Lenovo ThinkCentre M58e

 

The M58e I looked at comes in a tower configuration, but it is also available in a small-form-factor chassis. Unlike the M58p, however, the M58e is not available in the even-more-petite ultra-small form factor. There's plenty of space in the tower for...

Tower configuration gives the system lots of expansion space. Decent price. Good performance numbers. Environmentally friendly

Tower takes up a lot of desk or floor space. Perhaps more corporate-oriented than small-business-oriented. Not available in ultra-small form factor

Think of the Lenovo ThinkCentre M58e as the less expensive, more mainstream member of the M58 series. It shows that "entry level" doesn't have to mean stripped.

Decent

 

You aren't going to find anything better for $400, or maybe even $500 with an OS. Great buy if you are just looking for something basic.

Cheap ; One of the few pc's that come with XP native without having to downgrade ; Very decent as far as speed/performance goes ; Cheap

Let's face it, this computer is really ugly ; The bundled software is annoying, but not as bad as IBM usually is

Lenovo Desktop

 

Fits right under the base of the monitor I bought (just barely).

This unit is small, Very small, is very responsive, not loaded down with too much junk software. Powersupply is like a laptop power supply, externalized to make the box smaller. Has windows Vista Restore CDs, Pre-installed with XP

Power Brick is xbox power brick sized, pretty big -- considering the computer size

Lenovo Desktop

 

Nice Desktop, Runs pretty smoothly, Does not have much junk software installed. Only had uninstall office test drive and some basic lenovo software. Has a builtin speaker for basic sound

comes with vista recovery disks instead of XP recovery disks. Wonder if it would activate

Lenovo ThinkCentre M58 review

 

Lenovo primarily makes PCs for business, and the M58 is no exception. It's covered by a generous three-year onsite warranty, which is great for this price.
