Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 2

AMD Ryzen version of the same tiny chassis, with more memory headroom.

No Intel Quick Sync on this platform. If transcoding matters, check what the installed Radeon graphics actually support for your codecs.

Configuration used by the calculators: RAM 16 GB (our estimate), CPU 6 cores (our estimate), storage 512 GB (our estimate). A specification sheet describes a family, not the unit in front of you, so enter what your machine actually has.

Our estimated idle draw is 10 W at the wall and our estimated household average is 20 W. Neither is a measurement. A plug meter costs little and will beat any estimate on this site.

We publish no purchase price for this machine. Used prices move constantly and we have no archived price source we would stand behind, so the buy versus rent calculator asks you for the price you can actually get.
