MATCH POWER 

FOR POWER. 

The new range of Lenovo ThinkStation ® 

systems with great processing power, 

is capable enough to blaze through 

intense applications.



WHY LENOVO? 

The difference in the line of Think-branded products is reliability. 

Like our Lenovo ThinkPad ® and ThinkCentre ® , the ThinkStation workstations all have quality built in. 

ThinkStation workstations are up to 21% more reliable than our top competitors. * 

Reliability starts with keeping the system and its components cool. ThinkStation workstations are engineered to 

channel maximum airflow over key components. Inspired by nature, ThinkStation workstations feature a HexPerf 

design. This honeycomb shape allows more air to enter the system than a simple circular pattern, while also 

providing superior strength to the bezel. 

In addition to keeping systems cool, we make them durable. ThinkStation workstations are tested vigorously, 

ensuring they stand up to the most demanding customer working environment and live up to the excellence 

associated with the ThinkPad and ThinkCentre name. 

The biggest highlight for us is that our reliability is being noticed by our customers. After making the switch from 

one of our competitors to ThinkStation workstations, Whirlpool has been extremely 

pleased with our reliability: 

“We encounter absolutely zero system crashes.” 

– Don Wilson, Whirlpool Senior Product Design Engineer 

RELIABILITY FOR THOSE WHO PUSH 

TECHNOLOGY AND THEMSELVES TO THE LIMIT. 

Architects, product and software designers, financial traders, medical professionals 

and engineers all need reliability, power and performance to get them to where they want to go. 

Lenovo ThinkStation workstations can take them there. 

ThinkStation workstations boast quiet, reliable, powerful solutions by keeping the system and key components 

cool with our unique HexPerf honeycomb design and multi-channel cooling. We add the latest generation of 

high-performance Intel ® Xeon ® processors with unmatched multi-core processing efficiency so your 

projects get done faster. ThinkStation workstations are tested to ensure that they stand up to 

demanding customer working environments as well as our 

rigorous standards of excellence.

ThinkStation workstations are loaded 

with the latest Intel ® Xeon ® processors 

with Turbo Boost Technology. 

They are designed to run faster and 

deliver intelligent performance. 

They make automatic adjustments based 

on usage to reduce energy consumption. 

Responsiveness is boosted with as many 

as 12 DIMM slots on 

select models. 

ThinkStation processors deliver speed and 

power at nearly undetectable operating 

noise levels. A hundred little innovations 

from tool-less chassis access and clean 

cable management to side cover latches 

and easy rack mounting, every ThinkStation 

design detail is carefully thought out. 

Special attention has been paid to the 

cooling system and its idle noise is lowered 

to a nearly undetectable 

24 decibels. 

UNLEASHES 

BUSINESS POTENTIAL 

Literally a powerhouse among 

computers, Lenovo ThinkStation 

helps businesses handle giant-sized 

applications with ease. With high-end 

3D graphics solutions and 

dual-CPU systems, it is well-equipped 

to enhance business productivity 

significantly. 

COMPUTING POWER GRAPHICS 

CLEVER, QUIET DESIGN 

ISV CERTIFICATIONS 

Lenovo works closely with leading 

software partners. ThinkStation 

workstations have received hundreds 

of Independent Software Vendor (ISV) 

certifications, ensuring you get the 

performance you need to 

run the world’s most demanding 

applications. 

Select ThinkStation 

workstations integrate NVIDIA ® 

Quadro ® professional graphics 

with SLI technology, the Tesla 

high-performance computing 

solution. They are also equipped 

to support up to 16 monitors 

simultaneously.



THINKSTATION E31 

HIGH-END PERFORMANCE, 

WELL WITHIN BUDGETS. 

ThinkStation is the only major workstation provider 

delivering computing excellence through both 

dual- and single-processor systems in a compact 

design. Having said this, the new Lenovo ThinkStation 

E31 tower and SFF (Small Form Factor) workstations 

with next generation Intel ® Core or Xeon ® processors 

are specially made for manufacturing professionals 

and others who require high-performance computing. 

Because professional results require powerful 

graphics, the ThinkStation E31 systems also 

support both Intel ® integrated graphics as well as
