The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen2 packs a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285 processor, NVIDIA RTX A1000 GPU with 8GB memory, up to three M.2 SSDs, and Wi-Fi 7 into a 1-liter chassis. The system features extensive USB connectivity (mostly Type-A), 1GbE with Intel vPro, and easy tool-free serviceability. Power consumption ranges from 29-46W idle to ~185-240W under load, with noise levels reaching 45dBA at full load. While more expensive than budget mini PCs, it offers enterprise-grade support, extensive configuration options, and significantly more compute resources than older generation 1L systems.

Even an NVIDIA GPU and 3x SSDs fit in 1L Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen2
