Compact business desktop with hexa-core i5-8500

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s is a small-form-factor desktop built around an Intel Core i5-8500 hexa-core processor running at 3.0 GHz with a 4.10 GHz maximum turbo frequency. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 UDIMM memory and a 3.5-inch 1 TB hard drive. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and a USB Wi-Fi/Bluetooth dongle provides wireless connectivity. A DVD-ROM drive and wired USB keyboard and mouse are included.

Check power, expansion slots and monitor inputs

The SFF chassis uses a 65 W processor and a proprietary power supply; verify that the unit’s power connector and wattage match any graphics card you may add. Only low-profile expansion cards will fit the available slots. Ensure your display has a compatible video input for the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 output. Memory upgrades use 240-pin DDR4 UDIMM modules up to the board’s supported maximum.

Included peripherals and wireless dongle remove

The bundled USB keyboard and mouse let you start working immediately without sourcing separate input devices. The supplied USB wireless dongle adds 5 GHz-capable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so no internal card or antenna installation is required. Windows 11 Pro is already licensed and activated, eliminating the need to buy or install an operating system separately.
