Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2_CTRL MTR - Intel Core Ultra 5 135H - 16GB - 256GB SSD - Windows 11 IoT - Intel Arc Graphics - Wi-Fi 6E - BT 5.1 - 170W - 12WA000NUS

The Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2_CTRL MTR is a mini PC for businesses equipping meeting rooms, with an Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, 16GB of memory, and 256GB SSD running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise.

Recommended For

• Organizations equipping a dedicated Microsoft Teams meeting room: this model is configured as a Teams Rooms system, rather than as a conventional desktop PC.
• IT and AV teams standardizing fixed conference rooms that need a dedicated room compute system connected to displays and meeting-room peripherals.
• Businesses setting up hybrid meetings where participants need to share content on room displays; Lenovo positions the Core Gen 2 for meeting-room collaboration and lists HDMI input on selected configurations.
• Organizations that want a compact room-computing foundation and plan to choose compatible controllers, cameras, audio equipment, and displays for their own meeting-room setup.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a Teams meeting room, staff can use the dedicated room system to join scheduled calls and use the room’s connected display and conferencing equipment, rather than relying on one attendee’s laptop to host the meeting.
• For a hybrid meeting, a business can pair the Core with compatible room cameras, microphones, speakers, and displays so in-room participants can meet with remote colleagues through the room system; those peripherals are needed separately if they are not included in the purchase.
• When a presenter brings a laptop, the room can use the Core’s HDMI input for wired content sharing, letting attendees view the presentation on the connected room display during a meeting.
• In a room with two displays, an organization can connect both to the Core for a multi-screen meeting setup, such as keeping participants visible on one screen while presenting shared content on the other.
• For IT teams equipping several meeting rooms, the Core can serve as a purpose-built room-computing platform that can be monitored and managed remotely with Lenovo ThinkSmart Manager, reducing the need to handle each room computer individually.
