Build, train and run AI models on hardware you own.
The lineup covers the whole AI job. You prep the data on a ThinkPad P Series, train on a ThinkStation P Series and run the finished model on the ThinkStation PGX next to your desk, and everything stays on hardware you own until the model has earned its way into the data center.
Code, prep data and collaborate from wherever you happen to be
Train, tune and run inference, with room for more GPU and memory
Your own AI sandbox, built on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell
Turn the workstation into your AI launchpad.
A lot of the time in an AI project goes on waiting: for cloud GPUs, for budget approval, for data to move. A Lenovo workstation puts the full GPU-accelerated stack on a machine your team already owns, so you can build, test and prove the idea first and only pay for cloud once it works.
This is where you clean the data, label it, build features and open the first notebooks, which is unglamorous work that everything after it depends on.
On a ThinkPad P Series, so the work travels with you and the data never leaves the laptop.
Machine learning, deep learning and generative AI all live here, in the training runs, the architecture changes and the evaluation loop that goes round until the numbers hold up.
On a ThinkStation P Series, because training wants more GPU and memory than a laptop can carry.
Fine-tune on your own data and check the results before anyone outside the team gets to see them.
On a ThinkStation P Series or in the PGX sandbox, and in both cases it stays on premises.
Run the model locally for inference and demos, so the people who sign off can see it working without anyone needing a cloud account.
On the PGX or a ThinkStation P Series, and once the model is proven you hand it off to the data center or the cloud.
What you get is faster experiments, clearer economics and a lot less friction on the way to real AI.
Every stage runs on hardware you already own, so one more iteration costs nothing extra. Training data stays in the building until the model has proven it's worth scaling.
Four reasons AI teams move faster on Lenovo.
Bring AI closer to the data, the developer and the decision.
The compute is only part of it, because the whole platform is built around how a dev team actually works, so the hours go into the model and not into the setup.
The range runs from a single laptop GPU to a twin-GPU tower, all with NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs and big memory configurations, so you pick the machine that fits the model instead of squeezing the model into the machine.
What it means in practice: A 14-inch ThinkPad takes care of data prep and light inference, while a ThinkStation P5 Gen 2 with two RTX 6000 Blackwell GPUs and up to 1 TB of memory does the heavy training.
You prototype, fine-tune and run inference in a sandbox you control, which keeps the training data and the IP on your own premises for as long as you want them there.
What it means in practice: Confidential or regulated data never leaves your own network, even while a model is being fine-tuned and tested on it.
The platforms are NVIDIA and Linux certified and run the open-source tools, libraries and frameworks your developers already use, so there is nothing to relearn and nothing to rebuild when you move to a bigger machine.
What it means in practice: The same PyTorch, Jupyter and container setup runs on the laptop, the tower and the PGX, so a project moves between them without anything being rebuilt.
Because the hardware is a fixed cost, ten experiments cost the same as a thousand, and you only start paying for cloud once the model has proven the business case.
What it means in practice: The exploratory phase, where plenty of experiments are supposed to fail, runs at a fixed cost, and cloud spend is kept for the models that have earned it.
One AI journey, with a portfolio that grows alongside it.
A project starts on the laptop your team already carries, moves up to a tower when the model wants more, and goes to the PGX when it's time to prove it. All three share the same certified software environment, so nothing has to be rebuilt on the way up.
You develop, prep data and collaborate from anywhere, and with RTX PRO laptop GPUs and up to 192 GB of memory in the P16 Gen 3, the first training and inference runs happen on the same machine you carry into the meeting.
Training, tuning and inference get serious GPU and memory: up to two RTX 6000 Blackwell GPUs and 1 TB of DDR5 in the P5 Gen 2, or a single 96 GB RTX PRO 6000 in the P4.
The PGX is a local AI sandbox built on the NVIDIA GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip, with 128 GB of unified memory and the NVIDIA AI software stack already installed. It is where you prototype, fine-tune and run inference before anything touches production.
Lenovo AI Developer pairs the workstation with NVIDIA AI Workbench.
NVIDIA AI Workbench is a free development platform for data science, machine learning and generative AI that runs across local machines and remote compute. Lenovo AI Developer pairs it with a workstation sized for each stage of the journey, so the environment is sorted before anyone trains a model.
Smarter AI development
A click-through installer gets a GPU-accelerated ThinkStation or ThinkPad ready in minutes.
You can work from the command line or the GUI, whichever you prefer, and neither gets in your way.
Developers start in JupyterLab or Visual Studio Code, with Git versioning and containers built in from the first commit.
Gradio and Streamlit apps run locally, and you can tweak them on the fly.
Teams work through GitHub, GitLab or a self-hosted GitLab.
A project moves from a ThinkPad P Series with an RTX PRO GPU to a multi-GPU ThinkStation P Series, and on to the data center, with one click.
Smarter AI deployment
Setup is automated for GPU environments, so a new machine matches the rest of the team's without anyone hand-installing drivers and libraries.
Workflows can be reproduced, shared and scaled up or down, and they move between environments with their versioning and credentials intact.
AI Workbench installs and manages generative AI resources, tracks what each project uses, and gives you a clean UI with a full CLI underneath.
The certified platforms are Lenovo ThinkPad, ThinkStation, ThinkSystem and cloud, so the same project definition runs from your laptop to the server room.
It runs on the tools your developers already use.
These are some of the models, environments, frameworks and repos that run on Lenovo AI Developer workstations, and the full list is a good deal longer.

A ThinkStation chassis co-designed with Aston Martin.
Lenovo designed the ThinkStation P Series chassis together with one of its own customers, Aston Martin. The brief was to reflect Lenovo's red design language, deliver the highest possible performance and make the machine easy to customize, which is simple to say and hard to do.
Designers from both companies worked on it side by side and ended up with a tool-less chassis that you can open, reconfigure and close without reaching for a screwdriver, designed around flexibility, ergonomics and airflow.
Lenovo is the Official Workstation Partner of Aston Martin.
What that design gives you, in numbers.
The side cover, the memory, the 3.5-inch drives and the PCIe cards all come out and go back in without tools, so when a model outgrows the first build you add the second GPU or more storage yourself.
Three PCIe 5.0 and three PCIe 4.0 slots, two of them sized for double-width cards, which is how the P5 Gen 2 fits two RTX 6000 Blackwell GPUs side by side.
Seven drives, a mix of 3.5-inch bays and M.2 slots, take the P5 Gen 2 to 52 TB, so the dataset and every checkpoint stay inside the box instead of on a server down the hall.
A 33-liter tower that weighs up to 19 kg fully loaded, laid out so air reaches two GPUs and a 48-core Xeon through a training run that lasts all night, and it still moves and opens easily.
12 methods and 22 procedures.
AI hardware doesn't always sit at a desk, since it also rides along to customer sites, works on factory floors and runs flat out for hours. That is why every ThinkPad P Series is tested against 12 MIL-SPEC methods and 22 procedures of MIL-STD-810H, the military standard for mechanical stress, environmental exposure and temperature extremes.
High acceleration, repeated shock pulses and transit drop
Tested while running and while turned off
Tested with 140 mesh silica dust and silica sand
28 days of exposure to common fungus sources
Tested for operation at 4,572 m (15,000 ft)
Seven 24-hour cycles of simulated UV radiation
Operation in a fuel vapor environment
91 to 98% relative humidity at 30 to 60 °C
Storage at −25 °C for 24 h, operation at −21 °C for 8 h
Storage at 63 °C for 24 h, operation at 43 °C for 8 h

4 to 33 Hz for 2 hours
Lenovo's Zero Trust security portfolio
ThinkShield protects the workstation from the supply chain to the desk.
An AI team's workstation holds the training data and the model built from it, which is often the most sensitive material in the company, and it lives under someone's desk. ThinkShield is how Lenovo protects that machine, in four layers, and each layer is a real product with a name rather than a promise.
Four layers, from the day the machine is built to the day it is retired.
ThinkShield Build Assure verifies that the machine you receive is the machine Lenovo built. The components inside are tracked, the device is checked as authentic and it is confirmed to have arrived untampered, so trust begins before the box is opened.
Every ThinkPad and ThinkStation tower on this page carries a TPM 2.0 security chip and a self-healing BIOS, which restores its own firmware if it is corrupted or attacked. Fleet-wide, Firmware Assurance checks that each machine still runs the firmware Lenovo shipped, and Hardware Defense catches rogue devices.
ThinkShield XDR*, built with SentinelOne, watches behavior rather than known signatures, so ransomware, phishing and data theft are stopped as they start. You sign in with a fingerprint or your face instead of a password, and the fingerprint is matched on the sensor's own chip.
Lenovo Expert team provides protection and support for Lenovo Workstation users. It is handled seamlessly by the Lenovo Premier Support team 24/7.
What is built into each machine.
Lenovo publishes a specification sheet for every model. This is the security section of all of them, side by side, so you can see what your machine will have without reading eight PDFs.
All of this protection comes from one partner.
ThinkShield keeps evolving across hardware, software and services, and it does so without getting in the way of the people doing the work. The machine that trains your model is protected by the same company that built it, and the same company you call when something goes wrong.
Premier Support keeps the workstation working, and the budget predictable.
When a workstation dies mid-training, nobody wants a ticket queue. Premier Support gives you 24/7/365 access to Premier Support accredited engineers, wherever the work happens. Monitoring catches problems before they turn into emergencies, so there are fewer urgent repairs and the support budget stays predictable.

Nine workstations cover the range from a 1.29 kg laptop to a dual-GPU tower.
Each of these is built for a different point in the AI workflow, from prepping data and running inference on the move, to training at a desk, to a dedicated sandbox next to the workstation you already have. Whatever the job, the three numbers that decide what a machine can do with a model are the GPU, the memory and the processor, so those are what every card leads with.

Lenovo workstations work best with ThinkVision P Series monitors.
An AI workstation spends its day showing dense data, code, generated images and dashboards, and the monitor is the one part of the setup a developer stares at for hours, so our advice is to pair every ThinkStation and ThinkPad P Series on this page with a ThinkVision P Series Gen 40 and make the display side of the setup as serious as the compute side.
All seven Gen 40 models share the four things that matter for a day of AI work.
Every model ships with an average Delta E under 2, so the colors on screen are the colors in the file. The 27-inch and larger panels cover 98% of DCI-P3, and the two 24-inch models cover 99% of sRGB.
Variable refresh up to 120 Hz on every model, which you notice the first time you scroll through a long training log or a wide dataframe.
The five D models dock a ThinkPad over one USB-C or Thunderbolt 4 cable, which carries video, USB, a 2.5GbE network connection and up to 140 W of power. A KVM switch lets one keyboard and mouse serve a second machine.
All seven carry Eyesafe 2.0 and TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort certification, which matters when the screen stays on from the first notebook of the morning to the last log of the evening.
Which one goes on which desk.
The model name mostly tells you. The number is the size, W means ultra-wide, U means 4K, Q means QHD, and a D at the end means the monitor docks a laptop.
A notebook on the left, training curves or model output on the right, and no bezel down the middle. This is the pick for anyone who wants to keep a training job in view while working on something else.
Dense dashboards, generated images at their native resolution, four terminals side by side on one screen. This is the pairing we show for the P5 Gen 2 and the P4 below, and the one to choose when review work is a large part of the day.
Data prep, notebooks, a second screen, shared desks. Take a D model when a ThinkPad will plug into it, and the plain Q model for a tower that brings its own ports. The P27QD-40 is the one sitting next to the PGX in the photo above.
A training run gives you a lot to watch at once, from loss curves to GPU load to the logs themselves, and a 31.5-inch 4K panel holds all of it at a readable size.
The P4 spends its days fine-tuning and serving, so the review work is looking at outputs, and 4K at 98% DCI-P3 with a Delta E under 2 means the image you review is the image the model produced.
The PGX sits next to a workstation you already have, which is exactly what the P27QD-40's KVM switch is for: one keyboard and mouse shared between both machines, and a swap at the press of a button.
