Lenovo ThinkCentre Lenovo ThinkCentre M910Q Tiny Desktop Computer, Review

A tiny, refurbished office PC with a great RAM and SSD combo hamstrung by a very old CPU. It scored a 97th percentile for its GPU... which is integrated and weak. Only worth it if you need max RAM in a mini form factor and don't care about CPU speed.

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M910Q Tiny is a refurbished mini PC that's all about packing a surprising amount of office-ready hardware into a box the size of a paperback book. For about $410, you get a 7th-gen Intel Core i7, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, which is a spec sheet that looks great on paper for basic productivity.

The 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD are the stars here, making multitasking and boot times feel snappy for office work. But that Intel Core i7-6700T is old, landing in the 12th percentile for CPU performance in our database. It's fine for web browsing and documents, but don't expect it to handle modern software efficiently. The integrated graphics are a non-starter for anything beyond very casual gaming, despite what the listing might hint at.

At $410, you're paying for the RAM and storage configuration in a tiny case. The CPU is a major weak point for the price, and you can often find newer mini PCs with more efficient, faster 10th or 11th gen Intel chips for similar money. The value is only there if you specifically need 32GB of RAM in this exact tiny form factor right now.

Don't confuse this with a modern mini PC like a Beelink or Minisforum. Those use newer, faster, and more power-efficient CPUs. Compared to them, the M910Q feels dated. Against other refurbished business mini PCs, like a Dell OptiPlex Micro, it competes on RAM but loses on CPU generation. And it's not in the same universe as the gaming desktops listed as 'competitors'—this is for spreadsheets, not Cyberpunk.

Skip this if you need any kind of modern CPU performance for photo editing, coding, or newer software. The old chip will feel sluggish. Also, avoid it if you're wary of refurbished tech—our data shows a higher defect rate here than average. If you want a mini PC for your living room, get one with a newer CPU and WiFi 6.

Buy this only if you need a super compact PC for basic office tasks, you absolutely need 32GB of RAM for light virtualization or massive browser tabs, and you're on a tight budget. It's a niche pick for a very specific need.
