The Core Ultra 7 256V is an Intel Series 2 V-Series processor — a low-power, high-efficiency design with 8 cores (4 performance + 4 LP efficiency), boosting up to 4.8 GHz and paired with Intel Arc 140V integrated graphics. Where previous ThinkCentre Tiny machines used Intel UHD graphics, the 50q Gen 6 steps up to a proper Arc GPU delivering 64 TOPS of GPU AI performance and supporting hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DirectX 12 — a meaningful generational step for a machine this size. Combined with the 47 TOPS NPU, total system AI performance reaches 115 TOPS, making this a fully certified Copilot+ PC eligible for Windows 11’s AI feature set including Recall, Live Captions, and Cocreator.
The 16GB LPDDR5X-8533 memory is soldered directly to the system board using MoP (Memory on Package) technology, eliminating slot overhead for better signal integrity and power efficiency in the compact chassis. This memory is not upgradeable, so the 16GB configuration is what it ships with for life.

Connectivity & I/O

For a 1-litre machine, the I/O is well-stocked. Front ports include 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10Gbps, 5V@3A charging), 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (Always On, 5V@2.1A), and a headphone/mic combo jack. The rear provides 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 2x USB 2.0 Type-A (one with Smart Power On), HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4b, and Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) — supporting up to three simultaneous displays via the onboard ports, with an optional punch-out port for a third display as VGA, a second HDMI, or a second DP. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are built in, with VESA 100mm mounting support for attaching the unit directly behind a compatible monitor.

Security & Build

At just 1.1 kg and 179 × 183 × 34.5 mm, the 50q Gen 6 disappears in any workspace. ThinkShield security is fully intact: discrete TPM 2.0 (FIPS 140-2 certified), Smart USB Protection, chassis intrusion switch, Kensington lock slot, hard disk password, Absolute Persistence Module, Secure Boot, and Secure Wipe. A 65W external power adapter keeps the power footprint minimal.

The 16GB RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded — buyers requiring more memory must select a higher-configured model at the time of purchase.

The punch-out port at the rear is unpopulated by default on the SA model. A third display requires the appropriate punch-out card (VGA, HDMI, or DP), which can be added or retrofitted separately.

At just 1.1 kg with VESA mount support, this machine mounts cleanly behind most monitors — ideal for tidying up cramped reception desks, boardrooms, or healthcare workstations where desk space is at a premium.

The Core Ultra 5 226V is an Intel Series 2 V-Series processor with 8 cores (4 performance + 4 LP efficiency) boosting up to 4.5 GHz, integrated Intel Arc 130V graphics, and a dedicated Intel AI Boost NPU at 40 TOPS. Combined GPU and NPU AI performance reaches 97 TOPS — clearing the 40 TOPS Copilot+ certification threshold and qualifying the machine for the full suite of Windows 11 AI features including Recall, Live Captions, and AI-enhanced productivity tools. The 16GB LPDDR5X-8533 memory is soldered to the system board using MoP (Memory on Package) technology for efficiency and reliability in the compact chassis — it cannot be upgraded after purchase.

Storage, Connectivity & Display

The 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD is the sole storage device, with the platform supporting up to 1TB in the single M.2 slot. Front I/O provides 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10Gbps, 5V@3A charging), 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (Always On, 5V@2.1A), and a headphone/mic combo jack. The rear adds 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 2x USB 2.0 Type-A (one with Smart Power On), HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4b, and Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45). An optional punch-out port at the rear can be populated with VGA, a second HDMI, a second DisplayPort, a serial port, or 2.5GbE — enabling up to three simultaneous displays. VESA 100mm mount support allows the unit to mount directly behind a compatible monitor.

Security & Build

At 1.1 kg and 179 × 183 × 34.5 mm, this is one of the smallest business-grade desktops available. ThinkShield security includes discrete TPM 2.0 (FIPS 140-2 certified), Smart USB Protection, chassis intrusion switch, Kensington lock slot, Absolute Persistence Module, hard disk password, Secure Boot, and Secure Wipe. The machine runs off a compact 65W external adapter.

The 16GB RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded — the 13HR000HSA (Ultra 7 256V) is the recommended step-up if more AI processing headroom is needed, as it also provides the stronger Arc 140V GPU tier.

The punch-out port is unpopulated by default on this SA model. A third display output requires the appropriate punch-out card, available as a separately sourced accessory.
