Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For ~£2k ex-VAT, the **Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub** feels like a *proper meeting-room endpoint*, not a “TV but smarter” gadget. Where it makes sense is in offices that want something dependable for **Teams/room control**, quick sign-in workflows with **Windows 11 IoT**, and a clean all-in-one experience without faffing around with mini PCs, dongles and driver chaos. Lenovo’s typically strong on manageability and stability—useful if you’re rolling out a handful of rooms and you don’t want users calling you every time Windows does an update.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it blindly if you’re expecting this to be a bargain replacement for simpler meeting hardware. The price is premium and, in many setups, you’ll get similar value by buying the “right mix” of **display/speaker + a small controller/NUC-style PC**—especially if you already have decent room audio, a camera, and conferencing licenses sorted. Also, with a 10.1" touchscreen, it’s best thought of as **the hub/control brain**, not the main collaboration screen—so it suits small-to-medium rooms, huddle spaces, or rooms where you’re centralising control rather than driving the entire meeting experience. If your goal is robust room automation/management with minimal fuss, it’s a solid pick; if you mainly want a cheap conferencing appliance, it’s probably too expensive for what it’s aiming to do.
