Lenovo was just selling this on their site at a major discount as well, but it appears they've taken it down. I was able to order on Walmart which states there weren't many left. Lenovo's site does say they price match, however.

Can i put a 4090 in this? Asking for a friend
If you had to have a 4090, you wouldn't pair it with this…you'd pair it with a non "T" CPU in a case that'd fit the 4090.

Of course you can, maybe using thunderbolt 4 or external enclosure

It doesn't say the CPU specs anywhere on the Walmart site. How do you know you're getting the i9-13900T ?
Not by the part number, 30H00016US, because on the Lenovo site it shows that part number with a starting cpu of i3.

Here's a screenshot of the basic specs from Lenovo

Quote from The_Love_Spud :
I'm encouraged by the size of the associated power supply. My biggest concern in a system like this would be that the design power limits the associated boost capabilities of the CPU. This is a T-series "power optimized" CPU only rated for 35W. However, the maximum boost ability of the CPU is over 100W. With an associated 230W power supply the system could indeed support the limits of the CPU... assuming the associated cooling system is up to the task for the CPU (not a big ask given the relatively low 35W-100W range. I might be more concerned with the ability to of this system to keep up with the 65W TDP CPUs it also supports.

If anyone finds some direct reviews of these systems it would be appreciated. Most everything out there just seems to cover the documentation of this ridiculous little beast.

Good luck!

As soon as I get it, I'll run some performance tests and take a look at the PL1/2 and tau. It will be interesting to see what Lenovo has defaulted to for such a small chassis. Very curious to see the cooling capabilities as well.

As someone else mentioned, these corporate "Think" machines fall in price like a rock including the thinkpad laptops. You pay 1,900 for this + sales tax in 9/23 and by 1/25 you will be hard pressed to find a buyer on craigslist for $600.

The use case where you would need a micro form factor machine with i9 CPU with a 40,000+ score and a quadro GPU like this one today is very very small. A PC with a much weaker processor could do most of what people do on their machines - excel, word processor, cat videos on youtube. It's not like this is a gaming machine either. The T1000 is pretty weak for games. Why overpay for something you will likely never need?

It's a 24-core desktop processor, but in a case only slightly larger than a laptop. Plus it has a GPU it has to cool. Yes it's in an all steel chassis, which laptops don't come in, but don't expect miracles..

The IdeaCenter Mini v8 i7 is much better bang for buck if it meets your needs.

Heat, noise, reliability and for someone who doesn't care about gaming, it is weaker than this for what they want to do - workstation/server use
