ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 Tiny Desktop

Definitely do not go for Aoostar or lesser quality brands. If your main worry is 24/7 reliability, I’d stop thinking in terms of “which one box is perfect?” and start thinking in terms of nodes in a cluster. The Beelink SER5 Max gives you a stronger iGPU and more RAM out of the box (6800H + 32 GB DD

Is this AI? I think everything you posted is just plain wrong. Running Immich on an 10600T here with the latest Immich version. Quicksync with the iGPU just works, no issues here. And 900W for a micro PC is just ridiculous. My two Lenovo m70q are idling happily with about 6W of power draw.

A retired friend of mine bought a ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5 12TD001KUS Tiny new through the county school system earlier this year for a little over $500. Looks similar to yours with the exception of a 512GB SSD and a single 16GB stick of RAM (something she didn't know when she bought it). I helped her

I would expect only one of those lenovos to have a pci-e slot, The red tag one. The others are likely m70q but hard to tell as cant see the tops of the cases to see if they have heat grills which would then indicate m90q, which would have the slot plus two nvme slots. The m70q (if that's what they a

We ran into issues with this dogshit model, too. Upgraded thousands of other Lenovo, HP, and Dell endpoints and had zero issues. M70q goes to BSOD on reboot and our techs have to manually touch them to fix them.

Sadly you're buying in worst possible time, even used equipment is horribly expensive. I just got a Lenovo m70q gen5 for £280, but I only need nvme slots, also bought pre ai apocalypse. An n100 is probably fine. My existing server runs Ubuntu server and needs less than 8gb ram. The internal intel vi

Les meilleurs plan que j'ai trouvé c'était soit les NUC-like (dont le Beelink oui), soit les mini-PC d'entreprise reconditionnés (Lenovo Thinkcentre, HP ProDesk/Elitedesk, Dell Optiplex Mini...). Ces derniers sont théoriquement plus durables mais ont des composants moins modernes à prix égal. J'ai f

i've been down this road with the whole n100 vs used tiny pc thing. what helped me was grabbing an Intel NUC 11 with Core i5 when prices dropped. the quick sync on 11th gen handles 4k hdr transcoding without breaking a sweat and you get dual channel ram. for under 300 eur look for used Lenovo ThinkC

Your bottleneck isn't network or storage — it's transcoding. The Pi 4 doesn't have hardware video acceleration that Plex can use, so when a mobile client can't direct-play (mismatched codec, screen size, bandwidth limit), the Pi software-transcodes and 4 cores aren't enough. That's why "optimize for
