Lenovo releases new ThinkCentre desktop globally with Intel Lunar Lake and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
Lenovo has now released a new compact desktop PC globally. Specifically, the company has started selling the ThinkCentre Neo 50q Gen 6 in more markets after releasing it a few weeks ago in the US. For context, the desktop replaces Lenovo's Gen 5 model, which was available with a variety of Raptor Lake processors (curr. $799 on Amazon).
By contrast, the ThinkCentre Neo 50q Gen 6 leverages Intel's Lunar Lake platform with a choice between the Core Ultra 5 226V and Core Ultra 7 256V. As a result, the desktop also has Arc 130V and Arc 140V iGPUs at it disposal, which remain powerful enough to play some older triple-A games at 1080p and high settings. It is worth noting that a 15% gap exists between the pair in our gaming benchmarks, though.
Setting that aside, the ThinkCentre Neo 50q Gen 6 can be configured with 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 storage, Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 connectivity and a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connection. Moreover, Lenovo sells optional DisplayPort and VGA ports, too. For reference, all this hardware sits within a 179 x 182.9 x 34.5 mm housing that weighs a mere 1.1 kg.
Pricing starts at AUD 1,339, CAD 1,329, €950-€1,020, HKD 6,447 and £845.50 in Australia, Canada, the Eurozone, Hong Kong and the UK, respectively. Most markets have received customisable options too, unlike the US. Unfortunately, Lenovo restricts the ThinkCentre Neo 50q Gen 6 Tiny to 16 GB of RAM though, by offering only the Core Ultra 5 226V and Core Ultra 7 256V.
