Lenovo ThinkCentre M90n Nano IoT Review

To date, we have looked at several small form factor PC’s from Lenovo that span a range of different sizes and capabilities, including the ThinkCentre M720q Tiny, ThinkStation P320 Tiny, and ThinkCentre M90n Nano. Lenovo crafted an even smaller PC called the ThinkCentre M90n Nano IoT. This is a compact PC intended as an edge IoT device for use in retail, hospitals, and manufacturing facilities, to name a few use cases. The M90n Nano IoT has an industrial look to it with its fanless construction. However, it does not lack in capabilities with 4G LTE and a wide array of ports and storage.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M90n Nano IoT Overview

Our review unit came with standard Lenovo packaging and also included a keyboard and mouse to round out the packaging. The M90n Nano IoT weighs in at 1.58 lbs with dimensions of 7.05” x 3.46” x 01.36”.

Front I/O ports include:

• Power Button
• 2x Serial Ports
• 1x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C

Here we have turned the M90n Nano IoT around to get a look at the rear I/O ports.

These rear I/O ports include:

• 1x DisplayPort
• 1x USB 3.1 Gen 2
• 1x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C

The M90n Nano IoT comes with a 65 watt AC/DC adapter with plenty of cable length to reach the wall socket and tuck the adapter out of the way for a clean desktop.

The M90n Nano IoT is small indeed, with dimensions of 7.05” x 3.46” x 1.36”. Here we see the M90n Nano IoT next to a ThinkCentre M720q Tiny for size comparison.

As we saw with the Tiny line, Lenovo offers several mounting options for the M90n Nano IoT for those that want to tuck the M90n Nano IoT away and out of sight.

Let’s move on to the supplied software and then test the Lenovo ThinkCentre M90n Nano IoT.
