AI in AIO: ThinkCentre neo 55a Gen 6

A bold statement in streamlined design, the ThinkCentre neo 55a Gen 6 all-in-one desktop is the ideal choice for companies demanding clutter-free AI performance without the need of an external monitor or unsightly cables. Powered by up to an AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor with an integrated NPU, up to 32GB of DDR5 memory and up to 1TB of SSD storage, the all-in-one stands out with a 23.8-inch FHD display with 100Hz refresh rate, which will vary depending on device settings and other factors,  and 99% sRGB coverage for sharp visuals.

Perfect for compact spaces or shared workplaces, the ThinkCentre neo 55a Gen 6 comes with a 5MP camera and Lenovo Smart Meeting Tools, a set of solutions designed to make meetings more seamless, productive and protected, including digital avatar creation, AI Noise Suppression to filter out unwanted sounds and keep the speaker’s voice clear and natural, and Face & Group Tracking that automatically zooms, pans or widens to ensure that the speaker or group is always centered. It features Lenovo AI Now and comes with immersive audio from Dolby® tuned by Harman®, and an integrated eShutter that physically blocks the camera for privacy.

Small Meets AI: ThinkCentre neo 55s Gen 6

A next-generation small form factor desktop, the ThinkCentre neo 55s Gen 6 brings the capability of up to an AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processor to small and medium-sized business workers. Designed for multitasking and AI functionality, this desktop combines the powerful graphics options of up to 4GB AMD Radeon™ RX 6400 or an option of up to 6GB NVIDIA® GeForce™ RTX 3050 with the future-ready connectivity of Wi-Fi 7, if the user has a router and a service plan, and the ability to connect to multiple monitors and all the peripherals at the same time.

The desktop is built responsibly with 85% PCC recycled ABS plastic in its chassis, and ENERGY STAR® 9.0 and TÜV Ultra Low noise certified. For organisations looking to go further, Lenovo offers CO₂ Offset Services to help offset the estimated CO₂ emissions across the average lifecycle of your device through the purchase of credits supporting verified climate action projects aimed to help reduce CO₂ emissions. Lenovo also offers Asset Recovery Services to support responsible device retirement and circularity.

Big AI, Tiny Footprint: ThinkCentre neo 55q Gen 6

Tiny yet powerful, the ThinkCentre neo 55q Gen 6 can hide behind a monitor screen and conquer complex AI tasks at the same time. Measuring just 7.2-inches (183 mm) long and weighing around 2.49 lbs. (1.13 kg), the desktop can be deployed in nearly any location without compromising performance, with up to an AMD Ryzen AI 300 series processor, up to 64GB of DDR5 memory and up to 2TB of SSD storage. Despite its petite size, this desktop sports an array of ports, supporting up to three 4K monitors, and having the option of adding an extra COM, HDMI, VGA, DP, or LAN port with an extra Punch-out Port for even more connectivity.

Lenovo’s new ThinkCentre neo Gen 6 desktops are backed by Lenovo ThinkShield, a comprehensive end-to-end security solution that combines hardware and software to protect users data, and a fTPM or dTPM 2.0 chip that encrypts passwords and data.

For additional peace of mind, the new family of desktops comes with Lenovo Premier Support Plus, a program that provides direct 24/7/365 access to expert technicians for troubleshooting, AI-ready support service to empower businesses to adopt AI faster and deliver results sooner, and much more.
