Hey guys,

This weekend we will have a video on the above. Specifically this one: IdeaCentre Mini 5i PC | Space-saving Mini Desktop

With the Black Friday coupons, I got it for $545.02

The current price is $639.99 but there is usually a popup with a $25 off coupon and sometimes more. Lenovo has been adjusting discounts/ coupons frequently.

Specs:
  1. Core i5-10400T (6C/ 12T)
  2. 12GB RAM (4GB+8GB)
  3. 1TB HDD 2.5"
  4. 256GB not great SSD
  5. Win 11 Pro
There is no vPro. My best guess is that these are basically Lenovo Tiny M70q Tiny flipped upside down with a plastic case that is WAY harder to service.

Lenovo has had some extra coupons, and the deal is not as good as on BF, but wanted to let folks here know before I post the video. This one I dislike the chassis on, but it is actually a decent value for a TMM class node especially if you can get coupons to go to that $550 range again.

Also, the M90q Tiny Gen 2 that they have with the 11th gen Core i7 is a pretty interesting machine. PCIe Gen4 but it is also more expensive.
