As computing demands go up, office space doesn’t follow suit. With less space available, workstation need to shrink down in size while remaining powerful. Aside from having a tiny form factor, the P320 Tiny is easy to setup and is compatible with Lenovo’s ThinkCentre Tiny accessories. The P320 Tiny can be used to develop the latest innovative products, design a state-of-the-art skyscraper, or educate future entrepreneurs.
