Condition: Used
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q, a used Tiny desktop with an Intel Core i5 8th Gen processor, 8GB RAM and a 500GB HDD, is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 27,000. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q belongs to Lenovo's ThinkCentre business line and uses the company's Tiny chassis, roughly one litre in volume and about the size of a hardback book. It measures 179 x 36.5 x 182.9 mm and weighs 1.32 kg. Come and see the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q at the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for offices short on space, the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q handles the work of a full desktop from a box that fits in one hand. Law firms in Upper Hill, pharmacies, M-Pesa agent shops and hotel front desks across Kenya often have room for a monitor and little else. Mount this unit behind the screen with Lenovo's optional VESA bracket, and the counter stays clear. The Core i5 8th Gen chip and 8GB of RAM run accounting software, browser-based systems and video calls comfortably, while front USB-C and fast-charge USB ports keep a phone topped up during the day.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell grey-market mini PCs with no history, Mascom International sells the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q as a genuine business machine with a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery. Buyers throughout Kenya report that the Tiny size is the reason they choose it: one unit replaces a bulky tower and frees up floor space under the desk. At KSh 5,000 below the ThinkCentre M720s, it is the compact choice in our ThinkCentre range. Walk in to test the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q, or order on WhatsApp for delivery.
Common Questions About the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q
What is the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q i5 8th Gen price in Kenya?
The used Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q with an Intel Core i5 8th Gen, 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD sells for KSh 27,000 at Mascom International, Nairobi CBD. For that amount you get the Tiny system unit, a tested power adapter and a 6-month hardware warranty. You pay on arrival anywhere in Kenya. The ThinkCentre M910s small form factor model costs KSh 4,500 less, and the ThinkCentre M720s costs KSh 5,000 more. Ask on WhatsApp whether a keyboard, mouse or monitor comes with your unit.
Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q or ThinkCentre M720s: which should I buy?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q is about one litre in size, while the ThinkCentre M720s is a larger small form factor desktop with a 9th Gen Core i5. At Mascom International the M720s costs KSh 32,000, KSh 5,000 more. The M720s gives you a newer processor and a case with full-size expansion slots for a graphics card. The M920q gives you a machine you can hide behind a monitor. Choose the M720s for growth; choose the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q when desk space matters most.
Is the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q a good choice for an M-Pesa agent shop or till point in Kenya?
Yes, the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q suits M-Pesa agent shops and till points because it fits on a crowded counter and runs browser-based systems smoothly. Its 65W external adapter draws little power, so a small UPS keeps it running longer through a KPLC outage than a bigger tower would. The wired Ethernet port gives a steady link to a Safaricom or Airtel Kenya router. Lock it to the counter through the Kensington slot so the unit stays put during busy hours.
Who should buy the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q, and who should skip it?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q fits lawyers, receptionists, pharmacists, hotel staff and anyone who needs office software in a tight space. Skip it if you need a dedicated graphics card for design, CAD or gaming, because the Tiny case has no room for one. Engineers and architects should look at the Dell Precision 3640 with an i7 10th Gen and 16GB RAM, which Mascom International stocks at KSh 48,000. Buyers on a tighter budget can take the ThinkCentre M910s instead.
Is this Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q used or refurbished, and what is the difference?
This Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q is used: a carefully maintained international import, never deployed locally in Kenya, sold in clean used condition. A refurbished machine has been rebuilt by its maker or a certified workshop with replaced parts, and that was not done here. Small scuffs on the case are normal. Port options, the Wi-Fi card and drive health differ from one unit to the next, so confirm the specific unit with our team on WhatsApp before you buy.
How is the Tiny form factor of the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q different from a small form factor desktop?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q Tiny is about one litre, while small form factor desktops such as the ThinkCentre M910s are around eight litres. Tiny models use a laptop-style external power adapter and laptop-size memory sticks, which is how they shrink so far. They can mount on the back of a monitor or under a desk with Lenovo's VESA bracket. The trade-off is fewer drive bays and no full expansion slots, so plan your upgrades around one 2.5-inch drive and one M.2 SSD.
Can I speed up the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q beyond its 500GB hard drive?
Yes, the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q has an M.2 slot for a solid state drive alongside its 2.5-inch bay holding the 500GB HDD. Moving Windows and your programs onto an SSD makes the machine start and respond much faster, while the hard drive keeps your files. Two memory slots take DDR4-2666 laptop-size sticks if you want more than 8GB. Our technicians at Mascom International on Kimathi Street can recommend parts that fit when you visit.
Does the Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q have Wi-Fi and USB-C?
The Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q has a front USB-C port and an M.2 slot made for a Wi-Fi card, but whether a card is fitted varies by unit. Confirm on WhatsApp if wireless matters to you, or use the wired Gigabit Ethernet port instead. The USB-C port at the front transfers data and handles modern flash drives. Next to it sits a fast-charge USB port, so you can charge a phone from the desktop while you work.
Technical Specifications
Processor
- Intel Core i5 8th Gen, a 35W chip — the efficient processors Lenovo specifies for this Tiny model, so heat and noise stay low.
- Core i5 class — handles accounting packages, web systems and Teams calls without the slowdowns older machines show.
- 8th Gen Intel processors are on Microsoft's supported list for Windows 11 — a newer operating system stays possible.
- Low-wattage desktop chip — less heat in a closed office or a warm shop counter in Mombasa or Kisumu.
- Steady mains-powered performance — no battery to wear out, so speed stays the same from opening to closing time.
Memory
- 8GB DDR4 RAM — keeps your browser, email, a spreadsheet and a video call open together.
- DDR4-2666 SODIMM — the same laptop-size sticks used in notebooks, widely sold in Nairobi for upgrades.
- Two memory slots — add a second stick later and you gain more room for open programs.
- Dual-slot layout — two matched sticks let the processor reach memory over two lanes for quicker response.
- Laptop-size memory is part of how Lenovo fits a full desktop into about one litre — no compromise for office work.
Storage
- 500GB HDD — holds about 160,000 photos at 3MB each, or many years of scanned invoices and contracts.
- One 2.5-inch drive bay — the hard drive in this unit uses the laptop-size bay inside the Tiny case.
- M.2 slot for an SSD or Intel Optane — add a fast drive for Windows while the hard drive stores files.
- Spinning hard drive — slower to start up than an SSD but far cheaper for bulk storage.
- Optional external optical box from Lenovo — there is no built-in DVD drive in the Tiny chassis.
Graphics
- Intel UHD Graphics built into the 8th Gen processor — enough for office work, HD streaming and video meetings.
- Shares part of the 8GB system memory — no separate graphics card, which keeps the case small and quiet.
- Drives up to three independent monitors — spreadsheet on one screen, email on another, a browser on a third.
- Smooth playback of YouTube, training videos and presentations on a boardroom TV over HDMI.
- No slot for a dedicated graphics card — 3D design, video editing and modern games need a different machine.
Connectivity
- Front: one USB 3.1 Gen 2 fast-charge port and one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C port — easy to reach for phones and drives.
- Rear: two USB 3.1 Gen 2 and two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports — keyboard, mouse, printer and scanner stay connected.
- DisplayPort and HDMI at the rear — plug in modern monitors or a TV without adapters.
- Two optional punch-out ports for serial, VGA, DisplayPort, HDMI or USB-C — fitted on some units, so confirm on WhatsApp.
- Gigabit Ethernet plus an M.2 Wi-Fi slot — a wired link to your Safaricom Home Fibre router, with wireless where a card is fitted.
- Front headset and microphone jacks — call-centre and Zoom headsets plug straight in.
Build and Form Factor
- Lenovo Tiny chassis of about one litre — 179 x 36.5 x 182.9 mm, smaller than a box of A4 paper.
- Weighs 1.32 kg — easy to carry between branches or take home for remote work.
- External 65W power adapter — at 88% efficiency it uses little electricity, which helps on solar or inverter backup.
- Mounts behind a monitor or under a desk with Lenovo's ThinkCentre Tiny VESA Mount II, sold separately.
- Hardware TPM 2.0 chip, Kensington lock slot and Lenovo USB protection that can block storage sticks — guards client data in shared offices.
