Amsterdam, 12 november, 2007 – Lenovo heeft in samenwerking met het AT&T Williams Formule 1 team de nieuwe ThinkStation gelanceerd – een krachtige nieuwe toetreding in de PC markt en het eerste nieuwe Think merk sinds vijf jaar.
Met de introductie van de ThinkStation markeert Lenovo een periode van meer dan tien jaar sinds een grote PC fabrikant de workstation markt is toegetreden.1) De ThinkStation S10 en D10 modellen zijn ontworpen om de hoogste prestatie en betrouwbaarheid te leveren aan professionals die werkzaam zijn in de meest veeleisende data en grafisch intensieve omgevingen, zoals computer ondersteunend design / ontwerp, digitale content creatie, en olie en gas onderzoek.
Twee organisaties die in grote mate afhankelijk zijn van het gebruik van de nieuwste technologieën, de NBA en het AT&T Williams Formule 1 team, evalueren op dit moment de ThinkStation PC’s voor integratie binnen hun huidige systemen.

Lenovo Launches ThinkStation Brand in Fast Lane with the AT&T Williams Formula One Team
GROVE, OXFORDSHIRE, UK – November 6, 2007 – Lenovo partnered with the AT&T Williams Formula One team today to launch the new ThinkStation brand – a powerful new entry in the workstation PC marketplace and the first new Think brand introduced in five years.
ThinkStation marks more than ten years since a major PC vendor has entered the workstation market1. The ThinkStation S10 and D10 workstations are designed to offer Lenovo’s highest 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.
The workstations are based on the upcoming Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5400 series and Intel® Core™2 Extreme processors, the first processors based on new 45-nanometer technology that nearly doubles the density of transistors on the chips for new levels of energy-efficient performance.
Two organizations highly dependent upon using the latest technologies, the NBA and the AT&T Williams team, are evaluating the workstations for integration into their operations.
“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 will help change the way our engineers work with faster interaction and design simulation to produce the next winning car.”
Workstation Designed for Maximum Performance and Usability
The dual processor ThinkStation D10 workstation will offer the fastest Quad-Core Inte®l Xeon® processor 5400 series, while the single processor ThinkStation S10 workstation will offer the latest Intel® Core 2 processors including the Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme processor QX9650 along with the latest graphics solutions from NVIDIA. They also come equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet and multiple slots, bays and USB ports for expandability.
“Lenovo designed the ThinkStation to be the highest performance, highest quality workstation, delivering an unparalled experience for professional users who work in graphically and computationally-intensive environments where a standard desktop PC isn’t enough,” said Peter Schrady, vice president and general manager, Emerging Products Group, Lenovo. “Not only do the Lenovo workstations provide excellent performance and leading-edge acoustics, but our environmentally-responsible, user-centric design also helps to increase productivity.”
Lenovo is collaborating with leading independent software vendors to obtain the certifications that ensure seamless hardware and software interaction. Lenovo will offer a variety of storage, graphics adapters, memory and rail kits for the workstations.
“Both Lenovo and Intel understand the challenges customers face, particularly the increased performance to handle evermore complex computational problems and visualization applications,” said Pat Gelsinger, senior vice president and general manager, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel. “Lenovo and Intel combined their engineering expertise, Intel’s groundbreaking processor technology and Lenovo’s understanding of the client experience. The results are systems with greater efficiency, speed, memory and throughput to meet customers’ needs.”
Beyond the high-performance focus, Lenovo designed the workstations with the environment in mind by offering models complying with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star® 4.0 requirements to help users manage energy usage and costs. The workstations feature 80 percent 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 workstations also include illuminated front I/O ports to help users work easily in multiple system and low light conditions. For a cool and quiet experience, Lenovo’s unique thermal design provides workstation performance with the acoustics of a standard Lenovo 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.
Pricing and Availability2
The ThinkStation workstations will be available starting in January through Business Partners and
www.lenovo.com. Pricing for the ThinkStation S10 workstation will start at approximately €829 and the ThinkStation D10 workstation will start at approximately €1,199.
