Lenovo™ has unveiled the ThinkCentre™ M90a Pro Gen 4, setting a new standard for all-in-one (AIO) business desktop computers. Designed to address the needs of modern workplaces and content creators, this powerhouse Windows 11 PC wows with a massive 27-inch QHD display and is equipped with smart features that enhance connectivity, privacy, and usability.

“Modern businesses require more than just a high-performing PC, they need solutions that are smart and intuitive, reliable and efficient, and empowers them to create a multi-device ecosystem seamlessly,” said Sanjeev Menon, vice president and general manager, Worldwide Desktop Business in Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo. “In this evolving hybrid environment, employees use an average of 2.5 devices for work1 and would like to be provided with both desktops and laptops to allow them to be more productive2. Lenovo’s ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 is the answer for businesses looking for synergy and to make workspaces more flexible, streamlined, and productive.”

Power to Produce Results

The ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 delivers performance when required, expandability when necessary, and results when needed. It’s ready to take on any challenge – packed with cutting-edge components, including Intel® vPro® Enterprise with up to 13th Gen Intel Core™ i9 processors, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 Laptop GPU, and up to 64GB of DDR5 memory. To keep the system optimized, the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 is equipped with Energy Performance Optimizer, which utilizes machine learning to classify tasks and boost performance.

ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 enables ultra-fast file sharing with Thunderbolt 4, capable of reaching speeds of up to 40 Gbps and making transferring videos and gigantic files a breeze3. For professionals demanding even more, the AIO desktop can support an additional 8K or two 4K monitors, can be outfitted with external GPUs and storage drives, and can double as a monitor when connected to other devices.

Accurate and Thoughtful Display

Bigger does not always mean better, except for the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4. Boasting a 27-inch QHD display capable of showing even the most minute detail, the AIO shines at 350 nits and has an sRGB 99% rating, so that designs and artworks accurately reflect the artists’ inspiration and vision.

Individually calibrated to ensure that the same image is identical in every ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4, the AIO not only focuses on the artists’ work, but also on their wellbeing. The premium AIO desktop is Eyesafe 2.0 and Flicker Free certified by TÜV Rheinland and has Natural Low Blue Light technology built into the hardware to reduce eyestrain and fatigue.

Multi-Device Connectivity Simplified

Modern organizations require collaboration across departments, creatives, and devices, and the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 is the solution to creating the ultimate hybrid ecosystem. In addition to the Thunderbolt 4 port, the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 also offers an optional Thunderbolt 3 port4 that allows users to share the display as a Thunderbolt monitor when connected via the included USB-C® cable. Through this feature, users can also share a second M.2 SSD to laptop or PC with super-while enjoying high-speed data transfer rates.

ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 has power to spare and seamless connectivity with other laptops or PCs, but it can also become an extension to mobile devices. Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola and select Motorola smartphone users can connect to the AIO via app, gaining the ability to copy, paste, and drag-and-drop files between the phone and the desktop, as well as stream apps, respond to texts and keep track of notifications without having to use their phones.

“The ability to power through any task as well as to become a hub to multiple devices makes the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 the ideal choice for a hybrid workforce,” added Menon. “A designer can now ideate on his phone from a coffee shop, create and design on his laptop at home and put the finishing touches the next day at work all without missing a beat.”

Designed for the Modern Professional

Privacy, security, and reliability are essential for the modern professional, and the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 seamlessly blends hardware and software to give users peace of mind. Using a unique combination of AI, next-gen Human Presence Detection (HPD) with radar sensor and the RGB-IR camera, the AIO harnesses privacy with zero-touch login and logout that automatically blurs your screen when someone is behind you.

In addition to the array of security features, the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 4 is built with a discrete TPM 2.0 chip for more secured encryption, comes with ThinkShield to safeguard data and assets, and can block USB storage devices with Smart USB Protection. The AIO is also Mil SPEC tested for durability and reliability5 and is UL Anti-dust certified.

Built to work seamlessly with Windows 11 and other operating systems, Lenovo Device Manager is a flexible, scalable, cloud based, and zero-touch solution that allows users to connect and configure policies across all devices.
