Just this past summer in 2019, Lenovo has released a powerful, tower enabled workstation. There are two new models: the P920 and P9720. The latter features parallel-processing capability and gives users with huge storage options. Since it is a workstation, the Lenovo ThinkStation P720 comes with multiple Independent Software Vendor Certifications to ensure that the most critical applications will run efficiently and reliably on the user’s chosen hardware, enhancing user experience and providing optimal performance.
Lenovo describes this machine as being “built to last” and with “unparalleled versatility”. It features a superior modular design. With the addition of Flex Trays, it can hold up to two drives per bay. Patented “Tri-Channel Cooling” keeps each component nice and cool. It ensures that cool air is always surrounding the essential hardware components. There is also a small, redesigned air baffle feature that provides protection for high-density memory configurations. Thanks to the superior cooling technology, this Lenovo workstation uses fewer fans to stay cooler than the competition, thus allowing the machine to continue to run continuously. Users won’t have to worry about downtime.
