The IdeaCentre Mini 5i is a tiny, affordable PC focused on casual or home office use.

Lenovo's IdeaCentre Mini 5i is sort of a mix of the best mini PCs and NUCs and a small piece of furniture that will fit well into a living room or home office. It's quite compact, it has a textile top panel, and it has the performance needed to handle a fair amount of productivity work. The price is also quite reasonable, with models starting at about $500. I've been using this tiny PC for a couple of weeks to see what it's all about and whether or not it's worth your money.
