Lenovo unveils the ThinkPad P50s and the ThinkStation P310
Lenovo has announced new products in its ThinkPad and ThinkStation series, with the models launching early next year including the ThinkPad P40 Yoga 2-in-1, the ThinkPad P50s mobile workstation and the powerful ThinkStation P310 desktop.
Lenovo ThinkPad P50s
Unlike the ThinkPad P50, which featured a 4K display, an Intel Xeon processor and started at $1,599, the ThinkPad 50s is a much more affordable device. The Lenovo ThinkPad P50s comes with a non-touch 15.6-inch screen with up to a 3K (2880 x 1620) resolution. The P50s comes with a Intel Core i7 CPU and Nvidia Quadro 500M graphics and you can install 32GB of RAM. Lenovo is also offering the notebook with its Power Bridge technology, which allows you to attach an external battery that doubles battery life to 17 hours. Lenovo has said that the starting model in the ThinkPad P50s series will retail for $1,299.
Lenovo ThinkStation P310
The ThinkStation P310 is a workstation that can be configured with an Intel Xeon E3-1200v5 CPU, up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM and 512GB M.2 SSDs or a 1TB SSD. The slimmer small form factor variant can be loaded with up to two Nvidia K1200 GPUs while the roomier full tower machine supports anything up to dual Nvidia M4000 graphics cards. ThinkStation P310 will come in two variants, tower or small form-factor (SFF). The ThinkStation P310 will also be available in the first quarter of 2016, with prices starting at $729.
