Lenovo thinks they have unveiled one product, the ThinkStation E31 workstation, but from the photos they sent us it looks like two distinct work horses to us. We like the looks of both.
The budget workstation is available as full siz tower, as well as compact one. Whichever you choose, both support up to 32GB of RAM and are available with either an Intel Xeon E3-1200 CPU or a range of Ivy Bridge processors. Regardless of the size, you’ll get nine USB ports, including four USB 3.0! They can run Windows 7 / XP, they’re Windows 8-ready, and can run Red Hat Linux too.
The full-size tower, due to the extra space, can accommodate up to three HDDs, or 9TB of hard drive storage, while the smaller model has room for two HDDs, or 6TB of space. Bioth have options of SSD drives
On the graphics front, both can sport with HD P4000 solution. The max offering of NVIDIA Quadro Q4000 graphics on the tower, and Quadro Q600 on the smaller unit. Intrigued?
Both systems will start at $629, with the fuller-sized tower arriving on June 5th and the compact model following on June 13th.
