Business tower for AI workloads

The Lenovo IdeaCentre Tower is a new 2025 desktop built around the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 processor with 20 cores and 20 threads running at a 1.8 GHz base and up to 5.3 GHz boost. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and Copilot+ PC features, targeting offices that want on-device AI acceleration without a discrete graphics card.

16 GB DDR5 and 2 TB NVMe headroom

16 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory across two slots handles typical business multitasking and light content creation, while the 2 TB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe M.2 SSD provides ample space for large project files and local AI models. Memory-intensive workloads or multiple virtual machines will hit the 16 GB ceiling, and the single M.2 slot means adding a second fast drive requires a 3.5-inch hard-drive bay instead.

Tower connectivity and expansion

The chassis includes one HDMI 2.1 output, Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, two USB 2.0 Type-A, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, plus 3.5 mm audio jacks. A 260 W power supply and integrated Intel Graphics limit discrete GPU upgrades, but the included USB keyboard and mouse let you start working immediately. Builders needing more graphics power or additional high-speed storage bays should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will my older USB 2.0 peripherals work with the four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports on this desktop?

Yes, the four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports are backward compatible, so existing USB 2.0 keyboards, mice, printers or drives will function normally.

How can I verify the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 is running at its 5.3 GHz boost clock after setup?

Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, choose CPU and watch the live frequency reading; it should reach 5.3 GHz during heavy workloads.

Does the box include a monitor or only the tower, USB keyboard, USB mouse and 260 W power supply?

The package contains the tower, a USB keyboard, a USB mouse and the 260 W power supply; a monitor is not included and must be purchased separately.
