Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the ThinkCentre neo 50q Gen 4 is the Intel Core i3-1215U processor, a 12th Gen hexa-core CPU operating at a base frequency of 1.20 GHz. This efficient processor, combined with Intel integrated graphics utilizing shared memory, provides adequate performance for typical thin-client workloads such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) access, web browsing, and office applications without the need for a discrete graphics card.
The system's 8 GB of DDR4 SDRAM running at 3200 MT/s (PC4-25600) supports current application demands and can be expanded up to 32 GB if future needs require more capacity. Storage is handled by a 256 GB solid-state drive, offering faster data access and improved reliability compared to traditional hard drives. Power consumption is managed by a 65-watt external power adapter, contributing to the unit's energy-efficient operation.
