联想ThinkCentre M90n-1 Nano IoT台式机评测. Review unit provided by Lenovo.

联想ThinkCentre M90n Nano IoT是一款有趣的设备。它当然不是要成为消费类台式机。那些有兴趣购买家用或商务用途的Lenovo mini PC的人应该考虑非IoT版本的ThinkCentre M90n Nano。一些买家还可以考虑英特尔提供的各种NUC。

物联网是针对大规模企业部署而设计的，其中必须要求无声操作，紧凑的占地面积和低功耗。在这些领域，Nano IoT取得了成功。该设备体积小，功耗低，为企业用户选择了许多端口，并且完全安静。

顾名思义，Nano IoT最好用作“物联网”设备。在正常使用情况下，Nano IoT发热严重。该设备运行温度高，易降频。

在特定的情况下，需要计算机进行简短的交易计算（例如在销售点或作为服务器阵列的一部分），Nano IoT是有意义的。否则，Nano IoT不值得其相对较高的要价。消费者绝对应该将目光投向其他地方。
