Lenovo has introduced a new generation of ThinkCentre desktops that lean on the mini PC form factor and AI capabilities, with models powered by AMD’s new Ryzen AI 300 Series processors.
The ThinkCentre neo 55 family, including 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 standout of the lineup is the ThinkCentre neo 55q Gen 6, which Lenovo is promoting as a “small yet powerful” system capable of running complex AI workloads despite its size.
Measuring just 7.2 inches in length and weighing just over 2 pounds, it can be mounted behind a screen or tucked into tight office setups.
Powered by AMD Ryzen AI chips, it includes up to 64GB of DDR5 memory and 2TB of SSD storage.
Lenovo even kept traditional options alive by offering additional VGA and COM ports through a modular punch-out port that fits legacy applications that some companies still rely on to run legacy industrial or diagnostic tools.
In addition to size, Lenovo has tied the entire neo 55 series to Microsoft’s Copilot+ PC framework.
This means integrated AI features such as “Click to Do” and “Agent in 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 & Group Tracking” and “AI Noise Suppression,” target hybrid workplaces that need clear audio and visuals.
It supports up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and includes two SSD slots that offer 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 up to 6GB Nvidia or 4GB AMD Radeon graphics cards and multiple display outputs.
It supports up to 128GB of DDR5 memory, two M.2 slots and a PCIe 4.0 expansion slot for performance upgrades and peripheral integration.
This makes it a plausible mobile workstation for small teams handling graphics-heavy workloads.
Lenovo continues to emphasize responsible manufacturing by using up to 85% recycled plastic and offering CO₂ Offset Services that support verified emission 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 round-the-clock 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 follows with an expected starting price of $499.
