Lenovo Announces Three New ThinkCentre neo AI Desktop Models
Lenovo have announced a new generation of ThinkCentre desktop computers aimed at small and medium-sized businesses, powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 Series processors. The new models are part of the Copilot+ PC program, integrating advanced on-device artificial intelligence capabilities.
The new lineup includes three models in different form factors: the ThinkCentre neo 55a Gen 6, an all-in-one (AIO) desktop; the ThinkCentre neo 55s Gen 6, a small form factor (SFF) model; and the ThinkCentre neo 55q Gen 6, a “tiny” desktop with a 1-litre chassis.
The central feature of the new desktops is the AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor, which includes an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of up to 50 TOPS (trillions of operations per second). This hardware is designed to run AI tasks locally on the device, enabling new Microsoft Copilot+ features such as advanced Windows search functions and other on-device AI assistance through Lenovo’s AI Now software.
The neo 55a Gen 6 AIO model features a 23.8-inch FHD display with a 100Hz refresh rate and an integrated 5MP camera. The system also includes AI-powered meeting tools like noise suppression and group tracking.
For businesses requiring more graphical power, the neo 55s Gen 6 SFF offers options for discrete graphics cards, including the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 or AMD Radeon RX 6400, along with Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
The compact neo 55q Gen 6 is designed for space-constrained environments and can be mounted behind a monitor. Despite its small size, it supports up to 64GB of DDR5 memory and can power up to three 4K displays.
All models incorporate security features, including Lenovo’s ThinkShield solution and a dedicated or firmware-based TPM 2.0 chip for data encryption. The new desktops also utilise post-consumer recycled plastics in their chassis and bezels.
According to Lenovo, the ThinkCentre neo 55s Gen 6 is now available to order, with a starting price of RM3,500. Availability for the other models was not specified. You can find out more through the official Lenovo website.
