Every now and then I think it’d be nice to replace the small desktop computer that’s been plugged into my TV for the past few years.
And then I remind myself that it’s still good enough for my needs: it acts as a home media server and backup device and lets me surf the web or play DVDs in the living room. For internet video I primarily use an Amazon Fire TV Stick.
But if IÂ were going to replace my home theater PC, I’d be awfully tempted to pick up Lenovo’s ThinkCentre M700 Tiny desktop, which Woot is currently selling for $390.
That price gets you a compact desktop PC with Windows 7 Pro, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of solid state storage, and an Intel Core i3-6100T processor (which is a 35W chip that outperforms a 15W laptop chip like the Core i7-6500U in many benchmarks).
Anyway, I’m not ready to replace my mini desktop yet. But if you are, that Lenovo model looks like a pretty good deal. It also comes with a 3-year warranty.
