Performance you can count on
Fuelled by the latest Intel® Xeon® processors and NVIDIA Quadro® graphics, ThinkStation P520 delivers jaw-dropping performance and stunning visuals. Whether it's computer-aided drafting or 3D animation software, use the processing and visual muscle to boost your creativity and productivity to new levels.
Configurable and reliable
Your P520 can be configured to meet your specific needs. Choose up to 256 GB of memory, a variety of I/O configurations, and from a choice of storage options. One thing you don't have to worry about is reliability, which is built in as standard on every ThinkStation.
Hassle-free, tool-free
Should you ever need to swap any components, there’s no need to worry about tools and screws. Simply slide off the side panel and away you go. You may also wish to know that we can help automate many of the manual tasks associated with deploying new machines, from asset tagging to custom image loading.
Get more done, quickly and easily
With our patented Tri-Channel Cooling technology, the P520 manages internal air flow and power supply better than most workstations. As a result, it runs more smoothly and efficiently—even when handling large workloads. The P520 also supports RAID virtualisation technology and has two M.2 PCIe SSD slots embedded in the motherboard, enabling you to enjoy blistering-fast storage speeds.
Ready for anything, real or virtual
With virtual reality (VR), almost anything's possible—from revolutionary designs to stunning special effects to highly complex simulations. With the powerful P520 and top-of-the range, high-performance NVIDIA Quadro® graphics (optional), a truly immersive VR experience awaits.
Better for the planet - and your bottom line
The P520 meets some of the world's most comprehensive environmental standards. A GREENGUARD®-certified workstation, it has also been rated EPEAT Gold, ENERGY STAR 6.1, and up to 80 PLUS® Platinum PSU. And as a result of its energy efficiency, the P520 can even help lower your utility bills.
A helping hand when you need it
You’ll be able to keep your P520 running at its peak thanks to Lenovo Workstation Diagnostics. Available for both desktop and smartphone, this intelligent app can help you diagnose and troubleshoot potential system issues by providing step-by-step guidance on optimal system performance.
