Lenovo Thinkcentre - Tiny PC

Lenovo's ThinkCentre M720q Tiny is a low-lying small-form-factor PC kitted out for the business set. It packs an 8th Generation Intel Core i3 desktop processor inside a compact chassis for space-constrained offices and cubicles. And once it's tucked out of the way, you'll hardly know it's there; the M720q operates in near silence. Its support for multiple monitors and a host of security features, and the ThinkCentre M720q Tiny is a good bet for businesses that prioritize trim dimensions and office acoustics over upgradability.

Book-Size Muscle

The ThinkCentre M720q Tiny comes clad in matte black with a couple of red accents: a rectangular Lenovo badge on the front panel, and a red dot in the "i" in "ThinkCentre" that illuminates when you power on. With its sturdy metal chassis, it should be able to take any reasonable office abuse you throw at it.

The M720q Tiny is about the size of a hardcover book. It measures 1.4 by 7 by 7.2 inches (HWD). It'll take up next to no room on your desk.

Despite its small size, the M720 Tiny really packs in the ports. On the front, you'll find two USB 3.1 ports (one Type-A and the other Type-C), along with separate headphone and microphone jacks. I appreciated the comprehensive mix on the small front panel. Having both types of USB ports will save you from needing to dig up a dongle from the back of your junk drawer to connect.

On back, you get full-size DisplayPort and HDMI outputs, an Ethernet jack, and four straight-up USB Type-A ports. Of the USB ports on the back, two are USB 3.1 Gen1 and two are USB 3.1 Gen2, the latter for double the transfer speed with compliant hardware.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Lenovo's ThinkCentre M720q Tiny is a well-rounded, capable Small Form Factor PC suitable for cramped offices or other space-constrained work environs.
