The P330 and its variants are very popular in the second hand tiny/mini pc market esp. with home server enthusiasts. But they are 8th and 9th gen Intel cpus.
So what are the modern equivalent models to the P330 like say with 12th gen and above? Are there even anything with a pcie slot now or with a 2.5gbe LAN port? Both new and old.
or are we just stuck with the mini PCs like the NUCs?
Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Tiny (12th-gen) is the successor to the P330 Tiny. Has a PCIe 4.0 x8 (low-profile) slot via Lenovo’s riser. There’s also the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny / P3 Tiny Gen 2 (13th/14th-gen) which keeps the low-profile PCIe slot and adds options for extra Ethernet, including up to 2.5GbE.
On the HP front, there’s HP Z2 Mini G9 (12th-gen), a tiny workstation with PCIe Gen4 x16 mechanical / x8 electrical low-profile slot (riser).
There are some.

There are other Beelink products that are especially tailored for NAS applications.
Besides Beelink there are several other Chinese companies doing this. Minisforum and the like.
Well there’s also Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 5 in AMD side of things.
There are modern options just visit the manufacture sites, of course, you’ll have to pay a premium.
I meant in the second hand market what we can get in the 12th gen like that.
Highly unlikely. MNCs or even small corporate or companies would refresh their hardware after five years. my company just got those Dell tiny with 12th gen i3-5chips last year.
They won’t dump those in next 4-5 years because it’s only used for VDI access.
Yup exactly with tiny PCs the warranty cycle is 4-5 years depending on brand and with laptop it’s 3 years. The thin clients and tiny PCs I bought till now have come from so many different companies. These guys don’t even wipe the system before dumping these machines.
That’s the IT dept not doing its duty properly.
@aasimenator Did have 12 Gen earlier . You can contact him if you want one
I think op is looking for something similar to p330 and m70q.
So m90q and p360 tiny would be direct successors.
Else there are many mini pcs out there.
2nvme, pcie slot is what we looking at.
