THE NO-COMPROMISE SPACE

Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Ultra

With an innovative space-saving design, Lenovo’s new compact desktop workstation brings new possibilities to the workspaces of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) professionals.

For years desktop workstations were bulky towers that took up lots of space. The inevitable drive towards miniaturisation saw machines shrink down, but there was always a trade-off in performance, particularly when it came to graphics-intensive workflows like real-time visualisation, virtual reality (VR) and GPU rendering. This all changes with the Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Ultra, a compact sub-4-litre workstation with a mighty CPU, a choice of powerful pro GPUs, including the NVIDIA RTX™ A5000 Laptop GPU, lots of memory, and levels of performance you’d expect from a full-sized tower. It means architects, engineers and construction professionals can benefit from the space saving design, without having to limit their workflows.

The ThinkStation P360 Ultra can be used throughout the design to construction process, from reality capture and Building Information Modelling (BIM) all the way through to engineering simulation, ray trace rendering, visualisation and beyond. This is explored in more detail in the article on the previous page.

But why is this compact workstation so desirable to architects, engineers and construction professionals, and why is it particularly relevant today?

The hybrid workplace

Over the last couple of years, Covid has led to a huge shift in working patterns. More people than ever are working from home. For many, Tuesday to Thursday is the new office working week.

But architects, engineers and construction professionals don’t want to make compromises when it comes to performance. They demand the exact same experience from their workstation
