HELLO THERE.

I bring EVEN more tiny PCs that can fit in your pocket. We have some excess, and want to get rid of them. We also have the lovely M700 i5-6400T | 8GB | 128GB desktops for $169!!!! Similar to the previous Dell 3020M, these Lenovo's come with 8GB ram and 128GB SSD. The CPU (i5-4570T) is a dual core / 4 thread processor, hence the price difference compared to the 3020M , however is more than fine for a basic office/home use PC, or mini server! Each will come with a WIFI 300mbps as they unfortunately did not come with WiFi dongles installed. All the specs are down below with some upgrades available. 1 year warranty on all plus cables included ( power adapter). Click and collect is available from our Yarraville, Melbourne 3013 warehouse. Both Courier and Parcel/Express post is available as well as Click and Collect ( Shipping should be cheap as they are quite small!). Allow 7 days processing to get these orders out.

          Depends on the transcoding you need. You may want to step up to the Intel 6th gen variant as I believe that supports quicksync that is important for transcoding. It also depends on what you transcode to and from. Also if you run HA in a VM like the recommendation from madpig83 you will want to pass any USB Zigbee and Zwave stick you want to use to the VM. It may or may not be that easy to do.

          I ran HA as a VM, I ran it as a docker, and eventually, I got a Dell Wyze 5060 to run HA on it by itself. This is 2 times as powerful as the Dell Wyze so you could easily use this as a HA server, but to put a media server on it too… it depends.

        This is literally the worst for network storage. Get any random junk case and put some hard drives and old pc gear inside if you want a cheap nas.

        • r0nmac on 12/08/2022 - 22:16

          NAS running 24x365.
          10 Watts idle vs 100+ Watts idle for old PC. You do the math

          • misu p on 13/08/2022 - 13:31

            @r0nmac: I call bullshit on that, I got 100+ watts consumption with dual 135w xeon CPUs, 6 disks, 10 dockers containers and 2 VMs running. That setup would not compare with any NAS as a file server while providing a lot more while costing the same (and like you said consuming more).

            Regarding the consumption, I bet over 10 years I can build a NAS pc that will in the end cost less than your NAS (consumption included of course). I bet I can find a free PC (and I did before) on the street that would be more powerful than your NAS and it would still support 6 SATA drives.

            Source: I have a power meter, I calculated all of this, I did move from a totally overpowered 2 x e2690 to a i7-7700 and I know the difference. The i7 consumes 50W with some load (again 10+ docker containers, some plex streaming, DBs, and misc other things), which makes your 100W+ idle not a valid argument.

    • Synticulous on 12/08/2022 - 19:26
      +1

      This? Comments above already use this as a plex server, DLNA server, etc.

      It's more a question of how you're going to setup and connect your storage to this device as it's physically only so many USB ports, one SATA port and one mini pcie connection (yes there's.. adapters to turn that SATA and mini into as many PCIE devices as your lanes can support but ick) which you might be better off attaching a self-sourced wifi card to anyway.

    • MattyWylde on 12/08/2022 - 19:44

      It's not ideal for network storage due to limitations of physical connections you have access to…

    • Void on 12/08/2022 - 19:44

      Could build your own NAS in a cube case. $100 for a Haswell CPU + MB + RAM combo on eBay, another $70 for the case, and $70 for the power supply.

      Double the price of this but you get hard drive capability and modularity.

        Thanks

      • flashi007 on 12/08/2022 - 19:54

        Can you link we an appropriate haswell cpu

        • Void on 12/08/2022 - 20:07

          Just about anything will do for a file server.

          Something like this is what I was describing.

          Also check local Facebook Marketplace/Gumtree for potentially better prices.

  • Void on 12/08/2022 - 19:14

      This with Dockers

      • Void on 12/08/2022 - 19:47

        That's what I thought, just a little concerned about power consumption but it's probably like a 5W difference.

        Might be cool to run a Proxmox cluster with them.

        • r0nmac on 12/08/2022 - 22:18

          I used to have this. It's about 10 Watts idle. Pi4 is not too different.

            -1

            @r0nmac: on the internet most references I can find indicates Pi4 idles at about 4-5W. 10W vs 5W is not negligible for everyone.

    • scrimshaw on 12/08/2022 - 19:31

      Windows 10 license key can be found using various software. Or you can run the command in command prompt

      wmic path softwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey

      or in Powershell

      powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey"

      plus Microsoft's servers are smart enough to recognize the OS being reinstalled on the same machine. If you nuke the drive and reinstall Windows on any PC, you'll find that the activation is automatic — user doesn't need to do anything.

    • freddofrog42 on 12/08/2022 - 19:36
      +6

      The license will be tied to the device - a new SSD etc will simply be seen as a new drive and will assume the existing license.

    • ReaperX22 on 12/08/2022 - 20:54
      +1

      Probably..? Technically a 8gb stick is probably cheaper to buy solo but these come with 2*4gb sticks right? So you'd need to replace both yourself making it more expensive whereas they'll swap out for you.

      (not a rep. The store rep might be able to confirm)

    • mskeggs on 12/08/2022 - 20:57

      I would.

    • 16k-zx81 on 13/08/2022 - 08:28

      That would depend on whether you are capping out 8 GB in your usecase. If you are, and you note a performance issue because of it, then yes. If you aren't, then there's no benefit for spending the money. 8gb is fine for a lot of normal desktop /study / office computing. There are more specific scenarios that benefit from more ram.

      Would you go one of these M93P Tiny (for $130 plus upgrades) or an Elitedesk 800 G2 (based on previous pricing for probably double)?

      I’ve got a SBC with a big hdd for media storage (Odroid HC2 + 18TB) but as I add things to the server the CPU is struggling and things are starting to slow down… Plus the Ordroid is 32-bit so support is starting to dry up.

      I’m thinking the solution might be to get a tiny desktop like this deal to run all the containers and take the pressure off the NAS, but wonder if it’s good value or I’m better spending a little more?

    Soooo I bought some ram and ssd on sale recently to upgrade my parents itx build to an Intel i3/i5 nuc. But nuc would be brand new 11th gen and cost 450-600 bucks…(not yet bought)

    The M700 tiny is probably faster than the i3 nuc and like a 3rd the price. Unsure re i5 11th gen though and this

    Should I return the unopened ssd/ram to Amazon and buy the M700 tiny for my parents??

    Their build is an aging 3570 i5 4gb ram mini itx build but it's custom so needs dusting and cleaning here and there (by me of course).. These are low/no maintenance similar to an Intel nuc.. But the idea behind the nuc is they're pretty bullet proof and will last them a long time. Emails and web browsing is the use case. It's been several years on the current machine.

    Worth buying brand new vs the M700?? (6th gen)

    Gimme Ya thoughts peeps.

    • ReaperX22 on 12/08/2022 - 21:21

      Ended up biting the bullet after all on the M700 Tiny.. Such a great deal. I suggest anyone else go for the 6400T as well IMO. True quad core instead of 2 core 4 thread. Being newer helps too for longevity (in theory).

      For the price of this.. In a few years time. The 8-10th gen equivs will be around and probably similar price. Combined probably still cheaper than a brand new Intel Nuc!

      • kevlam3 on 12/08/2022 - 21:38

        I bought NUC i5 10th gen for my dad as his daily, not sure but first unit had sleep issue, everytime it goes to sleep it crash windows and has to hard restart. Reinstalled windows and same issue. Contacted the seller they RMA it and refunded without question.
        Ended up buying another one from another seller, not quite similar issue, but once in a while after sleep, when waking it up it would give system overheated warning, even though the case is sitting on a desk. Been googling around, but can't seem to find an exact cause for this issue. Some says it's related to the new windows modern standby mode.
        Anyone else had same experience?

    • desync on 12/08/2022 - 22:50

      for a desktop? sweet spot value is an optiplex usff with intels 6 core 8500T, can find them for around $350

      for a htpc a firestick 4k is definitely the way to go

    • elusive on 13/08/2022 - 01:28

      The M700 tiny is probably faster than the i3 nuc

      Possibly not. The 11th gen i3 in question does have some architectural improvements and a much higher boost clock, with the end result being significantly higher single thread and slightly higher multithread perf as per passmark: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-6400T-vs-Intel…

      That said, the M700 definitely wins on price, so there's that. And the lower price sets you up will for a better upgrade in a couple years. I wouldn't get brand new 11th gen now anyway, 12th gen is a huge step up - 11th is past its prime and better left for sales/reburbs in a few years.

      • ReaperX22 on 13/08/2022 - 09:35

        Yeah price really won out here. Less than a 3rd total cost for 80-90% of the performance. More usb ports and rear audio jacks are a bonus. Will suit just fine for a glorified office machine.

        • Psygnosis on 14/08/2022 - 18:49

          Did you upgrade to 16gb or leave it as 8gb?

          • ReaperX22 on 14/08/2022 - 20:07

            @Psygnosis: Left it at 8 personally. Web, mail occasionally YouTube? 8 is enough. Their current is 4gb anyway (never had any issues) so it's an upgrade regardless!

            However, if I was buying for myself for whatever purpose I probably would've upped to 16gb. Really use case dependant. I KNOW they don't need 16gb. I don't know whether I might in the future! (again not buying for me but this is my thought process!)

      Not sure if the device in OP's post has the same BIOS, but I've just checked my M93P BIOS:
      * TPM - No, I was not able to locate it in the BIOS (checked all the (sub)menus).
      * VT-d - Yes, I was able to locate it in the BIOS and had the option to Enable/Disable.

        RX8, I'm looking at a i5 8500t through these guys. Was your experience good?

          Yeah it was fine, I came across them on ebay but found it a bit cheaper directly from their site so ordered there. Although if there is an ebay discount code maybe its cheaper to get it that way.

          Everything arrived as advertised and without issues, so I would recommend. Happy with what I got for the price thats for sure.

          However since I had no problems I cant really comment what their support is like if you do have an issue. You're buying 2nd hand refurbished gear, so theres a bit of risk there. But their warranty sounds pretty standard and I doubt they'd be any different to other online retailers dealing with returns.

      This.

    would this work ideally for freenas?

      Yep. Perfect as long as you don't need a lot of drives, and don't mind running USB if or when you want to expand storage. One big benefit is relatively low power draw

        if used as a nas, how many hard drives (SATA) can I use with this?

        • allewell on 13/08/2022 - 18:52

          Out of the box you've got 1 internal SATA 6Gbps. Then you've got 5 USB 3.0 for external (5Gbps each)

    Hey Rep… trying to purchase w 16gb ram and 256gb ssd. Kept on reverting back to the basic 8g + 128; are you out of stock for the upgrades?

  • PurchaseAnxiety on 12/08/2022 - 22:45

    Hey OP. Bought one of these the other day for $155, and I believe it’s yet to ship. Any chance I could get the difference refunded? Or happy to have my order cancelled and re-order if that’s easier.

    Win11 on a intel 6th gen i5?

    • ReaperX22 on 12/08/2022 - 23:00

      Are you asking if it supports it..? I believe yes plus per the listing should come with win11 pre installed. Lenovo supports it.

      For a basic machine the i5 6th is plenty IMO. That's what I'm getting for my parents! Web/mail machine.

    Hi op, any more t480s touch coming? Or any x1 variants by any chance?

    RE M700:
    Can anyone vouch for the fan noise of these things? And does the BIOS support any undervolting / lower wattage? For the purpose I have in mind, raw power isn't essential but I want it to run as close to silent as possible. CPU usage should be 25-50% pretty much 24/7

      My daughter has one of the previous i5 deals for her schoolwork. It's so quiet I can't tell if it's running while I'm in her room. I have to check the light because she leaves it on 24/7 otherwise. Never bothered trying to undervolt this. Had to reseat the RAM once. No other issues.

        That's all I needed to know. Thank you 👍
