Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 Tiny

When I got the following email from Lenovo, I was very interested:  “We have a new mini-desktop for review coupled with a brand new monitor form factor; the ThinkCentre M83 and Tiny in One 23.”  So, of course, I said, let’s do it. When the box with the components arrived, it was very big. When I unpacked the ThinkCentre M83 Tiny, it was indeed, very small! (Those golf balls in the picture give you a sense of scale. You don't get them with the unit!) Even though it was smaller than a text book, here’s what Lenovo said about their new ThinkCentre M83 Tiny: “It packs huge performance into a tiny form factor, accommodating even the smallest of workspaces without sacrificing power. Now, add in the ability to take the Tiny desktop and create an all-in-one that can be upgraded to fit the needs of the user and save space at the same time. M83 Key Specs: Intel Core i5-4590T processor, Intel HD 4600 graphics, 500GB HDD and 8GB RAM, and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.”  As you’ll see on their website, there are dozens of options available to customize this computer. Actually it turns out there are four different form factors for the M83; everything from a regular tower PC, down to the Tiny that you’ll see in the video. As of 2/11/15, the starting price of the Tiny with an i3 chip was $434.99.
