The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s with an Intel Core i5 9th Gen processor, 8GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 32,000. It is a used business desktop from Lenovo's ThinkCentre range, built in a small form factor (SFF) case of about 8.4 litres. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s supports 8th and 9th Gen Intel chips, and this stock carries the 9th Gen Core i5. Lenovo's reference i5-9400 configuration has six cores, plenty for office multitasking. See it running at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Built for accountants, SACCO clerks, school bursars and small business owners across Kenya, the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s covers the daily load of a working office. It runs QuickBooks, Excel and Sage, keeps Gmail and WhatsApp Web open, and handles KRA iTax returns and eCitizen bookings without lag. Older dual-core office PCs often freeze when several of these run at once. The six-core Core i5 and 8GB of memory share the work so the system stays responsive. Its slim case stands upright beside a monitor, which helps in tight shop counters on Moi Avenue or crowded reception desks in Upper Hill.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell used desktops with no testing and no warranty, Mascom International checks each Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s and backs it with six months of hardware cover. At Mascom International, we're seeing more small offices replace old tower PCs with compact units like this one to free up desk space. You can test the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s at our Kimathi Street store, or order with pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. WhatsApp us for photos of the exact unit and to confirm which accessories come with it.
Common Questions About the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s
How much is the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s i5 9th Gen in Kenya?
The used Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s i5 9th Gen with 8GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive costs KSh 32,000 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. The price includes the system unit, a tested power cable and a 6-month warranty on hardware functionality. You pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya, so you check the unit before handing over cash or M-Pesa. Keyboard, mouse and monitor are not promised, so confirm what comes with your unit on WhatsApp first.
Is this Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s used or refurbished, and what is the difference?
This Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s is used, not refurbished. A refurbished computer has been restored by its maker or a certified workshop, usually with worn parts swapped out. A used computer is sold as its previous owner kept it, after Mascom International tests that it boots and runs. Each unit is a carefully maintained international import, in clean used condition and never deployed locally in Kenya. Ports, case marks and drive health vary between units, so confirm your unit on WhatsApp before buying.
Should I buy the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s or the Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s-1?
Choose the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s if you prefer an Intel processor and the newer of the two chip generations in our stock. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M75s-1 costs KSh 3,000 less at KSh 29,000 and uses an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO chip with Radeon graphics. Both come with 8GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive in a compact case. Pick the M720s for Intel-only office software or matching an Intel fleet. Pick the M75s-1 for light photo editing on a tighter budget.
Can the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s run Windows 11?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s meets two key Windows 11 checks, with a 9th Gen Intel processor and a discrete TPM 2.0 security chip. The operating system installed on each used unit varies, so confirm it on WhatsApp before you order. Mascom International does not promise a Windows licence with this desktop. If you need a genuine licence for office audits or Microsoft 365, ask us about Windows keys sold separately at the store. That way the unit arrives ready for your team's daily work.
Does the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s handle KPLC blackouts and dusty offices?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s handles KPLC blackouts safely when you run it through a UPS, which gives you minutes to save and shut down. Without one, a sudden cut can corrupt open Excel or QuickBooks files on any desktop. Its 210W power supply draws modest power, so a small office UPS carries it well. In dusty areas like Industrial Area or Eldoret, keep the case off the floor and blow out its vents every few months. Mascom International stocks UPS units for this setup.
Can I connect two monitors to the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s?
Yes, the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s runs two monitors from its two rear DisplayPort outputs, and it also has a VGA port. That suits a cashier who wants the till on one display and stock records on another. Many older Kenyan office monitors still use VGA, which plugs straight in with no adapter. HDMI-only screens need a DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable. The built-in Intel UHD Graphics 630 handles office work and HD video across the screens without a separate card.
Is the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s good for a cyber café or M-Pesa shop?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s suits a cyber café or M-Pesa agent shop that needs reliable browsing, printing and form filling all day. It handles eCitizen, KRA iTax, HELB and KUCCPS portals plus document printing and scanning without strain. Four rear USB 2.0 ports and five front USB ports leave room for a printer, a scanner and customers' flash drives. The serial port on the back also connects older receipt printers. Its small case fits neatly under a counter.
Who should buy the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s, and who should skip it?
Buy the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s if you run accounts, office software, browsing and video calls and want a six-core Intel desktop for KSh 32,000. Skip it if you edit video or work in 3D CAD; the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 at KSh 54,000 has 16GB RAM and an SSD for that. Skip it too if your budget stops near KSh 20,000, where the Lenovo V530s at KSh 19,000 covers basic typing and browsing. Gamers need a full-size graphics card this case cannot hold.
