Lenovo has released an interesting tiny PC, the ThinkCentre neo 50q which is powered by a 3.0GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon X X1-26-100. That will certainly help with the price, unfortunately it also uses LPDDR5X-8448 in either a 16GB model or a 32GB version which likely comes with sticker shock for free.
It sips a mere 26W, impressive compared to Intel and AMD’s 35W processors but unfortunately the benefit of that lower power draw matters a lot less on a system with no battery. It measures a mere 182.9 x 179 x 36.5mm (7.20 x 7.05 x 1.44 in), or 1L if you prefer and weighs a hair over a kilogram, also known as 2.45 lbs.
Lenovo squeezed a fair amount of ports onto the ThinkCentre neo 50q, with both USB-A and USB-C 10Gbps on the front along with a combo audio jack while the rear offers 1GbE LAN, two more USB-A 10Gbps, and a single legacy USB-A 480Mbps. The ThinkCentre neo 50q offers both both HDMI 2.1 and DP1.4b however the Snapdragon limits your output to 4K@60Hz. There is a Back-to-Back punch-out port and optional Wi-Fi 6E (2×2) with Bluetooth 5.3 via an available M.2 slot.
