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

I spent 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 powerful m

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

My GEM10 story is somewhat unique. At the beginning of last year, I was running an HP EliteDesk 705 G5 has my daily driver. One account that I support runs proprietary software which which had a running change. To run a portion of the software, they were suggesting the new version be supported by a

With the release of p-core & MTP thermals, Intel mPCs have been a heat dissipation issue. This is in part why Intel dropped the NUC line before ASUS stepped forward to accept licensing. Corporate pushback after the release of 12th gen was immense. In 2025 it's TSMC who has a wide lead in silicon waf
