Mobile Workstation with ISV Certification

The Lenovo ThinkPad W541 is a 15.6-inch mobile workstation built for professionals who run certified engineering applications. It ships with Windows 7 Professional and includes an Intel Core i7 processor running at 3.20GHz, 8GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive. NVIDIA Quadro K1100M graphics provide the acceleration required by over 100 ISV-certified applications. A DVD recordable drive and UltraNav pointing device complete the feature set.

For Certified App Users, Not Modern OS Seekers

This system suits engineers and designers who depend on legacy Windows 7 software stacks and ISV certifications that may not transfer to newer platforms. The 500GB mechanical drive and 8GB of memory limit users handling large datasets or running memory-hungry virtual machines. Buyers who need a current operating system, solid-state storage or higher memory capacity should look at other configurations.

NVIDIA Quadro K1100M Graphics

The installed NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU is the component that determines compatibility with specific certified workflows such as CAD, 3D modelling and rendering. Driver support for this GPU is tied to the Windows 7 Professional environment shipped with the unit. Verify that your required applications certify this exact graphics card before purchase.
