Lenovo P Series PX, Xeon Silver 4410Y, 16GB, 512GB SSD, Black

The ThinkStation PX is a dual-Xeon workstation with best-in-class GPU potential, but the base config is under-spec'd with just 16GB of RAM and no discrete GPU. It scores 74.2 for workstation use, which is solid, but you'll need to spend more to unlock its real potential. Only worth it if you need dual-CPU muscle for simulations or data center work.

The dual Xeon Silver 4410Y chips give you 24 cores total, which is plenty for parallel workloads like CFD or rendering. The GPU slot is where this machine really shines, hitting near the top of our charts for workstation graphics potential. But the config as listed has no discrete GPU, just integrated graphics with 48GB of shared VRAM, which is a weird pairing for a machine built around GPU compute. The 16GB of DDR5 is also surprisingly thin for a dual-socket workstation. You'd want to spec this thing up before it reaches its potential.

Compared to the CLX SET TGMSETRTU5204BM or the MSI MEG Vision X AI, the ThinkStation PX is built for a different buyer entirely. Those machines lean toward gaming and AI hobbyist use, while the PX is a rack-optimized workhorse for simulations and data center duty. The HP OMEN GT22-3090 and Alienware Aurora ACT1250 will crush it in gaming, no contest, our gaming score for the PX is a sad 21.5. But for raw workstation expandability and dual-CPU muscle, the PX is in a different league. Just make sure you actually need that league before paying the entry fee.

At $15,079, this is a serious investment. The bones are there, dual Xeons, a huge PSU, and top-tier GPU support. But the base config is under-spec'd in ways that will cost you more to fix. 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD in a fifteen thousand dollar workstation is like buying a sports car with bicycle tires. You'll need to budget for upgrades, which makes the value proposition shaky out of the box.

The Lenovo ThinkStation PX is a dual-socket Xeon monster built for serious simulation and data center work. It's not a gaming rig, and it's not pretending to be one. This thing weighs 38kg and pulls up to 1850W, so you know it means business.

Our database puts it at 74.2 for workstation use, which is strong. The GPU options are the star here, landing in the 96th percentile for this category. But the base config we're looking at has some odd choices, like 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD in a machine that costs over fifteen grand.

Skip this if you're a gamer, a general home user, or anyone who doesn't run heavily parallelized professional workloads. The gaming score is abysmal, the base config is under-spec'd, and you'd be paying a huge premium for dual-CPU capability you'll never use. If you need a powerful single-CPU desktop, there are far better values out there.

Buy this if you run simulations, renders, or other heavy parallel workloads and plan to spec it up with more RAM, more storage, and a proper discrete GPU. The platform is excellent, but the base config is a starting point, not a finished product. If you're looking for a general-purpose desktop or anything gaming-adjacent, this is absolutely the wrong machine.
