Lenovo ThinkCentre a61e

Lenovo's ThinkCentre a61e shows that energy efficiency is good for two kinds of green: the kind that saves your business and the kind that saves the planet.

Energy-efficient (EPEAT Gold and Energy Star 4.0). Compact. Dual-core processor. Quiet. Inexpensive for a business PC. Lenovo ThinkVantage utilities, including Rescue and Recovery. 3-year warranty. Easy-open case design. Desktop-class hard drive and...

A smidge less performance than other business systems. No internal expansion for PCI/PCIe cards. External power brick. Notebook-class RAM. Only VGA-out. Norton Internet Security subscription for only 90 days.

Lenovo Thinkcentre a61e

The a61 trades internal expandability for compactness, but this is okay, since most office workers don't need specialized expansion cards anyway. Those who need specialized setups (like point-of-sale terminals) and workers in offices that lack wired...

This compact desktop PC from Lenovo shows that you can have energy efficiency as well as an easy-to-live-with business PC, making it a good choice for your mainline workers.

Expert Review

Not contented to be just another typical business PC the Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e is an environmentally friendly, compact business PC solution with a lot of potential. It's not a hugely powerful performer, but we like the small form factor and quiet...
