High-level performance without the high price
From large workloads to multitasking, the compact ThinkStation P520c breezes through it all. With cutting-edge processing, graphics, storage, and memory, this configurable 25L workstation is a solid workhorse. Energy efficient and extremely reliable, it's also ISV-certified and VR-ready. Equally impressive is the affordable price tag.

Real power at a reasonable price

For true processing power and blazing-fast visuals, power up the ThinkStation P520c. Fueled by the latest Intel® Xeon® processors and NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics, this compact 25L workhorse can help you to get the job done, quickly and easily. What's more, it comes at a very affordable price.

Configurable and reliable

The P520c can be configured to meet your specific needs, including up to 128 GB of memory and solid-state or hard disk drive storage options. One thing you won't have to worry about, however, is reliability, which is the cornerstone of every ThinkStation.

Enhanced flexible design

With two M.2 PCIe solid state drive slots embedded in the motherboard, you can enjoy blistering-fast storage speeds. What's more, the front FLEX module gives you a range of options and flexibility, including a media card reader and blazing-fast Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3 port.

Hassle-free, tool-free

Should you ever need to swap any components, there’s no need to worry about tools. Simply slide off the side panel and away you go. You may also wish to know that we can help automate many of the manual tasks associated with deploying new machines, from asset tagging to custom image loading.

Ready for anything, real or virtual

With virtual reality (VR), almost anything's possible—from revolutionary designs to stunning special effects to highly complex simulations. With the powerful P520c and top-of-the range, high-performance NVIDIA Quadro® graphics (optional), a truly immersive VR experience awaits.

Built-in peace of mind

Like every ThinkStation before it, the P520c has undergone rigorous testing under extreme conditions. It's also ISV-certified and boasts error-correcting code (ECC) memory, ensuring even greater accuracy and reliability.

A helping hand when you need it

You’ll be able to keep your P520c running at its peak thanks to Lenovo Workstation Diagnostics. Available for both desktop and smartphone, this intelligent app can help you diagnose and troubleshoot potential system issues by providing step-by-step guidance on optimal system performance. And should your machine ever fail to boot, an error code for additional assistance will be sent wirelessly to your smartphone.

In addition, there's Lenovo Performance Tuner. Free to download and easy to use, this software can help you fine-tune your workstation to get even more out of it.

Better for the planet—and your bottom line

The P520c meets some of the world's most comprehensive environmental standards. A GREENGUARD®-certified workstation, it has also been rated EPEAT Gold, ENERGY STAR 6.1, and up to 80 PLUS® Platinum PSU. And as a result of its energy efficiency, the P520c can even help lower your utility bills.
