A Significant Upgrade to the M90n-1 Series

We have dozens of the M90n-1 tiny PC and they have performed well over the last 5 years. We began to replace this this year and found the ThinkCentre M90q Tiny Gen 3 to be a great replacement as well as a significant upgrade. The packaging is more robust and the processing improvement is substantial. I highly recommend this PC.

TINY but powerful desktop replacement

Lacking a dedicated GPU this system is better suited for tasks that don't require moderate to intense graphics however out of the box the unit is able to run three displays via its trio of onboard Display Port ports. Design allows for installation of internal 2.5" SATA drive, as well as second M.2 drive unit. Secondary memory slot allows for expansion up to 40GB total (8+32) without having to replace factory installed memory. System performance is snappy. Included keyboard and mouse are functional, the former is has a squishy feeling owing to its rubber dome switch design.
