ThinkCentre M75q Gen 5 Tiny

Probably a bit unusual setup, so I just wanted to share and ask if anyone else is doing something similar. I got myself a Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 5 with Ryzen 7 Pro 8700GE + Radeon 780M.

From decades of PC experience, any branded product which doesn't require official registration for warranty has an exc

Basically, you're 100% correct. ASRock, ASUS & MSI are among the few who use mobile, non-socketed mPCs builds, with prices which reflect the market.

The Deskmeet has a x16 PCIe slot and is really more of an SFF unit at 8L. The Deskmini X600/USB4 has USB4 replacing the VGA of the X600 at the back

I have a Lenovo m75q gen 5 with the Ryzen 7 PRO 8700GE and the Radeon 780m. Pretty solid pick with the best service one could ask for a minipc manufacturer. If you are really on a tight budget, there are some used pcs you can also buy and add a single slot gpu to it. Check: https://www.youtube.com/@
