Lenovo's Mini Powerhouse: New ThinkCentre Neo Ultra Packed with Intel Core Ultra 200 & RTX 5060
Who requires a giant tower for serious PC power. Lenovo is proving that giant power can be put into a little box with their updated ThinkCentre Neo Ultra mini PC for 2025. It's not just a refresh, however; it's a serious update, bringing some seriously powerful hardware to its small frame.
Packing a Punch: The Hardware Inside
Don't let the size fool you. The 2025 ThinkCentre Neo Ultra is designed to handle heavy-duty workloads. Inside its small body, you'll find:
- Intel Core Ultra 5, 7, or even the top-of-the-line Core Ultra 9 of the new 200 series.

- Plenty of memory and fast storage are included – all models feature 32GB of RAM and a speedy 1TB SSD.
Lenovo points out that this tiny machine has no issue with tasks like rendering smooth 4K video, playing today's high-end games, and accelerating artificial intelligence calculations. To keep everything in cool operation under stress, it features an internal cooling system built-in, powered by an onboard 300W power supply.
Connectivity and What Else You Want to Know
