Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £2,033.87 ex-VAT, the Lenovo ThinkSmart Hub feels like the “managed meeting room” option rather than a generic office PC. It’s solid if you’re standardising across sites and want something that’s designed for video-calls, with a clean touchscreen interaction for control and light room workflows. The fact it ships with Windows 11 IoT Enterprise is a tell: this is meant for IT departments that care about locked-down management and fewer surprises, not for a DIY setup.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this just because it’s an i5 “all‑in‑one” touch device. In many deployments, you can get similar day-to-day computing value cheaper, and then spend the money on the right videoconferencing kit (camera/mics/speakers) and proper room acoustics/networking. If you don’t have a clear use case for the Hub’s role in the meeting stack, or you’re not going to integrate it into your device management and room standards, it’s likely to be overkill for the cost. I’d recommend it for mid-to-enterprise businesses rolling out consistent meeting rooms—especially where central IT control matters—while being cautious for small offices or one-off installs.
