The dual launches from Lenovo comes with the recent intel chips and Nvidia graphics all segmented nice and neat within a sleek chassis. Both the offerings still resemble the ‘classic’ ThinkPad design by IBM.
Lenovo bought the ThinkPad range from IBM during 2005. The yoga line up from Lenovo proves the experimental industrial design language that it could pose on its flagships whereas the treatment for the ThinkPad lineups are more old school. Though they came up with 360-degree hinge and integrated pen slot in the previous generation ThinkPad.
Lenovo’s new ThinkPad P52s laptop has a very subtle design language. Lack of interesting elements have been concentrated on purpose to the laptop. Yet still a secret fan following still exist for the Classic design touted to be iconic all time.
They have managed to pack the huge power within a thin and light chassis. This laptop is officially the thinnest and lightest powerful multi-core mobile workstation till date.
You can choose between 8th Gen Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, and user expansion up to 32GB of RAM. The GPU used is Nvidia P500 graphics. For storage either 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD storage or a 2TB HDD.
Another launch from Lenovo’s event was the ThinkStation desktops 520 and 520c.
The duo are packed with W-Series Xeon processors. These xeon processors are clocked at high speeds of up to 4.5GHz powering from 18 processing cores all comprised in a single chip workstation. This machine can seamlessly work against any CG, VFX, video and animation task. The xeon processor can run on 10 cores at 3.3GHz speed and also can be ‘Turbo Boosted’ to a speed of 4.5GHz.
The Think Station 520 is the bigger brother of the duo which holds 256GB of DDR4/2.666GHz RAM along with that carries eight storage drives. There are two individual slots for graphics cards. This can be a powerful machine if you have the budget for it.
The younger brother ThinkStation 520c comes with a ‘C’ calling it compact. In size it is actually 30% smaller compared to 520 but in capacity it can hold a 128GB of RAM, along with a capability to carry six storage drives and a dual-height graphics card. This is a compact beast from Lenovo. We can expect these machines delivered by early 2018.
