Exceptionally short on space at work or home but still need a new desktop PC? Check out what Lenovo has to offer. Right now, its ThinkStation P3 Tiny Workstation — aka the “world’s smallest workstation” — is on sale. Normally $1,759, it’s down to $879 for a limited time only, so you’re saving 50% off the usual price. One of the best desktop computer deals around, it’s perfect if space and money are limited but you still want a great setup for work. In the past, we’ve been impressed by the quality of Lenovo’s ThinkStations. Here’s what it has to offer.
While we haven’t reviewed the Lenovo ThinkStation P3, we have taken a look at the similar Lenovo ThinkStation P620. The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Workstation is even smaller than that, and two years of innovation can bring a lot of upgrades. This particular P3 model has a 13th-generation Intel Core i5-13500 processor with 16GB of memory and 512GB of SSD storage.
That’s a pretty good set of specs as it is, but the beauty of the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Workstation is its size. It has a total volume of just one liter, making it the world’s smallest workstation and proving to be 96% smaller than a traditional desktop. It’s incredibly versatile thanks to its array of mounting options. You can choose to place it on a bookshelf or desk, but you can also hide it behind your monitor or effectively place it nearly anywhere imaginable. It’s well suited for industry use where space is limited, but it’s also good if you simply don’t want your home swamped with tech equipment.
As with all Lenovo gear, the P3 has successfully passed military grade standards, so it can handle all kinds of situations. That sets it a cut above the rest of the best desktop computers — not to say things will get too hectic on your desktop.
Usually $1,759, the Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Workstation is down to $879 for a limited time only, saving you 50% off the regular price. This is a great price for such a competent desktop PC. Check it out for yourself through the button below. It won’t stick around at this price for long.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Google DeepMind's AI world model Genie 4 can now build interactive worlds that you can explore and reshape as they run. It also generates ambient sounds, music, and dialogue that respond to your actions.
The new world model builds on Genie 3 with improved realism, more natural human movement, and better simulations of real-world physics. It could eventually help with everything from game development to training robots.
Apple has an incredible talent for making me admire its products while simultaneously questioning what on earth it's thinking with the pricing. This isn't even something as bizarre as a monitor stand, but the audacity for starting a new laptop lineup from $2,000 doesn't surprise me.
The newly announced 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6 is just the latest to showcase this. The funny thing is, I already know that it's going to be a reliable workstation. You get a powerful new 2nm M6 processor, a gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display, and up to 24 hours of battery life. We were impressed by the M5 MacBook Air, so the high-end M6 powered MacBook Pro definitely won't let us down.
