WHY LENOVO? The difference in the line of Think products is reliability. Like our Lenovo ThinkPad and ThinkCentre, the ThinkStation products all have quality built in. ThinkStation workstations are up to 21% more reliable than our top competitors.* Reliability starts with keeping the system and its components cool. ThinkStations are engineered to channel maximum airflow over key components. Inspired by nature, ThinkStations feature a HexPerf design. This honeycomb shape allows more air to enter the system than a simple circular pattern, while also providing superior strength to the bezel. In addition to keeping systems cool, we make them durable. ThinkStation workstations are tested vigorously, ensuring they stand up to the most demanding customer working environment and live up to the excellence associated with the ThinkStation name.

And our reliability is being noticed by our customers. After making the switch from one of our competitors to ThinkStation, Whirlpool has been extremely pleased with our reliability:

“We encounter absolutely zero system crashes.” –Don Wilson, Whirlpool Senior Product Design Engineer
