Lenovo, chinese computer manufacturer that bought the Thinkpad line from IBM several years ago, has announced a new line of ThinkPad workstations that come with NVidia Quadro FX video cards for GPU acceleration, and the Elemental Accelerator software from Elemental Technologies, to make a great video processing workstation.

“Digital content creators require the highest level of encoding performance to produce cutting-edge products,” said Peter Schrady, vice president, Software and Peripherals, Lenovo. “By pairing ThinkStation workstations with Elemental Accelerator and NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs, we are building computing solutions that deliver the fastest and highest quality video encoding experience available for Adobe Creative Suite 4 users.”

The workstations can be configured online now at www.lenovo.com/thinkstation and start as low at $799 (but the Elemental Accelerator software adds an extra $200).
