Lenovo has released an Intel version of its ThinkCentre neo 50q Gen 6 mini PC in the United States. The 1-liter system uses Lunar Lake processors and starts at $1,179, according to Notebookcheck.

Both processors have eight cores and eight threads. The Core Ultra 5 226V reaches 4.5 GHz and includes a 40 TOPS NPU. The Core Ultra 7 256V reaches 4.8 GHz and increases NPU performance to 47 TOPS. Intel specifies a 17W base power and 37W maximum turbo power for both chips.
The 16GB capacity cannot be upgraded. Lunar Lake integrates memory on the processor package, and Lenovo selected the 226V and 256V variants, which both have a 16GB memory limit. The company does not offer the 32GB Core Ultra 5 228V or Core Ultra 7 258V options for this system.
Lenovo equips the mini PC with HDMI 2.1 TMDS, DisplayPort 1.4b, Gigabit Ethernet and six USB ports. The front USB-C connection is limited to 10Gbps data transfer and charging. Lenovo’s specification does not list USB4 or Thunderbolt support. An optional rear slot can add another display output, serial port or 2.5GbE connection.
