Key Specs
Since many of our users are going to want to run different OSes on this, we wanted to give some of the key hardware specs. There is a lot on these machines that are customizable, but this at least gives you some sense of what hardware is available. If you want to know if your hardware is compatible with your OS, this list should help do that tie-out.

The OS section can be a big deal. If you want to get an included Windows license, it is usually worth it to look for a “Pro” license embedded.
Note: These systems sometimes change specs mid-generation. If you find another spec sheet with items you think we should add, please let us know in the comments.
Next, we are going to look at the performance and power consumption before getting to our final words.
Sadly these are laptop-grade “T” CPUs. The only TMM desktop I know that uses proper desktop CPUs is the HP EliteDesk 800 G5 Mini. I have one with an i7-9700K and one with an i9-9900K (95W).
I believe some Lenovos can be configured with 10G Ethernet, however, although how much that matters when the CPU is likely the bottleneck is anyone’s guess.
These are fairly recent CPUs with modern hardware instructions. 10Gb isn’t really much of a bottleneck anymore. I have a 720q w/ dual 10Gb and it handles just fine.
@ R/L where did you get the 10Gb version? their website just shows 1Gb/ Quad 1Gb configs
Have a look at the following image with a 10GbE PCI low-profile card inside:

I have thinkcentre m720q.Did support i9 9900T ES Processor? B360 Chipset.tnx and best regards
Glad to see this supports Windows 19 Home 64 when it comes out. /s
What is the max supported SDD size ? Which model you suggest for Lenovo m720p.
