[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered a ThinkStation P620 in order to do engineering/CAD as part of my job as a consultant. When I received the machine, I powered it up and attempted to complete the initial setup, and so forth During the setup procedure, the PC would repeatedly power off and restart (Black Screen). I entered a service request, and a technician came to my house and replaced the system board. Afterward, the PC would not complete POST and would remain in a non-functional state. I have requested a full replacement. To date (4 days) ago the shipping status has not been updated (although I was told on the phone it would arrive this coming Wednesday. I am very discouraged with having been sold an expensive non-functional PC. If any sort of pre-ship burn-in (or simple power-on test) had been performed the failure would have been caught and I would not have lost over a week of billable time (easily more than the cost of the machine), had to explain to my clients my I can't complete their work, and so forth. It has cost me time, money, and reputation. I am hoping I will receive what I paid for this coming Wednesday. It would go a long way if 1. Lenovo would commit to a delivery time, 2. make some compensation for their mistake, for example, upgrading the memory, or processor.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High end workstation for complex computer graphics and fluid simulations. Pairing an AMD Threadripper with an RTX-A6000 did NOT disappoint. It completed generating and caching a 24 Gb VDB file for a fluid simulation in slightly under 3 minutes: so it was writing 133Mb per second to the cache file. Mind blowing! Rendering global illumination scenes with Redshift was also a joy.
When everything is going to the GPU, this is the combination to get for those who hate to wait.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very powerful computer at an affordable price, did have issues on initial setup and updating, but after a few restarts, we are going strong!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Runs Civil 3D twice as fast and installs just as fast comparative to our other desktops. Would definitely by another. Price point was excellent also.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good first impressions, performance is as expected (not on the high or low side of benchmarks for the same components.
-Bloatware was mostly microsoft apps including office apps that I had to uninstall and reinstall the workplace's preferred versions
-Lenovo Vantage app i'm undecided on (first time I ran it I updated bios - it says bios updated but still says I need to update bios - bios version successfully installed matches bios version to be installed).
-Also not a fan of the price markups, which every workstation builder does but is inherently misleading as retail for nearly all components are far below lenovo's 'price'.
-Happy that I was able to get a workstation with PCIe 4.0 (for storage m.2 and GPU)
-I am a fan of having a 5yr warranty at a reasonable price and not needing to build the system personally.
- Lastly Lenovo had the best price among those that offered threadripper pro and Nvidia RTX professional gpus at time of purchase (Dell and HP were not offering any similar options).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is amazingly fast and compact machine. Motherboard, power supply and fans are located properly to maximize airflow and to minimize noise.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just switched from laptop to this powerful and fast workstation. No more waiting for rendering or loading graphic programs! Many of the components can be easily upgraded by the user. Windows 11 version (not Linux).
