Lenovo ThinkServer TS200v Pro Reviews

The Lenovo ThinkServer is an small business bargain. For those who have little experience managing servers, prefer to work in a Windows environment, and have light server needs—it's a great choice. The ThinkServer is brawnier and better equipped for a slightly larger network than the Mac mini server. The caveat: even though the ThinkServer comes with the relatively simple Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation, it still requires some Windows server knowledge. The average user can set up the Mac mini in minutes, and that's a convenience feature that can't be beat. Still, if you've got a little bit of experience with Windows Server (or don't mind learning a bit about it) the Lenovo ThinkServer TS200v hits a price vs. performance sweet spot for the small businesses, and that makes it well worth our Editors' Choice for mid-level small business (SMB) servers.
