LENOVO has launched the ThinkPad P1 in South Africa, a laptop it describes as its thinnest, lightest and sleekest mobile workstation yet.
Certified for key independent software vendor (ISV) applications, the ThinkPad P1 features 8th Gen Intel Xeon and Core processors, including support for the Core i9 CPU, and delivers ECC memory support and clocks speeds up to 4.6GHz. Users can also enjoy a boost in performance with the latest NVIDIA Quadro P1000 and P2000 professional graphics cards.
In addition to its graphics and processors, this mobile workstation offers a 15-inch, 4K UHD display, representing 100% of the Adobe color gamut, as well as a touchscreen, IR camera standard, 4TB of M.2 PCIe premier storage and 64GB of memory at 2667MHz.
“When we set out to create the ThinkPad P1, we knew our challenge was to build a mobile workstation that would carry the legacy of professional power and reliability of our ThinkPad portfolio, but also meet our customer’s need for a thin, light and sleek design,” said Rob Herman, General Manager of Workstations, Lenovo.
“Whether you are looking for power, the lightest mobile workstation around or sleek and slim tech-envy, the ThinkPad P1 delivers on all counts, period.”
According to the company, this attention to detail extends to the power supply, which is 35% smaller and lighter than predecessors.
Lenovo also introduced its new ThinkPad P72, aimed at users “looking for top of the line power and performance”. It described the device as an ideal choice for users in the oil and gas, automotive and financial industries.
“A true desktop replacement, this 17-inch chassis includes the latest 8th Gen Intel Xeon and Core processors, and the most powerful NVIDIA Quadro graphics – up to P5200 – to tackle the most demanding workflows with ease. With up to 6TB of storage, 128GB of memory and 16GB of Intel Optane memory, users can handle immense data sets with vast amounts of compute power.”
The ThinkPad P1 will be available in October starting at R 27,999. Local pricing and availability of the ThinkPad P72 are not available yet.
