Lenovo ThinkCentre M90q Gen 6
The 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 265 chip with vPro and a self-encrypting Opal 2.0 SSD packs enterprise security into a 1.34kg mini chassis. Dual DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1, six USB-A ports, and Wi-Fi 6E provide extensive connectivity without a docking station, while the 135W power adapter keeps cabling minimal. This desktop is built for IT administrators deploying secure, space-saving workstations for data-sensitive office tasks, not gaming.
