Small but mighty: Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Tiny
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Tiny proves that a business desktop doesn't have to be large to perform impressively. With a volume of just 1 liter – smaller than a paperback book – this ultra-compact PC is the perfect solution for modern, clutter-free workspaces. Powered by the reliable Intel Core i3-10100T processor, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a fast 256 GB M.2 PCIe SSD, the M70q delivers all the power you need for daily office work, administration, education, and home use. Space-saving, energy-efficient, and surprisingly affordable – without compromising on Lenovo's renowned ThinkCentre quality.
Intel Core i3-10100T: Efficient 10th Gen power
The beating heart of this ThinkCentre is the Intel Core i3-10100T processor from Intel's 10th Gen Comet Lake family. With 4 cores and 8 threads, this processor delivers surprisingly mature performance for daily business tasks. The base clock speed of 3.00 GHz automatically scales up to 3.80 GHz via Intel Turbo Boost Technology when extra power is needed. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, tasks are efficiently distributed across the available threads, resulting in smooth multitasking and fast application response. With a TDP of just 35 Watts, the processor stays cool and energy-efficient, keeping the M70q whisper-quiet – ideal for open office environments, receptions, or home offices.
8 GB DDR4-2666 RAM: Sufficient for daily productivity
Equipped with 8 GB of DDR4-SDRAM at 2666 MHz, the M70q provides ample memory for the modern professional's daily tasks. Open multiple Office 365 applications, browsers with dozens of tabs, email, and video conferencing via Teams or Zoom – all simultaneously and without lag. 8 GB is the trusted standard for office automation, administration, education, and customer contact applications. The DDR4 memory is more energy-efficient than previous generations and perfectly matched to the Comet Lake processor. Should you need more capacity in the future, the memory is expandable in most configurations.
Blazing-fast 256 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD storage
With the 256 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, you'll experience the difference solid-state storage makes. Boot Windows in seconds and launch applications almost instantly – no more waiting. The 256 GB provides sufficient space for your operating system, a complete set of office applications, and your most important documents and project files. PCIe technology delivers transfer speeds up to 4x faster than traditional SATA SSDs. With no moving parts, the SSD is completely silent, energy-efficient, and more resistant to bumps and vibrations – an advantage in any environment.
Ultra-compact 1-liter design: fits anywhere
The ThinkCentre M70q Tiny is a marvel of engineering. Measuring just 179 x 182.9 x 34.5 mm (approximately 1 liter in volume), this PC fits literally anywhere. Mount it behind virtually any monitor using the included VESA bracket for a completely clean, cable-free workspace. Place it vertically or horizontally on the smallest desk, in a bookshelf, or behind a reception counter. The minimalist matte black design looks professional in any environment. Despite its compact size, the chassis is built to Lenovo's strict durability standards – designed for years of reliable use.

Why buy refurbished at IBO Computers?
Every device we sell is fully inspected and tested: hardware, battery, display and ports. If something does not perform as it should, we replace the part or the device does not leave our workshop. Cosmetically there may be light traces of use, in line with a business machine starting its second life.
That means you pay considerably less than the price of a new device while getting the same business-grade quality. You also choose the reuse of high-quality IT equipment, which saves a substantial amount of raw materials and CO₂ compared to buying new.
Warranty, delivery and support
Warranty is included as standard, and the matching power adapter comes with the device. Order before 16:00 on a working day and your order ships the same day. If you have a question after your purchase, our own technical department helps you out — we repair in house, down to component level.
