Lenovo has been quite active over the past few months (it's been in the news almost on a weekly basis), and now, it seems that the company is back with yet another very interesting offering, namely its ThinkStation E30 workstation.

The new desktop computer offers users several choices of dual and quad-core 2nd generation Intel Core processors (Sandy Bridge platform), fully leveraging the Intel Turbo Boost technology that grants some extra power when the task at hand requires it.

Furthermore, the workstation also offers plenty of options to choose from in terms of storage, whether we're talking about SATA III HDDs or SSDs (the latter used mostly as the primary drives, for faster operation), as well as up to 16 GB of 1333 mHz DDR 3 memory.

Additionally, the system can be equipped with NVIDIA Quadro or NVS graphics, delivering a very good level of power for professional users, especially those actively involved in the field of engineering, design, graphics, etc.

Naturally, in order to also deliver fast and easy access to one's data stored onto external drives, the ThinkStation E30 also sports a built-in USB 3.0 interface, that touts very fast data transfer speeds, up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

“The ThinkStation E30 workstation builds on our strong workstation platform, combining new rapid processing for data-crunching with more vivid and intense graphics capabilities," said Tao Gu, executive director and general manager, Workstation Business Unit, Lenovo, who also added that "we created the ThinkStation E30 workstation to offer extremely powerful processing on a software-certified solution at desktop prices."

Lenovo's new ThinkStation E30 is slated to hit the shelves at some point in May, the starting price being set at approximately $629, which is actually quite OK, all things considered, although users who're looking for a lot more computing power will certainly have to cough up a higher amount of money in order to be able to enjoy it.
