Interested in purchasing an M910q Tiny PC from me? Send an email to haisterepair@gmail.com and I can provide a shipping quote either in North America or worldwide :)
@@HaisteComputerRepair thank you. I want to get a mini PC for my girlfriend and install either OpenElec or OSMC so she can connect her external drives that are filled with movies that I ripped. If it haven't 4k at 20hz over HDMI, then it'll output a solid 1080p60hz without much issue, right? Also if I got a DisplayPort to HDMI dongle, would that circumvent the HDMI 4k limitation?
@@WrappedInPlasticine An adapter theoretically will do this, yes. You will have to make sure you read the specifications and product reviews to make sure you get the right one. 4K at 20Hz may not be that bad, though. Could be worth a try. Might be better than scaling down to 1080p on a 4K TV.
will this support a lga 1151 Xeon e3-1245 v5? I know the LGA is correct, just not certain the bios will support it. The Xeon Cpu does have internal grahics but it's 530, not 630.
I use one similar in 2024, for daily tasks and Adobe Autocad, Bentley 3D , it works perfect. I Buyed for 5-6 Months ago, refurbished for 230€ from Amazon in Germany.
I bought one for 85€ with a i5 6500T I wish it had the 7th gen, for better transcoding but anyways I think it's a good price. From what I read online it can be Bios modded to support up to 9th gen CPUs so that's a plus haha

Hello! Thanks for the insightful review. I'm looking into options for a relatively inexpensive client so I can play Steam games in my living room hosted on my PC in my home office, as well as maybe some streaming services like Netflix/Hulu. Do you think this would be a decent option? I appreciate any insight you might have - hardware isn't my strong suit
Streaming Netflix, no problem. Running games, you are limited as this does not have a way to install a graphics card nor does it have a "dedicated GPU" like a gaming laptop or workstation laptop. If you want something small, you are better off looking up a SFF Lenovo ThinkCentre and installing a low profile graphics card. Like many videos I have uploaded: ruclips.net/video/PTVBP0kVo98/видео.htmlsi=bqlHZuopnoamcV-M
@@HaisteComputerRepair thank you for your reply. So even if the game is running on my gaming PC and I’m just using this to play remotely via Steam Link or Moonlight, this still wouldn’t be a viable option? Just making sure I’m on the same page. Thanks again
@@tylertheadventurer I plan to do something similar, just need to find the time. I have run HDMI and USB cables from my workstation PC to my living room and basement televisions. So, I could connect peripherals and use my PC from three different areas.
Hey i got a question theres a input core and a output so does this mean i can use those headphones without bluetooth? And i can connect a keyboard with one hdmi cord to Right? And can it connect with a AOC monitor which is 22 INCH
Yes to headphone jack, USB Keyboard, and if your monitor takes HDMI and there is an HDMI port great. If there is no HDMI port and no other option from your monitor, a cable adapter could likely be used.
As long as you have the proper display cable, yes. Whether that be HDMI or DisplayPort, etc. Use of an adapter might be needed, so don't worry if there is not an exact match.
These little PC's are great for productivity, and some games as long as expectations are not too high. I was able to play Valorant on it on medium settings with relative ease. I got one for $150 CAD 6500t, 8gb ram, 500gb ssd. I added an extra 16gb ram so I spent around $175 Canadian total. Not bad..
Well a nice a bluetooth speaker would work. I use some Bose companion series III speakers on my desktop workstation that would work with the M910q. They were free and sound quite nice. I also live in a townhouse connected to another owner, so I don't really use loud surround speakers or monitors.
i7-7700T is the top listed in product specifications. You will have the advantage of 4 cores and 8 threads, though remember the "T" series of CPU's are designed for lower power draw. So if you are looking for something higher end it might be better to consider full size desktop options.
Yes, you will get it done if you are on a budget. I have sold PC's and laptops to people doing trading with multiple monitors and systems like this seemed to do the trick. I would say just make sure there is at least 16GB RAM, i5 or i7 CPU, and an NVMe SSD.
@@HaisteComputerRepairSorry for not been specific, i was hoping someone already running Frigate on it could reply. Actually, main concern would be related to the fact that its going to be running 24x7, so power consumption and heat dispersion could be two issues for me.
@@hannibolo3476 Fair, yeah I have no experience with Frigate. But, due to this unit's lower power draw unless Frigate is particularly resource heavy I don't think you will have a problem so long as the PC has room for air in/out.
Like Chrome OS Flex? You definitely could if you wanted to, though I imagined it's use case as something useful for older hardware. I have neve tried it out, so I can't really say.
Yes, you can download Rufus software, then go to the Microsoft website to download the Windows 11 .iso, and using Rufus as a method to burn the image to your USB drive it will prompt you with an option to bypass the TPM 2.0 requirements Microsoft put on Windows 11. Follow this guide where it outlines using Rufus to do this. www.tomshardware.com/how-to/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirement
@@yacinechelbabiIf you want Windows 11 on hardware that isn't on the official support list, this is your option. Windows 10 will still be supported until next year. You can always give it a go and see where it takes you.
@HaisteComputerRepair The lenovo m720q and m920q has a pcie slot. I've got a lp T1000 gpu in mine. You can also out a lp 6400 in it as well. I've paired mine with a i7 8700T

Very nice review! I only bought this tiny thing to project to at TV in my garage, but it’s cool to see you put it through its paces with minor gaming.
Thank you! It's definitely versatile and I am impressed with it's areas of expansion despite being so small.
How does it handle 4k movies?
@@WrappedInPlasticine It can output to 4K in 20Hz with HDMI and 60Hz with DisplayPort

Hi! What is it noise levels in idle and loads?
@@phoneaccount6907 Idle is near silent unless you put your ear up to it. Under load you will likely hear some fan noise. But, nothing outrageous.

@@HaisteComputerRepair why
@@tobiasgynild219 I have some for sale. It's just one option to consider if you are looking to purchase one. No problem either way.
@@HaisteComputerRepairyou need to know that im am from denmark and i have already find a danish webshop where i want to buy it. and i don't trust you!
@@tobiasgynild219 It's all good, my apologies if that was too forward. Best of luck with your M910q.

From what I read online it can be Bios modded to support up to 9th gen CPUs so that's a plus haha
Wow, I did not know that about the BIOS mod. Interesting. I'll have to look into it.
This would be really good if i could afford
I am selling them for $180 CAD in this configuration!
@@HaisteComputerRepair that's extremely cheap. Do you offer international shipping or?
Also does it have a graphics card?

@@tylertheadventurerSorry I misread that. I think you would be fine!
@@HaisteComputerRepair cool, thank you for sharing your thoughts. You've been a big help in figuring out what kind of machine I need!

what version of Lenevo tiny PC provides option to add two N.2 Nvme SSds please share
These little PC's are great for productivity, and some games as long as expectations are not too high. I was able to play Valorant on it on medium settings with relative ease. I got one for $150 CAD 6500t, 8gb ram, 500gb ssd. I added an extra 16gb ram so I spent around $175 Canadian total. Not bad..
Very nice! That's not bad at all, about the same price I am selling with 16GB RAM and 256GB NVMe SSD.
What kind of speakers would you recommend? I don't like to use headphones.
Well a nice a bluetooth speaker would work. I use some Bose companion series III speakers on my desktop workstation that would work with the M910q. They were free and sound quite nice. I also live in a townhouse connected to another owner, so I don't really use loud surround speakers or monitors.
To which CPU I can upgrade this mini PC for better graphics and performance?
i7-7700T is the top listed in product specifications. You will have the advantage of 4 cores and 8 threads, though remember the "T" series of CPU's are designed for lower power draw. So if you are looking for something higher end it might be better to consider full size desktop options.
What about the noise levels? Is it loud under load?
Not unless you have a faulty fan etc. Noise levels I found to be reasonable.
Hi I'm using a dell wyse5070 how do you get them gaming are they played online im probly going to get Lenovo.
I was using Epic Games and Steam for games.
@@HaisteComputerRepair you need 16 gb and good power..
Now I have 8GB RAM. Is it possible to upgrade to 16GB?
Yes, 2 x 8GB sodimm will get you there.
Is it good for normal video editing and trading with multiple monitors setup
Yes, you will get it done if you are on a budget. I have sold PC's and laptops to people doing trading with multiple monitors and systems like this seemed to do the trick. I would say just make sure there is at least 16GB RAM, i5 or i7 CPU, and an NVMe SSD.
Good day to you does this M910q have a sound card. When I plug in my headphone jack I do not hear anything.
Built in audio with Realtek ALC294. Have you tried installing drivers either through Windows Update or the Lenovo website?
Thanks for your quick response.@@HaisteComputerRepair

can i use for coding and install kali linux/Metasploit in these cpu?

The computer is good for Chrome OS
Like Chrome OS Flex? You definitely could if you wanted to, though I imagined it's use case as something useful for older hardware. I have neve tried it out, so I can't really say.
How loud is it on maximal load?
The power draw is lower on this Lenovo motherboard and "T" version of the CPU, so not very loud at all.
How does this handle 4k videos?
Waiting for the answer as well
