Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2 + IP Certified Room Kit for Microsoft Teams Rooms (12WE000NUS)
The Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2 + IP Certified Room Kit for Microsoft Teams Rooms is a Windows-based room compute and control bundle for Microsoft Teams Rooms. Its Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of memory, Lenovo IP Controller, and Link Box provide the central processing and room-control foundation for a professionally integrated meeting space.
It is a strong fit for small, medium, and large conference rooms when paired with appropriate certified cameras, microphones, speakers, and displays, with medium and large rooms being particularly well suited to the compute-and-controller configuration. The modular design gives you flexibility to select the AV equipment that matches the room, but those cameras, microphones, speakers, and displays are not included and must be planned separately.

Licensing, Warranty & Support
Plan for a Microsoft Teams Rooms license for deployment. Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic is available at no additional charge for certified Teams Rooms systems, subject to Microsoft's current limits. Teams Rooms Pro is a paid option listed at $40.00 per room per month when paid yearly. The hardware purchase does not establish that either license is included. ThinkSmart Manager is preloaded, and ThinkSmart Manager Premium is described as included for one year; continued service may require an additional charge. The base warranty is a 3-year limited onsite service warranty. Lenovo also describes Premier Support, Deploy, and Maintain services for three years, but the exact inclusion of those upgraded services should be confirmed for the order. Camera, microphone, speaker, and display selection, along with any required third-party room licenses, remain part of the overall system plan.
VideoConferenceGear.com Assistance
We can help validate whether this compute-and-control bundle fits your room, select the required camera, microphones, speakers, displays, accessories, and Teams Rooms licensing, and confirm the connections and coverage needed for deployment. We can also coordinate installation, multi-location rollout, and ongoing support for your Teams Rooms environment.
Common Questions
Does this kit include a camera, microphone, speaker, or display?
No. This is a modular compute-and-control kit, so the camera, microphone, speaker, and room display must be selected separately. That approach lets you match the AV system to the room, but those components need to be included in the project design.
Which controller is included?
The kit includes the Lenovo IP Controller, not a separate ThinkSmart Controller. It has a 10.1-inch touchscreen with 1280 x 800 resolution, 10-point touch, anti-glare and anti-fingerprint treatment, and 30° or 60° rotation.
What room sizes can use this system?
It can support small, medium, and large conference rooms when paired with appropriate certified AV peripherals, with the compute-and-controller bundle especially suited to medium and large room deployments. The camera, microphone, speaker, and display determine the practical room coverage.
What Microsoft Teams Rooms license is needed?
Microsoft Teams Rooms Basic is available at no additional charge for certified systems, subject to Microsoft's current limits. Teams Rooms Pro is a paid alternative listed at $40.00 per room per month when paid yearly. Confirm which license your organization needs and whether it will be purchased separately from the hardware.
Does the system support BYOD or BYOM?
BYOD or BYOM should be confirmed for the exact configuration because USB-C ingest is optional. The capability depends on the selected configuration and included cabling rather than being guaranteed by the room-compute platform alone.
