First Look: Lenovo ThinkStation P700 Workstation

This week, I’m digging into testing and reviewing a monster of a workstation, the Lenovo ThinkStation P700. For the longest time, I’ve prided myself on being highly mobile, but after the first few hours with the P700, I can remember the value I experienced in my previous tech life. There’s just something deeply elemental about a solid, top performing workstation that just can’t be matched with a tablet or a laptop.

The ThinkStation P700 belongs to the completely redesigned P Series family of Lenovo’s desktop workstations. It offers a huge number of customizable options, allowing you to build what you need. The P700 is designed for industries where a top performer is needed. Industries such as engineering, architectural design, complex development, CAD/CAM, animation, financial, medical imaging, or energy could benefit from this workstation. Gamers, of course, would also be interested.

Here’s the configuration I’ll be working with:

Shhh…don’t tell Lenovo, but I’ll be testing the Windows 10 upgrade on this bad boy.

The full review should be posted in the next couple weeks (I have a lot of travel this month).
