Lenovo Launches New Lineup of Impressive Workstations for 3D Professionals

Just in time for Autodesk University this week in Las Vegas, Lenovo just announced some welcome new additions to their Design Engineer-favored ThinkStation product line.

The ThinkStation P520 and P250c are desktop workstations being marketed specifically for 3D designers, architects, and game developers, while the ThinkStation P52s is a mobile quad-core workstation for those on the go.

Starting with the desktop workstation, both the P520 and P520c feature Intel Xeon W processors—each of which holds up to 18 cores and have speeds of up to 4.5GHz. They even run on the same Windows 10 Pro OS.

The P520, being the stronger machine, can use up to two NVIDIA Quadro 6000 graphics cards and has a memory of 256GB. As for storage, it can hold eight drives and four internal storage bays.

The P520c, on the other hand, is meant for a more mainstream audience but still runs on an NVIDIA Quardo 5000 graphics card, has a memory of 128GB, and holds up to six drives and two internal storage bays. It’s being priced as an entry-level computer, so those who want to try their hand at 3D design might find this smaller-but-still-mighty workstation more appealing.

Finally, the ThinkStation P52s laptop carries an 8th generation Intel core processor and runs on Windows 10 Pro. The NVIDIA Quadro 500 graphics card isn’t calling for a revolution, but it most certainly gets the job done for a lot of 3D work.

All the computers feature the Lenovo Performance Tuner (LPT), which lets users fine-tune application usage to speed up specific programs they need. This includes application priority, power management, graphics, management, resource monitoring, among other options. A major plus in all of the new designs is the ability to access files using the 32GB memory before being saved on its more robust 2TB HDD storage.

If ever the computers conk out, Lenovo has included a workstation diagnostics tool which can be downloaded onto the desktop or phone which helps troubleshoot the problem. In case the computer itself won’t turn on, the phone app allows the workstation to communicate the problems to the mobile device.

Complete specs sheets for the ThinkStation P520, P520c, and P52s can all be found on Lenovo’s website.
