Lenovo IdeaCentre 01Q8X10 Snapdragon X1-26-100 32GB RAM 512GB SSD Windows 11 Home Copilot+ Mini PC

A Copilot+ PC for under £380 is not something you see often, and what makes this Lenovo IdeaCentre genuinely interesting is the silicon inside it. The Qualcomm Snapdragon X1-26-100 is the same ARM-based architecture found in premium laptops that launched at over a grand, bringing on-device AI processing, strong multi-core efficiency, and notably low power draw to a compact desktop form factor. If you're running a home office setup and your electricity bill is quietly annoying you, a machine that sips power rather than gulps it is worth taking seriously.

Who Is This For?

This suits remote workers, students, and small business owners who need a capable daily driver for productivity — document editing, video calls, light creative work, and browser-heavy workflows — without the bulk or running costs of a traditional desktop. The 32GB of RAM is a genuine differentiator at this price point and means you won't be choking on Chrome tabs. That said, if you rely on specialist Windows software with no ARM-native version, compatibility issues with emulation can still bite you, so check your critical applications before committing. Gamers should look elsewhere entirely.

What Buyers Say

Owners of Snapdragon X-series mini PCs consistently praise the near-silent operation and the surprisingly snappy feel for everyday tasks, with the 32GB RAM configuration drawing particular appreciation from those who run multiple applications simultaneously. The most common frustration centres on ARM compatibility — certain legacy or niche Windows applications either run sluggishly under emulation or refuse to run at all, which catches buyers off guard if they haven't done their homework beforehand.

The Deal

At £379.99, you're saving £519.01 against the listed was-price of £899, but the more meaningful comparison comes from the verified price history: this model's lowest recorded price was £459.99, which means today's figure undercuts even that previous low by a clear £80. The average tracked price sits at £477.26, so this isn't a manufactured discount dressed up with an inflated RRP. For a Copilot+ machine with 32GB RAM, that's a rare moment worth acting on — check our best computing deals UK guide if you want to compare before you buy.
