Lenovo is giving desktop PCs a Copilot+ makeover through the new ThinkCentre neo 55 Gen 6 series, powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors with up to 50 TOPS of NPU capability. The lineup consists of the all-in-one neo 55a, the compact neo 55s, and the ultra-small neo 55q — three distinct forms built to match different business environments. Here’s how they differ in design, expandability, and AI performance.
Design Philosophy: From AIO Elegance to Tiny Efficiency
The ThinkCentre neo 55a Gen 6 stands out for teams seeking a minimalist setup with integrated screen and camera. Its 23.8-inch FHD display runs at 100 Hz with 99% sRGB color, delivering vivid and smooth visuals. The neo 55s Gen 6 retains the classic small form factor for offices that need performance and expansion in one compact box. Finally, the neo 55q Gen 6 takes compactness to the extreme, measuring just 183 mm long and weighing only 1.13 kg—small enough to hide behind a monitor yet powerful enough for AI workloads.
Performance & AI: Ryzen Power Across All Sizes
Each variant runs on AMD Ryzen AI 300 Series processors with integrated NPUs reaching 50 TOPS for smooth, local AI experiences.
The neo 55a handles daily office productivity with up to 32 GB DDR5 RAM and 1 TB SSD, perfect for multitasking and conferencing.
The neo 55s ups the ante with optional discrete GPUs — a 4 GB Radeon RX 6400 or 6 GB GeForce RTX 3050 — ideal for creative and analytical work.
Meanwhile, the neo 55q supports up to 64 GB DDR5 and 2 TB SSD, offering high efficiency in a tiny chassis for data-driven professionals.
Connectivity, Collaboration & Sustainability
The neo 55a leads in collaboration, equipped with Lenovo Smart Meeting Tools that bring AI Noise Suppression and Face & Group Tracking, alongside a privacy eShutter.
The neo 55s caters to power users with Wi-Fi 7, multi-monitor support, and multiple expansion ports.
The neo 55q supports up to three 4K monitors and offers customizable Punch-out Ports for COM, HDMI, VGA, DP, or LAN connections.
Lenovo ensures sustainability across the lineup with up to 85% post-consumer recycled plastics and plastic-free packaging for the Tiny model.
Security and Support for Business Continuity
All models include ThinkShield protection, TPM 2.0 encryption, and Lenovo Vantage software for centralized management. Optional Premier Support Plus ensures 24/7 expert assistance, while CO₂ Offset and Asset Recovery Services promote responsible device lifecycle management.
In short, Lenovo gives every workspace a choice: neo 55a for all-in-one simplicity, neo 55s for expandability, and neo 55q for stealth efficiency. Prices start from $479 to $549 depending on configuration, available via Lenovo.
