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.

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

Personally, I'm a little more comfortable with the 8700GE Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 5 Tiny. Almost invested in one until finding the 106W MTP of CPU akin to the Core i7 processor 14700T pushed fan service more than I cared for. The 8700GE has similar processing power, RDNA3 Radeon RX 780M integrat

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/@

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

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 5 Tiny 8700GE is currently among the most popular with RDNA3 Radeon RX 780M integrated graphics. Understand that the iGPU shares system memory, and systems with 16GB of 1Rx16 RAM tend to suffer poor graphics performance. This & Windows page filing are the to most over
