Lenovo Introduces ThinkStation E31

By DE Editors

Lenovo announced the Lenovo ThinkStation E31, an entry-level workstation for professionals requiring a powerful desktop workstation within a PC budget. Offered as a mini-tower or small form factor (SFF), both versions include choices of the latest Intel Xeon Processor E3 along with enhanced memory performance and graphics capabilities.

The ThinkStation E31 tower and SFF feature the Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v2 product family or third generation Intel Core i7 Processor. Users also benefit from the workstations Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory, which virtually eliminates memory-related failures, as well as 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory DIMMs, for application responsiveness and the ability to multitask without slowing down. Adding to the productivity features of this workstation is the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports that provide up to 10x faster transfer rates over USB 2.0.

Both models offer professional graphics capabilities with the option of Intel HD Graphics P4000 or NVIDIA Quadro Graphic cards (up to the Q4000 in the tower model and Q600 in the SFF). The E31 ThinkStation can handle end users large storage needs with up to 9TB of storage for the tower model, or 6TB on the Small Form Factor. Equipped with Windows 7 Professional, the ThinkStation E31 workstation supports a variety of independent software vendor (ISV) applications for professionals in the engineering, design and financial services industry, including Adobe, AutoDesk, Dassault, PTC, Solidworks and Siemens.

The workstations eco-conscious design offers up to a 92 percent efficient power supply, as well as Energy Star 5.2, 80 Plus Platinum, EPEAT Gold and GREENGUARD certifications.
