Hi
No fancy discount codes here guys. Pricing dropped until allocated stock sold out.
Lenovo Tiny M93p
Core i5 4590t 2.0Ghz (4C4T)
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
Wifi
Windows 10
CamelCamelCamel.
How does the licensing work if I were to format the hdd or replace with new hdd?
Windows 10 stores PC's "fingerprint" & digital entitlement on Microsoft activation server and optionally ties it to your Microsoft Account. Reactivation is by checking the fingerprint with the server.
Cool. so does fingerprints change with replacement hdd?
Was about to edit this in when your replied. The fingerprint does not vary with storage devices. You can reinstall Windows 10, format and upgrade your storage freely.
I believe the license is linked directly to the like of hp and dell bios. There is a short code in the bios just for that. Windows will check that string to activate the license.
How would this thing run basic tasks like word processing, PDFs, Excels etc? I usually have a mix of dozen of them open at once for work purposes.
Need something for days when i work from home so i don't need to lug the laptop around. All files stores on the cloud.
Way more than enough for those activities.
These are more than adequate for word PDF Excel and basic web browsing with 8GB ram. If you chuck in a SSD then it flies very well
No need. It comes with a SSD.
This is an i5-4590t - which is not hugely different from the i5-4950 which was a very common gaming CPU in about 2014-15. It will perform as well as a mid level office desktop computer from a few years ago. This doesn't and can't have a dedicated video card, but for everything CPU related it will perform quite well.
Showing as OOS but I've added another 50 units, so it should update shortly.
It shows as "Currently Unavailable" but shows another seller "Australian Conputer traders" selling for $199
Is that your ad OP?
It takes a while for inventory to sync with Amazon. We also have to wait for the pending orders to transfer over too confirmed.
Just bought one… thank you!
What's the wifi in this?
just tried through both links, OOS again?
Does anyone know if these have HDMI CEC?
Works greats as home assistant box.
Can you run dual monitors on this out of the box?
Phew, it is OOS, I already have too many PCs at home.
Oh man!
I’ve been looking for something for my parents. Just a simple PC with win10 preloaded so they can browse, play with a couple of programs, check and write emails.
This WOULD have been perfect.
Any other options that people know of at this price point?
I've added 20 more units.
Hi Calmago, any chance of adding any more? I had a PC in my cart tonight but just missed out as there was only 1 stock left.
Cheers.
It's showing as in stock again for me now.
Can this be upgraded with a low-profile graphics card?
No
These is a slightly less tiny version, the M93p SSF that goes for around the same price. That will probably fit a dedicated card.
can it play back 4k?
nice, these are great for Home Assistant / HASS.IO
This is what I ordered mine for, just out of interest how are you running it?
I'm thinking Ubuntu / Docker / Hass.io, it'd be nice if I could do straight hass.io but I can't find any info on installing it on a PC as the OS.
I go direct HASS.IO on it, just use the NUC image.
Gotcha, thanks.
Do these steps look right?

@No: I followed something similar, but yes you need to image the drive.. its not a bootable installer.
I am also keen to run hassio on something like this but wonder if I could achieve this with a budget of $100?
you can with a Raspberry Pi or hand-me-down machine
if you want to do z-wave and/or zigbee you have additional costs
Thanks mate.
I've never heard of these small form factor desktop boxes before, can you get ones with a graphics card?
Anyone know if these have more than one SATA port?
Is this any good for streaming tv shows and connecting to a tv? What cable do I use as it doesn't have a HDMI output?
displayport to hdmi cable. there are tons on ebay.
If I'm looking for one of these small PC boxes to get the specs I'm after, is there another good brand/model to consider besides these Lenovo ThinkCenters?
dell optiplex 9020 with 4th gen i5 is also very popular on ozb.
I am reinstalling windows 10 via usb (windows 10 media creation) but it asked for drivers to continue. What driver do I need for this? Is it the sata drive, ethernet, or chipset?
