Good to go, from the get-go
Whatever the task, the ThinkCentre M70a is more than ready. Equipped with up to 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i9 processors, plus plenty of memory and storage, it zips through everything. And with next-gen ports enabling lightning-quick data transfer speeds, your productivity levels are set to soar.
Ergonomics at work
A lot of thought went into the M70a. The stand, for instance, was designed to take up less desk space and for cables to be tucked in at the back, resulting in a neater, cleaner works space. There are even designated spaces for a keyboard and smartphone when they’re not in use. A clutter-free desk is no longer wishful thinking.
Secure from the inside out
Each ThinkCentre is designed with ThinkShield, comprehensive end-to-end protection combining industry-leading hardware, software, services, and processes.
The ThinkShield features on the M70a include Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology to safeguard your data and passwords, system alerts if someone is looking at the screen over your shoulder, and Smart USB protection to thwart rogue USB access. There's also a Kensington lock slot to physically secure your PC..
What’s more, with ThinkShield you can choose additional features from our portfolio of cutting-edge security offerings—before you unbox your M70a. For more information, visit
A better way to work, even from home
While laptops offer portability, a fixed screen and keyboard can limit your viewing and typing experience. The M70a, however, lets you have the best of both worlds. An adjustable display with low blue-light and flicker-free features for more comfortable viewing, and the freedom to have the keyboard where it suits you. There are also noise-canceling microphones, ideal when taking calls at home.
Tried and tested
Reliability is the M70a's middle name. It meets ten military-grade durability requirements, including for altitude and humidity. It has also passed 200+ checks to ensure that it can run in extreme conditions, from the freezing Arctic wilderness to desert heat and dust.
