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. Initially I planned to use it for light couch gaming with Bazzite, playing games like Giana Sisters Twisted D

When a major PC OEM launches a product, technical & component is in the forefront. Chi-NUC brands only provide the effort given to consumer electronics found @ the corner drugstore. 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 Chi-NUC brands have taken of this "void" in the landscape over the past few years. Bottom line, comes down to budget & long-term expectations. When

There's only a handful of AM5 minis out there: Lenovo's M75q Gen 5, Minisforum's MS-A1 and Asrock's Deskmeet X600, Deskmini X600 and Deskmini X600/USB4. 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'm looking at the spec and 8700G is not there, the only one is 8350G https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkCentre/ThinkCentre_M75q_Gen_5/ThinkCentre_M75q_Gen_5_Spec.pdf These machines have always been pretty strict with the spec so, I gather you've prob found a chip for the SFF version and want t

I spend over 5 months with the same dilemma as you. Needed a minipc with radeon 780m but couldn't trust any of this Chinese suppliers. Found Lenovo m75q gen 5 with the AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 8700GE, which is limited to 35W, meaning low energy consumption, and no concerns about thermals, but still very pow

After a few failed attempts I ended up choosing the GMKtec K8 Plus. Beelink and GMKtec currently seem to be the more popular Chinese NUC brands at the moment. I would have liked a Beelink but they don't offer the 8845HS or Ryzen 7 260, just the cheap Chinese processors. If your budget supports it po

For the best results with PS3/PS4 emulation in BatoceraOS with integrated graphics, one is generally focused on a system with an RDNA3 Radeon RX 780M iGPU + 32GB of memory. As for 5-10 years of longevity, most Chi-NUC brands are questionable beyond 3 considering most like a history beyond that lengt

Does anyone know if there are any significant differences e.g. fan noise, cooling, support, upgradability etc - would love to hear any recommendations or thoughts. The Dell has a better mix of rear IO. The Lenovo has more front IO and a wee bit faster RAM support. Other than those, they are pretty m
