Lenovo ThinkCentre m920q Tiny good for classroom? (self.techsupport)

Hope this is okay to post here? Not sure which instance i should post it to.

Are these good pcs for classroom use? Basically teachers would just use them for presentations (PowerPoint, Google slides, libreoffice, etc), web browsing, YouTube videos, etc.

Considerations are, speed, ease of use, and future profing.

Anyone have any experience with these machines? Looking at this kind of spec:

Okay thanks. Yeah, the SSDs and 16gb of ram should mitigate speed issues. My main hesitation is the older CPUs in these. They’re not very future-proof and we are going to run windows 11 professional on them. With OS updates i can see them getting sluggish. They should be fine for a few years but can’t see them lasting much longer than 4-5 years. I suppose that’s fine for the price-point though
