Reliable Storage that Doesn’t Slow You Down
When you are in school, you need access to a lot of data. You will also be creating documents, presentations, photo albums, and more that need to be stored on your device. The worst thing that could happen is that you get halfway through the semester and your PC runs out of space!
With the Mini 5i, these worries will be non-existent. It runs on an efficient Windows 10 desktop that allows you to maximize your storage space and speed. You can choose from either a 256GB SSD or a 1 TB HDD – giving you plenty of runway to store large files like movies, RAW images, and applications.

All the Ports You Need
At Lenovo, we understand the importance of having enough ports on your device to connect accessories and additional tech. That's why this PC is equipped with a complete fleet of ports for your convenience.
You can find these slots on the front and back of the Mini 5i – the entire device was utilized to make the most out of the limited real estate available for ports.
On the front, you will find three ports: a USB 3.2 Type-C, a USB 3.2 Type-A, and a headphone and microphone combination jack. The rear slots on the Mini 5i include 4 USB 3.2 Type-As, a DisplayPort, an HDMI slot, and RJ45.

The HDMI slot allows you to connect an additional monitor to the Mini 5i, which can help students be more efficient and productive.
Advanced Tech
Students represent the next generation of engineers, doctors, teachers, and more – so it is only right that they have access to advanced tech that will propel them into the future.
The Mini 5i’s 10th Gen Intel Core processor is one of the most efficient on the market. It starts at 2.00 GHz but can be enhanced to 3.60 GHz with Turbo Boost, providing exceptional speed and reliability. The 6 cores, 12 threads, and 12 MB cache also ensure that your load times are minimized and there are no concerns with lag.
Just because the Mini 5i doesn’t come with a monitor doesn’t mean that the graphics aren’t amazing. The Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 card can generate vibrant visuals and accurate colors, so you can have an optimized viewing experience on the screen of your choice.
Accessorize as Needed
The Mini 5i is a stand alone PC, so the mouse, keyboard, and monitor are all sold separately. This presents an exciting opportunity to accessorize as needed. No two students are the same, so why should their tech accessories be identical?
Choose from our wide line of computer monitors designed to fit any space and budget. For example, you can mix and match the Mini 5i with almost any screen in our line-up. That includes gaming monitors designed to bring your students' favorite video games to life.
The same goes for your mouse and keyboard. Higher-level students may prefer ergonomic accessories that enhance their performance during extended usage - which might be time spent studying or gaming.
IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers
One of the best computers for students is the IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers. This next-generation PC boasts a thin profile that offers big performance – it is the best of both worlds. You no longer need a clunky desktop that takes up your entire workspace. Instead, opt for this device that allows you to access all the power you need – and then some – without requiring you to store a huge device.
Students need to manage many apps and programs, photos, music, videos, and other files for their courses. The IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers were designed to process all these requirements at once while keeping everything running smoothly.
When you purchase this PC, you will also get a USB mouse and keyboard, ensuring that you can be productive and efficient right away. It doesn’t come with a standard monitor option, but that just means you get to choose from our entire product line to find the perfect fit for your educational needs. You will also receive a quick start guide that outlines everything you need to know about your new desktop computer.
Selecting the best computers for elementary students can be tough, but the IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers are the top choice. Rather than worrying about flimsy laptops holding up to what younger students might put them through, consider instead this PC that has a slim and stylish tower that can be placed anywhere.
Trend-Setting Design
There’s a good chance that when you think of desktop PCs, the terms sophisticated, trendy, and slim don’t come to mind. The desktops we think of are large, unsightly, and outdated. Those other terms are reserved for tablets and laptops, right?
Well, the IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers are here to change the way you view desktop computers for good. They demonstrate superior craftmanship with their sleek lines and aesthetic finishes – these PCs were not built to be hidden in a cabinet or under a desk!
Its contemporary line designs highlight the mineral gray finish, allowing the PC to look trendy and appealing. The slim size gives you the chance to put it just about anywhere that you want, and it looks great with all types of designs and workstations.
The IdeaCentre 310S is only 8.4 L, making it half the size of your traditional desktop PC. This is perfect for students that have limited space on their desks because you can neatly store it under a monitor or tuck it away in the corner.
Whether you opt for this desktop PC in your home, college dorm, or classroom, you will not be disappointed with how modern the design looks.
Customize Your Storage Features
It can be frustrating to shop for the best computer for school, only to find that the ones with a slim and sleek design don't have enough storage. Having to pay for more storage than you will ever need can be as equally irritating, though!
The only way to solve this issue is to choose a PC that allows you to customize your storage features – and the IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers do exactly that.
If you don't need to store large files and prefer a desktop that can offer faster transfer speeds and shorter boot times, choose the 128GB SSD. This option still allows you to store a significant number of files, videos, and photos but enhances your processing speeds and efficiency.
On the other hand, if your student loves photography, videos, or music, consider the 1TB hard drive instead. This expansive storage capacity ensures that you can download large files, games, and more without running out of space on your PC.
As you can see, the multiple storage options allow you to prioritize what is most important to your student. Do you need a lot of storage space and want to make sure that you never have to delete files to make room for more? Or do you prefer faster boot times and processing for a smaller hard drive?
The choice is up to you!
Perfect for Students to MultiTask
It’s no secret that students love to multi-task. Very rarely will you find a high schooler or college student just studying – they are almost always blasting their favorite tunes, streaming videos, or chatting with friends at the same time. The more that technology becomes integrated into our lives, the greater amount of multi-tasking that will occur.
The best computers for students, like the IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers, can handle any task you throw at them. Even when they need to manage several at one time.
It doesn't matter if you are running multiple applications, watching shows, listening to an online lecture, or finishing your homework. This device has powerful performance that feels so smooth you won’t even realize you have so many things running at once.
You might be wondering – how can this desktop PC manage to multi-task so efficiently? The key to this power is the up to 10th Generation Intel Core processor and Radeon graphics. This top-tier tech was built to handle large amounts of processing requirements without slowing down or causing your programs to freeze or lag.
That means that the days of having to shut off your music or show just to get your school program to boot up are long gone.
Ports, Ports, and More Ports
An essential component of an effective PC solution is the ability to connect extra devices. This might mean adding a second monitor – or a third – external speakers, microphones, and webcams. The only way to do this, though, is to connect to a port.
Have you ever needed to charge your phone or connect a device to your computer, but there weren’t any slots left?
The IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers are designed for students in mind, so they offer plenty of ports to connect everything you need. How many is plenty, you ask? These devices allow you to connect with up to 8 USB ports.
Four of these are located right in the front of the tower, meaning you don't have to slide the desktop over or reach around it. The other four are in the back, but they can still be easily accessed, if necessary.
These PCs also include an HDMI port and a 7-in-1 card reader. Feel free to connect devices like cameras, tablets, and more so that you can optimize your learning experience.
Match Your PC with a Sleek Monitor
After you purchase one of the IdeaCentre 3 Series Towers, it is time to match it with the perfect monitor. Lenovo offers an impressive selection to choose from, which you can check out here.
There is something for every type of student when it comes to finding the right monitor. Students that enjoy gaming and immersing themselves in virtual worlds should consider one of our top-performing gaming monitors. A gaming monitor will provide a high-resolution display with life-like lighting - so you can have a realistic game experience.
If you are looking to outfit a large classroom with multiple devices, we also offer affordable and effective monitor solutions to meet these needs.
