The Lenovo M70q Gen 2 covers the essentials with USB-C, HDMI, and DisplayPort

Lenovo’s ThinkCentre M70q Gen 2 strikes a solid balance for a business mini PC. The front panel gives you two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a USB-C (also Gen 2) — enough for daily drive duty without dongles.

Around back, it’s a clean layout: two more USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and Gigabit Ethernet. The interesting detail is the optional port — you can get VGA or a serial port instead. That’s a deliberate choice for enterprises still running legacy peripherals like barcode scanners or serial consoles.

No Thunderbolt here, but the USB-C + HDMI + DisplayPort combo means you can drive two modern monitors without adapters. For a compact office PC, that’s the sweet spot.
