With partner with AT&T Williams Formula One, Lenovo has launched a new ThinkStation that extends the company’s 15-year-old Think product lineup. The new ThinkStation S10 and D10 workstations offer the ultimate performance and reliability for professionals in the most demanding data and graphics intensive environments, such as computer aided design/engineering, digital content creation, oil and gas exploration and electronic design automation. These workstations further extend Lenovo’s portfolio in the professional computing space.

The ThinkStation dual processor D10 and single processor S10 workstations offer the fastest Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor 5400 series and Intel Core 2 Extreme processor QX9650, respectively with both processors are based on new 45-nanometer manufacturing process that nearly doubles the density of transistors on the chips for new levels of energy-efficient performance, large hard drives and the latest graphics solutions from NVIDIA. They also come equipped with fast connectivity with dual Gigabit Ethernet and multiple slots, bays and USB ports for expandability.

“We run our motorsports business like our cars - fast, accurate and innovative,” said Alex Burns, chief operating officer, Williams F1. “We’ve relied on Lenovo to diagnose, repair and push the limit on racing performance. In an ongoing battle to be next in the victory lane, Lenovo’s new ThinkStation workstations are helping change the way our engineers work with faster interaction and design simulation to produce the next winning car.”

Beside the high-performance, the ThinkStation also comply with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star 4.0 requirement which features 80% efficient power supplies. Additionally, they contain more than 50 percent recycled plastics content.

The workstations also incorporate usability along with cutting-edge performance. Lenovo’s user-centric design includes a removable top handle for moving the workstation easily in a variety of work environments as well as a side cover latch for easy access to the system. The workstation also includes illuminated front I/O ports to help users work more easily in multiple system and low light conditions. For a cool and quiet experience, Lenovo designed a unique dual channel thermal system that pulls outside air over the processors providing the workstations with the acoustics equivalent to Lenovo’s standard desktop PC.

To help increase user productivity and reduce system downtime, the workstations come equipped with a range of ThinkVantage Technologies including Rescue and Recovery, Client Security System and Image Ultra Builder. These unique productivity tools help reduce the total cost of system ownership.
