Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2 Compute Unit, Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (12X3S00502)
This Lenovo ThinkSmart Core Gen 2 unit supplies the compute layer for a Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms deployment, built on an Intel Core Ultra 7 165H processor with an integrated NPU. As return-to-office initiatives bring more employees back into shared spaces, many meeting rooms are still running compute hardware that's 5 or 6 years old or older, well before today's AI-enabled meeting features were part of the picture. This unit gives IT teams a way to refresh that compute layer without replacing the room's camera, audio, or existing Logitech Tap controller.
This SKU is compute-only. It does not include a Logitech Tap controller, so confirm whether your room already has one or needs it ordered separately to complete the control and compute layer. Confirm which room platform (Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms) you're deploying before ordering, since the operating system and certification path depend on that configuration.

VideoConferenceGear.com Assistance
We can help confirm which room platform (Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms) this unit should be configured for, and whether your room's existing Tap controller, camera, and audio can be retained in a refresh versus needing to be ordered alongside it.
Common Questions
Can this be used to refresh a room instead of replacing everything?
Yes. Since it's compute-only, it can replace an aging PC while the room's existing Tap controller, camera, and audio stay in place, provided that hardware is still current and platform-certified.
Does this include a Logitech Tap controller?
No. This is a compute-only unit. A Tap controller must be ordered separately or already be in place.
What processor does this run?
An Intel Core Ultra 7 165H on the Intel vPro platform, with an integrated NPU for AI-enabled features.
How is this managed after deployment?
Through Lenovo ThinkSmart Manager.
