Tiny PC 2021

• After much thought, I decided that I want Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny Gen 2 instead of a NUC 11. It is similar to HP and Dell 1L PCs, but I’ll stick with Lenovo I think. I want:
  • maybe i7-11700 (without the T) processor
  • maybe even i9
  • maybe additional USB-C port (although looks like it’s Gen 1)
  • maybe the smallest RAM/SDD and no keyboars/mouse - I supply my own…
  • maybe stand
  • maybe filter
• but the thing is not yet configurable…
  • M90q Perks
  • M70q
  • RAM: CT2K32G4SFD832A - same laptop memory as for the NUC
  • memory: DDR4-3200 260 pin 1.2V SO-DIMM
    • Crucial CT2K32G4SFD832A $293 at Amazon
    • Kingston KCP432SD8/32 KVR32S22D8/32
• NUC11
  • I would prefer NUC 11 Performance to the Pro, but it is not available in US, and I do not want SimpleNuc’s home brew - which is not in stock either…
    • Pro (Tiger Canyon) is available with Core i7-1185G7 nuc11tnki7
      • SimpleNuc $779
    • Performance is available with Core i7-1165G7 (TDP 40W): nuc11paki7 guide specs
      • SimpleNuc: $834 kit: $650 <- IS THE ONE
• SAMSUNG 980 PRO 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen4 $350

Result:

• CPU: i7-11700T
• RAM 48Gb=32Gb+16Gb
• SSD: Samsung SSD 980 PRO 2TB
