Can't find info on the difference between T and H processors. I've had terrible experience with U processor, but H works great so far and I'm curious where T sits on the spectrum.

I was gonna say it reminds me of a Mac Mini that got thrown out of a moving vehicle on the highway.

Might pick one up as a budget homelab. Love the 6c/12t proc - and its got more power than a laptop. Also has wifi 6 and comes with 12Gb of Ram. I wish it had thunderbolt 3 or 4 for external storage. But its got enough space for 2 storage drives. Overall for the price its a solid deal.

I hope these are better than their M73's. We have a client that used them as a thinclient (remote desktop) machines and they had a lot that went bad in various ways. The most common was the WiFi would stop working until you powered off the unit, and restart it. Simply rebooting wouldnt work. Lenovo would send a warranty replacement that would go bad some way within a year. They're going to get replaced by Intel NUCs some time this year.

T processors designate lower TDP and thus are used in low power and space constrained desktops.

Thanks
Specs are fine but that's a full-size computer. Not really comparable nor worth a price premium.

It has usb c 3.2 20 Gbps so you won't be held back too much provided your external storage supports it.

Do you mean compared to H? This is strange because my current H processor is in a laptop - it's hard to imagine a more constrained space yet they managed to make it work well.

U and H series Processors are Laptop Processors, not Desktop. This is a full fledged Desktop Processor and you can upgrade that too. "T" Series Processors are the lower TDP counterpart of their corresponding Desktop counterparts.
For example, this is the lower TDP version of Desktop Comet Lake Processor i5-10400 where the TDP has been reduced to 35 W from the standard 65W, to be used in these kind of small form factor and Mini Computers.
