The new Lenovo ThinkStation E31 tower and small form factor (SFF) workstations provide the high-performance Intel® Core and Xeon® processors and error-correcting memory to deliver the professional results you need at an entry-class price point. Professional results require powerful graphics and the E31 systems supports both Intel integrated graphics as well as discrete graphic options from NVIDIA.
The E31 offers a reliable, green workstation solution, with the E31 SFF offering a compact design at only 11L. Both E31 workstations are environmentally friendly, offering up to 92-percent power efficiency. Equipped with Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory, which virtually eliminates all memory-related failure, the E31 ThinkStation also supports 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory DIMMs to boost productivity. And the ISV applications you depend on are certified and supported on the E31, including Autodesk, Adobe, Dassault Systémes and PTC and Siemens.
