Computer maker Lenovo has unveiled two new desktop workstations aimed at digital content creators, CAD and design professionals, and computing-intensive professions like oil and gas exploration. The new ThinkStation S20 and D20 feature high-end Intel Xeon processors, ATI or Nvidia graphics, and are pre-loaded with Windows Vista with support for RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.2. And the workstations are greener than ever, using over 50 percent recycled content—and on the D20, 30 percent of that is post-consumer and equivalent to the weight of about 19 water bottles. Lenovo says the workstations are also Greenguard certified, meeting standards for more than 2,000 chemical and hazardous substance tests.

It’s common knowledge that the move that put Chinese computer-maker Lenovo on the map was buying IBM’s ThinkPad notebook line: Lenovo has embraced and enhanced that line, but really hasn’t worked to leverage the “Think” brand beyond tbe boundaries established by IBM. Well, no more: today, the company announced it plans to enter the PC workstation market with the ThinkStation S10 and D10 desktops, which represent the first new “Think” brand to be introduced in five years.

“For professional users of graphically and computationally-intensive applications who require a level of performance unattainable with a standard desktop PC, ThinkStation is Lenovo’s best engineering at work,” said Lenovo’s executive director of emerging products marketing, Tom Tobul, in a statement.
