Don’t let that headline fool you: although Lenovo
technically just unveiled one product, the Think Station E31 workstation, it
actually shoehorned two distinct machines into one press release. Behold: a
budget workstation available as a conventionally sized 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
of the 3.0 variety. And, in addition to Windows 7 / XP, they’re Windows
8-ready, and can run Red Hat as well.
It’s at this juncture, though, that the specs start to
diverge, with the heftier machine naturally offering more expandability. The
full-size tower, for instance, can accommodate up to three HDDs, or 9TB of hard
drive storage, while the smaller number makes room for two HDDs, or 6TB of
space. (Either way, you can opt for solid-state drives.) On the graphics front,
both will be offered with Intel’s HD P4000 solution, but the upgrade options
once again differ: expect a max offering of NVIDIA Quadro Q4000 graphics on the
tower, and Quadro Q600 on the smaller guy. Intrigued? Both systems will start
at $629, with the fuller-sized tower arriving on June 5th and the compact model
following on June 13th.
