Lenovo has introduced a new generation of ThinkCentre desktops that rely on the mini PC form factor and AI capability, with models powered by AMD’s new Ryzen AI 300 Series processors.
The ThinkCentre neo 55 family, which includes the 55a all-in-one, 55s small form factor, and 55q mini, aims to bring AI performance to small and medium-sized businesses.
Each device offers a different take on the balance between performance, space and cost, and together they show how Lenovo hopes to improve what a business PC can do.
Compact design meets AI computing
The highlight of the lineup is the ThinkCentre neo 55q Gen 6, which Lenovo promotes as a “small but powerful” system capable of running complex AI workloads despite its size.
At just 7.2 inches long and weighing just over 2 pounds, it can be mounted behind a monitor or placed in tight office spaces.
Equipped with AMD Ryzen AI chips, it includes up to 64 GB of DDR5 memory and 2 TB of SSD storage.
Lenovo even kept the traditional options alive by offering additional VGA and COM ports through a modular connection port, catering to legacy applications that some businesses still rely on to run older industrial or diagnostic tools.
Beyond size, Lenovo has tied the entire neo 55 line to Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC frame.
This means built-in AI features like “Click to Do” and “Agent Settings,” which streamline navigation and automate tasks.
The ThinkCentre neo 55a Gen 6 all-in-one combines a 23.8-inch FHD display with a built-in camera and Harman-tuned audio.
Its AI-powered meeting tools, such as “Face and Group Tracking” and “AI Noise Suppression,” are aimed at hybrid workplaces that need clear audio and images.
It supports up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and includes two SSD slots offering a total of 2TB of storage.
For connectivity, this device comes with multiple USB 4.0 and HDMI 2.1 ports.
Meanwhile, the 55s Gen 6 offers a balance between size and expandability, allowing for up to 6GB Nvidia or 4GB AMD Radeon graphics cards and multiple monitor outputs.
Supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory, two M.2 slots, and a PCIe 4.0 expansion bay for performance upgrades and peripheral integration.
This makes it a plausible mobile workstation for small teams managing graphics-intensive workloads.
Lenovo continues to emphasize responsible production, using up to 85% post-consumer recycled plastic and offering CO₂ offset services that support verified emissions reduction projects.
The company’s ThinkShield security suite, TPM 2.0 encryption and intrusion detection cables serve as standard protection across the range.
Added to this is Lenovo’s Premier Support Plus, which provides 24-hour access to AI-ready service specialists.
The ThinkCentre neo 55a Gen 6 and neo 55s Gen 6 are now available starting at $549 and $479, respectively, while the neo 55q Gen 6 will continue with an expected starting price of $499.
