ThinkCentre M70q Gen 3 - i3 12100T - 8GB Ram - 256GB SSD - Win11 Pro - Qwerty UK

Introduction

Balancing footprint & performance
A 1L enterprise-level powerhouse with mainstream performance and productivity, the ThinkCentre M70q strikes a perfect balance between performance and footprint. Its powerful 10th Gen Intel Core processor and fast DDR4 memory are ready to start crossing items off your to-do list, with configurable storage options as well. Bundle it with a Tiny-in-One modular display to create your own all-in-one.

Big protection for this Tiny
Lenovo’s ThinkShield security solutions protect your device and data via hardware and software working together. A TPM 2.0 chip encrypts your passwords, while BIOS-based Smart USB Protection prevents unauthorized users from plugging in and accessing your files. The device is also equipped with a Kensington lock slot, enabling you to physically secure it to your desk or other space.

Built & tested for reliability
ThinkCentre PCs are tested against 10 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. From the Arctic wilderness to desert dust storms, from temperature extremes to vibrations and shocks, you can trust your M70q to handle whatever the job throws at it.

Convenient & configurable
The M70q offers remote power-up and supports up to three independent monitors. Four USB ports—one with fast-charging capability–and a host of other ports and options allow plenty of other peripherals. Its slots and add-ons mean you can configure it the way you want, while tool-less access makes it easy to expand and grow with your business.

Fits anywhere—and looks good there
Not much bigger than a paperback book, the M70q is easy to deploy in any location, and its optional ThinkCentre Vertical Stand provides extra stability wherever that may be. Multiple mounting kits are available, or simply leave it on a shelf or a desk, horizontal or vertical. Its modernized, Raven Black chassis will look great wherever you put it.

Sustainable design & usage
The M70q meets multiple global sustainability standards, including Energy Star 8.0, EPEAT Gold, RoHS, and more. It’s certified for low noise emission by TÜV Rheinland, and its high-efficiency adapter makes for low power consumption. It’s also equipped with a dust shield, for added environmental protection and longer life.
