Mascom International stocks the used Lenovo ThinkStation P340 with an Intel Core i7 10th Gen processor, 16GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and a 1TB hard drive at KSh 54,000. This unit is the small form factor (SFF) version, a compact workstation case of 8.2 litres. Lenovo lists the Core i7-10700, an eight-core chip, as the i7 option for this SFF model. The two-drive setup puts Windows and your main programs on the quick SSD while photos, projects and archives sit on the roomy 1TB drive. Our store is on the first floor of Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for architects, video editors, developers and content creators, the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 handles the jobs that slow a basic office PC to a crawl. Picture a Kilimani design studio rendering SketchUp scenes, or a Westlands agency cutting YouTube clips while thirty Chrome tabs stay open. A machine with only a hard drive takes minutes to boot and stutters when opening big files. The Lenovo ThinkStation P340 boots from its SSD in moments, and 16GB of memory gives heavy apps room to breathe. A student at JKUAT or Strathmore running MATLAB and AutoCAD side by side will feel the difference daily.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that ship desktops unseen, Mascom International invites you to power on the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 at our counter and run your own files. Buyers throughout Kenya report that they choose us because they can test a used workstation before paying by M-Pesa or cash. Upcountry buyers get pay-on-arrival delivery in all 47 counties, with the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 checked on arrival. Send us a WhatsApp message for current photos of the unit, or visit the shop to set it beside the Xeon version and pick the one that suits your work.
Common Questions About the Lenovo ThinkStation P340
What is the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 16GB price in Kenya?
The used Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 with 16GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and a 1TB hard drive is KSh 54,000 at Mascom International, Nairobi CBD. You get the system unit, a tested power cable and a 6-month hardware warranty, with pay-on-arrival delivery nationwide. It sits KSh 4,000 above the Xeon version, which has 8GB RAM and a single 500GB hard drive. For that KSh 4,000 you gain double the memory, a solid-state boot drive and twice the storage space.
Is the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 a used unit or refurbished?
The Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 at Mascom International is a used unit. Refurbished means a factory or certified workshop restored the machine and replaced worn parts before resale. Used means it reaches you as its first owner kept it, after we test that it powers on and runs. Each one is lightly used internationally in a corporate office and was never deployed locally in Kenya. Case marks, port wear and drive hours differ from unit to unit, so ask on WhatsApp about the one you want.
How does the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 compare with the Dell Precision 3640 i7?
The Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 costs KSh 6,000 more than the Dell Precision 3640 i7 at KSh 48,000, and that money buys faster storage. Both carry a 10th Gen Core i7 and 16GB RAM in our current stock. The Dell Precision 3640 arrives with a 500GB hard drive only, while the P340 adds a 128GB SSD and a 1TB drive. Pick the P340 if quick boot times and more space matter. Pick the Dell Precision 3640 if you want the lower price and plan to add storage later.
How do the SSD and hard drive work together in the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7?
The Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 uses its 128GB SSD for the operating system and programs, and its 1TB hard drive for files. An SSD stores data on chips with no moving parts, so Windows, Office and design apps open in seconds. The hard drive spins a disk, which is slower but holds far more for the price. Keep current projects on the SSD for speed and move finished work to the 1TB drive. That split keeps the system quick for years of use.
Can the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 run AutoCAD, SketchUp or Premiere Pro?
Yes, the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 runs AutoCAD, SketchUp and Premiere Pro for 2D drafting, moderate 3D models and 1080p video editing. The 10th Gen Core i7 and 16GB RAM carry those apps comfortably on the built-in Intel UHD Graphics 630. Large 3D renders and 4K timelines need a separate graphics card, and whether one is fitted varies by unit, so check on WhatsApp. Lenovo lists low-profile NVIDIA cards up to the T1000 for this chassis, so adding one later is straightforward.
Can I connect the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 to Safaricom Home Fibre or Wi-Fi?
The Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 connects to Safaricom Home Fibre, Zuku or any office router through its Gigabit Ethernet port. A wired cable gives the steadiest connection for Zoom calls, cloud backups and large uploads. Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.1 was an optional Lenovo extra, so many business units have no wireless card. Ask on WhatsApp whether your unit has one; if not, a USB Wi-Fi adapter from Mascom International works with Airtel Kenya, Telkom and Safaricom hotspots and routers.
Can the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 run two monitors?
Yes, the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 runs two monitors from its two rear DisplayPort outputs, without any extra graphics card. A dual-screen setup lets an editor keep the timeline on one display and the preview on the other. Accountants can place a ledger beside a bank statement, and developers can code beside a browser. Most Kenyan office monitors use HDMI or VGA, so you may need a DisplayPort adapter or cable. Mascom International stocks both monitors and adapters at the Kimathi Street shop.
Who should buy the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7, and who should skip it?
Buy the Lenovo ThinkStation P340 i7 if you edit video, draft in CAD, write code or keep many heavy apps open together. Skip it if your work is email, browsing and Word, because a Lenovo ThinkCentre M720s at KSh 32,000 covers that well. Buyers who need error-correcting ECC memory for long overnight jobs should take the Xeon version at KSh 50,000 instead. Anyone needing a big desktop GPU for 3D gaming should know this compact case only fits low-profile cards.
Technical Specifications
Processor Performance
- Intel Core i7 10th Gen processor — fast enough for video editing, CAD drafting and coding with many apps running.

Storage Drives

- 1TB hard drive for files — space for about 330,000 photos at 3MB each or 128 hours of 1080p video.
- Two onboard M.2 slots — swap in a larger solid-state drive later as your project library grows.
- One 3.5-inch bay and one 2.5-inch bay — the two drives use standard bays you can replace cheaply.
- Up to four M.2 SSDs with an M.2-to-PCIe adapter card — a path to a fast, large-capacity project store.
Graphics Output
- Intel UHD Graphics 630 built into the Core i7 — handles HD video playback, 2D CAD and photo editing.
- Two rear DisplayPort outputs — drive two monitors at once straight from the motherboard with no extra card.
- Whether a separate graphics card is fitted varies by unit — ask on WhatsApp before ordering for 3D work.
- Low-profile NVIDIA cards supported, from the Quadro P400 to the T1000 — options to add later for rendering.
- Room for one NVIDIA T1000 or two T600 cards — Lenovo's stated limit for this compact chassis.

- Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 front ports — quick transfers from cameras and drives.

- Optional Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 with Bluetooth 5.1 — fitted on some units only, so confirm before you order.
Chassis and Security
- Small form factor case of 8.2 litres — takes far less desk space than a standard full-size tower.
- Measures 92.5 x 309.7 x 339.5 mm and weighs up to 5.65 kg — easy to carry between desks.
- 310W or 380W power supply rated 80 PLUS Platinum — efficient power use that keeps heat and electricity bills down.
- Three low-profile PCIe 3.0 slots — space for a graphics card, extra network card or USB expansion card.
- Discrete TPM 2.0 chip and Kensington lock slot — protects encrypted data and lets you cable-lock the unit to a desk.
