Lenovo’s First Detach-and-build Modular the ThinkCentre TIO 23

Lenovo's new ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One (TIO) 23 modular AIO (All-in-One) gives businesses the flexibility to "mix and match" a 23-inch AIO experience with all current ThinkCentre Tiny PC, which apparently is sold separately, allowing for separate refresh cycles of a traditional tower setup while offering space saving and outstanding cable management capabilities of an all-in-one PC.

Unlike most traditional AIOs, the TIO 23 is powered by a detachable ThinkCentre Tiny PC that seamlessly locks into the back of the monitor within seconds through a simple tool-less setup process. This unique hybrid configuration not only provides users with a clean-desk computing experience free from cable clutter but also allows users to configure their 23-inch AIO with a multitude of different chipsets and CPUs according to their needs, choosing from different ThinkCentre Tiny PC products. When it comes time to upgrade or service the system, users can simply pop the old Tiny PC out of the TIO, drop the new one in and resume back to work in less than two minutes.

TIO offers enhanced physical security for the Tiny PC with an advanced locking mechanism that secures Tiny and the TIO’s optional ODD module inside the system when a Kensington cable lock is attached. The ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One 23 starts at $279 and will be available the beginning of October for purchase.
