While basic, these are two very good business input devices. The buttons provide excellent feedback, and the center scroll wheel clicks perceptibly in increments as it rotates. Meanwhile, the mouse tracks well and slides comfortably across a desk both with and without a mousepad. As with most standard office keyboards, it features fold-out feet to optionally prop up the back of the keyboard for a more ergonomic angle. Key travel and feedback are both very good, and typing is relatively quiet.

The Lenovo keyboard features a standard width with full 10-key number pad on the right side. The included (corded) input devices are nothing terribly unique, but they are at the very least extremely comfortable and superior to those packed in with competitors such as Dell OptiPlex machines. Overall, maintenance isn’t terrible, though, and for the most part, the easy access to the RAM and the second drive bay probably cover most of what will normally be necessary.
However, if additional maintenance is required, the internal computer cover must also be removed, which involves the careful disengagement of multiple plastics clips along with a couple of screws, followed by the removal of the system board shield, which is secured by a number of other screws. Beneath it, you’ll find both the hard drive bay and the RAM (our machine came with an NVMe SSD installed in the interior PCIe M.2 slot, so the hard drive bay was actually empty, awaiting a storage drive if desired). One of the biggest criticisms historically of AIO desktops has been the accessibility of internal parts-but, at least in terms of the hard drive and RAM access, the M910z makes it easy: simply place the system face down on a safe surface, slide the release latch upward to release and remove the stand from the rear, and press down and slide on the back cover to remove it. Maintenance is relatively simple for an all-in-one.
