Different industries have different computing requirements when it comes to their desktop and mobile workstations. For example, CAD/CAM, AI, financial analysis, and even medical research workloads all perform significantly better when accelerated by GPUs. Engineers and technicians out in the field often require laptops that have been designed to withstand the more demanding environments (e.g. in oil rigs, construction sites, extreme weather conditions), or what are often called ‘rugged laptops’.
Beyond the needs of the people using these workstations, there are often other considerations that the IT department has to keep in mind, such as ease of configuration, maintenance, and upgrading; physical and cyber security; reliability; and running costs. Hence, businesses need to be on the lookout for vendors and solution providers that can support them in meeting these various needs.
One such solution provider that businesses would do well to consider is LenovoPRO.
Besides the ground-breaking innovations that has become synonymous with the Lenovo brand, the company’s LenovoPRO programme offers members additional incentives in additional to attractive pricing and discount offers.
There are dedicated IT consultants to provide one-to-one consultation to understand your needs, the software you use, and come up with a right proposal for your organisation. Should you need deployment or set up services, these are available as well. It basically is a one-stop IT solution for all your needs – and directly from the source itself!
The Lenovo range of workstations includes the desktop ThinkStation line and the laptop ThinkPad line, both of which have been designed and engineered with performance in mind, while being produced in a sustainable manner in keeping with Lenovo’s ESG guidelines.
The ThinkStation desktop workstations provide professionals with reliable, flexible performance. Their modular design eases over-burdened IT departments by giving them the ability to update, upgrade, and replace their internal components instantly; anything with a red touch point can be removed, tool-free, in seconds.
ThinkStation desktops come in a variety of footprints to cater to industry needs, with the P360 line being especially designed to take up the least desk space and volume – the P360 Tiny takes up less than 1 litre of volume and weighs approximately 1.4kg, while still packing the latest 12th Gen Intel®Core™ processors, up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, and NVIDIA® GPUs – which supports up to NVIDIA T1000 graphic cards, as well as all the other necessary connectivity options and capabilities expected from workstations. The ideal professional device to meet the demands of architecture and engineering, finance, healthcare, STEM education, and remote work, this ISV-certified workstation packs a powerful punch, all in a pint-sized package. The powerful P360 Tiny is available starting from RM3,629, with add on services – such as smart performance – to keep the system running at optimum performance from only RM69.
If desk space is not at a premium, Lenovo’s other ThinkStation desktops provide support for Intel’s Xeon architecture, AMD’s Threadripper CPUs, and even dual-processor and dual-GPU configurations, providing more than sufficient computing power for even the most demanding workloads.

For employees on the go who need the processing grunt in a toughened package, Lenovo’s Thinkpad P-series mobile workstations offer durability & reliability with MIL-SPEC quality testing. ThinkPad workstation laptops are portable, powerful, and when properly configured, can offer faster performance than a traditional laptop. With power comparable to that of a desktop workstation, these mobile workstations are an ideal choice for engineers, designers, or other technical and creative professionals who need to get things done away from the office.
For instance, the ThinkPad P14s, which Lenovo bills as its most mobile and lightest workstation currently, still manages to support the latest 12th Gen Intel®Core™ processors and NVIDIA® GPUs, 48GB of DDR4 RAM, dual Thunderbolt ports, and a dazzling array of 14” 16:10 screen options to choose from, including one supporting a 4K (3840 x 2400) resolution. Powering applications such as AutoCAD®, Revit® and SolidWorks® without missing a beat.
The P14s gives entry-level professionals, educators, and students alike the ability to innovate freely wherever life takes you and is available starting from RM5,069. Protect your laptop from spills and common accidents with Accidental Damage protection from only RM164.
Meanwhile, content creators may wish to consider the ThinkPad P1, for professionals who wish they could carry it all with them – and they can, for the P1 supports 11th Gen Intel® Core™ or Xeon® processors, along with NVIDIA® RTX™ GPUs from both the professional as well as the consumer (GeForce) lines. Complement the graphical power with a 16″ UHD+ or QHD+ display, with a 16:10 aspect ratio, an optional touchscreen feature, built-in colour calibration and Dolby Vision™ HDR, low-blue-light technology, up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM, and 4TB of storage in the form of M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs.
P1 Gen 4 is available from RM10,059. Protect your laptop from spills and common accidents with Accidental Damage protection from only RM129 per year.
And for the true professional who wants the best of both worlds, why not pair the ThinkPad with one of Lenovo’s docking stations? When docked, the ThinkPad transforms into a powerful desktop workstation, complete with all the connectivity options one would expect including physical security features. Unplug the Thunderbolt cable, and the ThinkPad is now ready to hit the road, allowing you to carry all that computing power from the office to the home… or the studio… or anywhere else it is needed.
Regardless of form factor whether desktop or laptop, Lenovo workstations run cooler and more silently than its competitors in the same market, which helps to improve longevity – according to a study from business intelligence specialist Technology Business Research, Inc (TBR), Lenovo’s products are the most reliable in the world.
All Lenovo workstations are also ISV-certified, so businesses can be assured that their mission-critical applications can run with the specified configurations. They are also benchmark-tested to run applications up to 30% faster than competing workstations on a regular refresh cycle.
With a range that covers up to 9 desktop models and 7 laptop models, one is spoiled for choice, and understandably, may find it difficult to figure out which configuration and set of options is best for a specific workload. Never fear; Lenovo has thought of that too, and offers prospective customers a free 1:1 consultation with a dedicated IT consultant to help discover the right products for the job.
The Lenovo workstation range is now made even more attractive with the LenovoPRO programme, which provides newly joined members with a 10% welcome discount, as well as goodies worth up to RM20,000 when you make bulk purchases of more than five units through LenovoPRO.
