ThinkCentre M630e Tiny - Lenovo Desktop?

I am in the market for a desktop. This one has 16GB DDR4 2666MHz and 512GB SSD PCIe. Is this a good buy for $890?

This is the model Part Number: 10YM0094US.

$890 for an i5 8265U and Intel 620 is very very very bad price. I have to assume the Tiny's will soon be getting revamped with ryzen 4000series even if it's only their mobile platforms. If you need one now, maybe a ryzen 4000 laptop will be way better for $6xx-$7xx. You can still plug it in on the side and leave it like a desktop and even take it out for mobility when required

I think there are some of these "tiny" desktops in there.

If you're infatuated with lenovo's tiny desktops, bauer systems sells a bunch of these refurb for <$300. Specs are a little older but probably still servicable.

I agree with you on this as well.
Just get one from there.

OP if your intention is just to browse the internet, get a refurb one with lower specs. It will be more than enough for your needs and can still be serviced since there are a ton of them around.

Nothing to see here...keep looking.
