Lenovo is bringing its Think- line-up onto the desktop and into the office for 2011 with the ThinkStation E30 and ThinkCentre M81.

The E30 is an upgrade on last year’s E20 and features a selection of 2nd generation Intel Core processors alongside an Intel Xeon processor.
The ThinkStation also comes with a choice of NVIDIA Quadro or NVS graphics cards for visual performance.
Continuing the trend for speed is the SATA III and optional USB 3.0 ports for high-speed connectivity in file transfering and portable media.
The ThinkCentre M81 also features Intel Core processors, up to 160GB SSD storage and optional SATA III and USB 3.0 ports.
The M81 deviates with a choice of Intel HD graphics or ATI discrete Radeon graphics cards.
Both the E30 and M81 are optimised for quick processing and business functionality with some in-house Lenovo software and bundled tools.
Similarly to other Think- notebooks and laptop computers, these PCs run Lenovo’s ‘Enhanced Experience’ program for Windows 7 that features a quick boot-up time.
Other business-centric additives include security options such as port disablement and hardware password managing software for encrypted hard drives.
The Lenovo ThinkStation E30 workstation and ThinkCentre M81 desktop will both be available this May, with the E30 starting at prices around $1,699 and the M81 starting at around $1,649.
