from stock generic Inspiron 560 to this. Huge leap. VALUE IS GREAT FOR PRICE. The i7 2600s is a powerhouse. for the price of one highest end cpu you get a full computer.

Refurbished = risk of earlier replacement (not always the case)

-i7 processor has plenty of power -Easily upgradable I installed an SSD Drive and a USB 3.0 PCI card and the computer flies. Throw in a video card and some more ram for a really great rig.

Could use a bit more RAM and a larger HDD, but those are easily upgraded

Well built, fast, works out of the box

NIC card not working - adapter says cable not plugged in, but it is and is working with another PC, same cable. Also, why is the NEWGG website so incredibly slow?

Nice mid-full sized tower, 3.3ghz i3, 4gb ddr in 1 stick of the 4 spaces on the mother board, 500gb HDD setup just as C drive. Under $200 shipped ; Enough room for my GTX 460: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121391 ; Top mount...

Video graphics are the worst possible, microsoft overall rating is 1.0 due to graphics. Weak power supply you only have 1x 4pin molex connection & 1x SATA power cable extra. And the 3.25 floppy power cable... Old i3 not a nice new i7

It works fine. Windows 7 is loaded and is clear of bloatware. The packaging was good. Once I installed a SSD the computer ran quite fast

The fan did seem to have dust/dirt stuck to it. But the motherboard and other components seemed fine. The hard drive is small and seemed quite slow. Not much of an issue because I installed a SSD
