ET deals: Save 30% on a Lenovo ThinkPad W550s 15-inch workstation laptop

[Yasuo.]

 

Workstations have a reputation of being bulky and extremely expensive, and that’s historically been painfully accurate. Thankfully, the size and cost of workstation laptops have dropped drastically in recent years. So if you’ve been putting off buying a new workstation, take a look at the ThinkPad W550s from Lenovo. It’s powerful, less than nine-tenths of an inch thick, weighs in at less than five pounds, and it’s currently being sold for $472.85 off the sticker price — a whopping 30% in savings.

 

 

On the inside, this model sports a fifth generation dual-core 2.4GHz Intel Core i7-5500U CPU, a powerful discrete Nvidia Quadro K620M graphics card (with 2GB of memory), 4GB of DDR3L RAM (1600MHz), a 500GB 7200RPM hard drive, Bluetooth 4.0, and 802.11b/g/n/ac WiFi support. But the biggest standout here is absolutely the incredible 15.5-inch display. With a “3K” resolution of 2880×1620 and in-plane switching, your screen will look crisp and clear no matter where you’re positioned. So even when you’re stuck on a cramped plane, you can get serious work done on a tight deadline.
