Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this PC have Wi-Fi built-in?
No, the Lenovo ThinkCentre neo 50s does not come with built-in Wi-Fi. You will need a separate USB Wi-Fi adapter or a compatible PCIe Wi-Fi card for wireless network connectivity.
What is the maximum RAM this PC supports?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre neo 50s supports a maximum of 64 GB of internal memory across its two DIMM slots.
Can I upgrade the graphics card?

What version of Windows does it come with?
This model comes pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro.
Is the SSD upgradeable?
Yes, the PC features an M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, which can be upgraded to a larger capacity drive if needed, provided it is compatible with the motherboard.
What are the physical dimensions of the PC?
The PC has a Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis with dimensions of 100 mm (width) x 308 mm (depth) x 274.8 mm (height).
Does it include a keyboard and mouse?
Yes, the product specifications indicate that both a wired keyboard and a wired mouse are included.
Troubleshooting
PC will not power on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the PC and a working wall outlet. Check if the power supply switch on the back of the PC is in the 'on' position.
Slow performance
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-hungry processes. Ensure the PC is free from dust internally by using compressed air. Verify that the SSD is not nearly full.
No display output
Ensure the monitor cable is securely connected to both the PC's display output port and the monitor. Try a different display cable or port if available. Confirm the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source.
Internet connection issues (Ethernet)
Check that the Ethernet cable is properly plugged into both the PC and the router/modem. Restart your router and modem. Verify the network adapter is enabled in Windows settings.
DVD drive not reading discs
Ensure the disc is clean and inserted correctly into the drive. Try a different disc to rule out disc damage. Restart the computer and try again.
