PART1: Lenovo M920Q Overview & Upgrades
PART2: Lenovo M920Q Proxmox + several VMs – GUIDE
What is the best bang for buck Mini PC that is loaded with features?
Features like a Tiny 1L case, onboard Chipset, Upgradable CPU and RAM, PCIe 3.0 X8 slot (* needs a special converter to fit normal PCIe 3.0 devices) and NVMe slot all in one Minute package.
Featuring the Lenovo M920Q Tiny Mini PC (yes, that’s the first Lenovo I have featured on the channel!).
Get ready for a System Overview on this powerful yet affordable Mini PC (read that twice – those words are not normally in the same sentence!).
Can it support 10 GbE through it’s PCIe 3.0 x8 slot?
Can it support an e-GPU?
How many drives can you fit to it?
Can it function as your home server?
All these answers and more will be revealed in future videos on this little beast of a Mini PC.
