I just bought the ThinkCentre Neo 50q Gen 4 Tiny which the has 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-13420H Processor (E-cores up to 3.40 GHz P-cores up to 4.60 GHz). I am going to use it as a SFF home server. I chatted to a sales rep and he gave me a 3 year onsite warranty for $10 less than the web price.

Seem like a decent price all in all.

  How is a 1 year warranty appropriate? Our government is useless.

    virtual81 on 05/09/2023 - 10:16

    Really??
    What has our government done to cause Lenovo to offer a 1 year voluntary warranty?
    Do you even know how ACL works?

      No, educate a lawyer.

  Hm, the one for $799 has an i3-1215U (i5-13420H is $1149)?

  8GB will be struggling with Chrome & Firefox

  $799 seems like about 4x borderline bargain

  So expensive for such low specs - Is a small form factor really that important?

  Its $769.00 and $919.00 respectively for the 2 systems on the Education Store

  Which is still overpriced and even the Mac Mini M2 costs slightly less, at $795. Home (lab) user can probably make do with a Beelink SER5 PRO and those can be equipped with 8-core 5800H if you want lots of performance cores.

  I think unless you're a business and you're buying a large fleet of these you're unlikely to get very good prices on these systems (even after haggling with rep)

  Or a Beelink?

    objtrim92 on 04/09/2023 - 16:42

    Go Beelink

      Thanks. I just saw scrimshaw's above post.

  I don't think buying a 1215U-based desktop would be a good idea - it's a relatively weak laptop SoC and the CPU is FCBGA packaged (meaning it's not user-upgradable).

    Most of these mini PCs use laptop parts

    • 

      xmagic on 05/09/2023 - 08:22

      Nope. TinyMiniMicros are all desktop platforms. This is first model I see such a machine with a mobile chip.

      You’re talking about < 1L machines. That’s a totally different category.

        On OzB this falls under a mini PC, most of which already posted use laptop parts. I didn't think I had to mention the size
