Lenovo announced new mobile workstations with the new Xeon chip and Thunderbolt 3

[kameshss]

Today at the SIGGRAPH 2015 Conference and Exhibition, Lenovo unveiled some new mobile workstations. The new ThinkPad P series are aimed at high-end professionals who need a lot of compute on the go. There are two models, with the P50 being a 15.6-inch version, which is a follow-on to the W541. The larger P70 features a 17.3-inch display. Both can pack some serious specifications under the hood.

 

 

 

 

 

I thinks this is the first laptop to have 4k display in a 17" screen.

 

Both models, the P50 and P70 going to be powered by Intel Xeon E3-1500M v5, a Skylake processor with 47W TDP and the GPU will be Nvidia QUADRO (Model No unknown). It is going to have 64GB DDR4-2133 ECC memory. <3 

 

It can have SSD upto 1TB - PCIe

and HDD upto 2TB.

 

Both the laptop can be configured with FHD IPS or UHD (4k) IPS display with X-Rite Pantone Color Correction.

 

It even has 2 USB Type-C Thunderbolt 3 ports.

 

4 USB 3.0, MDP 1.2 port and HDMI 1.4 port.

 

It has Intel 8260 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.11.

 

Gigabit Ethernet, yeah.

 

4G sim support.

 

Here is the specs.

 

 

 

 

The choice of OS are Windows 10 Pro, Windows 8.1 Pro or downgrade rights to Windows 7 Professional, Ubuntu and RHEL. You can choose any one from this.

After there recent scandals. I don't think I could ever consider purchasing a product from them. 64GB of ECC DDR4 Ram in laptop is cool but useless since you would most likely have a desktop system that would dwarf that laptop in performance.

What Scandal? I don't know anything about that.

Scandal Second time in a row. They haven't changed

I just don't really see what kind of market they're aiming these at. Wouldn't somebody that is constantly on the move but needs powerful data crunching be better off with a highly portable machine that can remotely access a normal workstation that wouldn't run out of battery life or encounter thermal throttling issues?

and it is on today's WAN Show.....

I'm kinda disappointed by the lack of HDMI 2.0 (instead of HDMI 1.4). Nvidia's had it on their 900 series for the better part of a year now, isn't it about time the quadros have caught up?

 

 

Thx for reminding me that. I will add this to OP.

Kind of disappointed too with the lack of HDMI 2.0, I don't know why it was not featured on notebooks as well...

 

Thunderbolt 3 already supports HDMI 2.0, just get an adapter and done.

This and an ePCIe solution (Thunderbolt 3) and you're probably set for life...

'That keyboard nipple thing' is called a Track Point and it is the objectively worst pointing device implementation known to man.

FTFY

I liked the Trackpoint especially when the trackpad that came with my old laptop couldn't track my fingers for shit.

It was on an old Toshiba laptop though.

Neither Superfish nor  the latest BIOS crapware affected Thinkpads. It's only a problem on Lenovo's consumer lineups. link

And yeah, it's a crappy thing for a company to do, but ruling out Lenovo leaves you with very few choices for professional grade laptops.

Dell and HP are both part of that NSA hardware implant programme, so that only leaves what,  Fujitsu Lifebooks and Toshiba Porteges?
