All major workstation brands can provide the CAD-certified computer and graphics processing power you need. But because of an unmatched attention to detail, Lenovo comes out ahead of the competition with a well-deserved reputation for best overall reliability, speed, and energy efficiency. Learn why theres no comparison when it comes to Lenovo ThinkStation workstationsand how they enable you to perform at your best.
Customer Comments
The ThinkStation really does have brute force. Graham Young, Head of Information & Design Systems, Foster + Partners
Professional-strength, ISV-certified workstations from Lenovo deliver the power and reliability CAD pros need to handle 3D models, massive assemblies, and intense simulation and rendering. Your peak performance is Lenovos top priority, which is why all ThinkStation workstations provide you with high-performance Intel Xeon and Core CPUs, powerful NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards, and DDR3 Error-Code Correcting (ECC) memory to eliminate memory-related failures. Whatever CAD application youre usingfrom AutoCAD to Siemens NX Lenovo offers a
As part of the business-case justification for the switchover [to Lenovo], we estimated a productivity increase of around 2%...We have come to realise that we may have massively underestimated this, in fact a figure ten times that might be a little nearer the mark. Alan Duerden, Lead Systems Engineer, McLaren Technology Centre
ThinkStation designed to help you do your best work: Offering the best affordability-to-power ratio, the ThinkStation E30 is perfect for working in 2D or light 3D without simulation More intensive 3D users, who work in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Creo with light simulation, or in CATIA or NX without simulation, will want the power and performance found in the ThinkStation S20 For power users, who do heavy simulation and automatic ray tracing, Lenovos top-of-the-line, dual-processor C20X and D20 workstations let you perform at your full potential
Do More, Faster
The last thing you want to do is wait around for renderings when youre testing concepts and validating scenarios. Thats why Lenovo ThinkStations help you design, analyze, and simulate faster than anything else. All Lenovo workstations help you get more done, more accurately, in less time. The latest Intel processors are beyond fast: Designed for intelligent performance and energy efficiency, they automatically adjust to your specific usage needs. To amp up responsiveness, Lenovo has made room for up to 12 DIMM slots. The D20 can hold up to five hard drives, and select models can support up to eight monitors at once. All Lenovo workstations also offer EE, an exclusive, enhanced experience for Windows 7. Lenovo worked closely with Microsoft to engineer workstations that deliver significantly faster boot-up and shutdown times, as well as hardware and software innovations to help you work more productively.

We havehad a very positive reaction from the design office. Everyone was looking forward to getting the new [Lenovo] equipment, and anyone who now has the new kit has certainly not been disappointed. Ian Robinson, McLaren Group IS Director
Being able to take all the punishment you can dish out is another way Lenovo workstations dramatically diminish downtime. Rigorous voltage, shock, vibration, and drop tests ensure that your Lenovo workstations are rock-solid. Whats more, an innovative thermal design and optimized fan placement maximize cool air delivery throughout the system to reduce the risk of hardware failureeven if youre loading your workstation up with maximum processing power.
Lenovo vs. Dell & HP: Lenovo Leads in Cooling Lenovos D20 and S20 workstations offer an innovative dual channel design for greater thermal performance and longer life A better thermal design in Lenovos C20x means that theres less cabling in the air-flow channels than in HPs Z600 or Dells T5500 Lenovos E30 offers larger cooling fans than HPs Z210 and Dells T1600
