FAQs

What is the warranty period for this Mini PC?

Warranty information can vary based on region and purchase channel. Please refer to the official Lenovo support website or your purchase documentation for specific warranty details.

Can I upgrade the RAM in this Mini PC?

Yes, this Mini PC supports RAM upgrades up to 64 GB. It has two SO-DIMM slots, and the 16 GB memory is typically configured as a single 16 GB stick, leaving one slot free for expansion.

Can I add a second storage drive?

This model primarily features a single M.2 slot for an NVMe SSD. While some Mini PCs might support additional drive bays, this specific chassis is designed for a single internal SSD. External storage solutions are readily available.

Does this Mini PC come with a keyboard and mouse?

The product description indicates that a keyboard and mouse are included with this specific model (MPN: 12TD000FGE).

What is the maximum resolution supported by the display outputs?

The PC features HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1, which typically support high resolutions such as 4K at high refresh rates, and potentially higher depending on the specific monitor and cable used.

Is this PC suitable for gaming?

While capable of running casual or older games, the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 is not designed for demanding modern gaming titles. For intensive gaming, a dedicated graphics card would be necessary, which is not an option in this Mini PC form factor.
