In the early wake of CES, Lenovo has introduced the ThinkCentre M90a all-in-one geared toward business and corporate customers with a 23.8" display, improved security features, and low-power components within a single, slim package not much larger than a typical monitor.

The ThinkCentre M90a utilizes mobile components in order to reduce the total footprint of the machine, resulting in a thin and light machine, weighing in at a total of 16.56 pounds. As for CPU choice, Lenovo opted for Intel's upcoming 10th Generation Comet Lake, which, specifically, could be a form of Comet Lake-U as an i7 vPro CPU, and as for the GPU, the AMD Radeon 625 was selected paired with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM. Up to two DDR4 SO-DIMM memory modules are supported with a stated DDR4 memory capacity maximum of 32GB.

Lenovo also opted for a 1TB M.2-2242 SSD despite also retaining a 2TB 2.5" HDD. As for optional equipment, the ThinkCentre M90a supports the addition of a slim ODD. Lenovo's choice for display is a 1080p 23.8" panel with a brightness of either 250 or 350 nits. A camera is also included within the top regions of the display's bezel being an HD + IR camera paired with Lenovo's ThinkShutter, a small shutter that one may use to cover the camera if the user feels the need for extra privacy.

Lenovo has also prepared the ThinkCentre M90a for rugged environments by meeting Mil-Spec standards including low altitude, high/low temperature, temperature shock, humidity, sand and dust, vibration, and shock protection.
