Lenovo has launched a raft of new hardware, hoping to capitalise on professionals’ increasing use of AI. The announcement was timed to coincide with Nvidia’s GTC 2026 event, which took place this week.
The company unveiled six new machines – one desktop and five laptops – powered by Intel and AMD processors, along with Nvidia Blackwell GPUs for AI work. Lenovo describes the machines as aimed at “students, engineers, data scientists and everyone in between” that want to tackle workflows including CAD, AI development, and data science.
The Lenovo ThinkStation P5 G2 workstation runs on Intel Xeon 600 processors, an Intel W890 chipset, and up to two Nvidia RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Max-Q GPUs, offering up to 3,511 TOPs. To put that into a perspective, a typical “AI PC” will top out at 200 TOPS.
Memory options run from 16GB to 128 GB, with up to 16TB of SSD storage courtesy of four M.2 slots. Support for three 3.5in SATA drives bring potential for a further 36TB of storage.
The workstation comes ships with either Windows 11 Pro for Workstation, Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
Lenovo is targeting the ThinkStation P5 G2 workstation at those working on compute-heavy tasks, including visual effects artists, scientists and AI developers. It’s expected to launch in “select markets” next month.
For those in need of a mobile option, Lenovo announced the ThinkPad P14s Gen 7, its lightest “AI ready” machine, available in Intel and AMD versions.
The ThinkPad P14s Gen 7 AMD comes with AMD Ryzen AI Pro 400 Series processors with up to AMD Radeon 890M GPUs, while the Intel equivalent, the ThinkPad P14s i Gen 7, has Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors along with Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell GPUs.
The AMD version will debut in April, a month ahead of its Intel counterpart, and with a slightly smaller screen (14in vs 14.5in for the Intel version), and a magnesium rather than aluminium casing. It will also be lighter side, starting at 1.29kg compared to the Intel version’s 1.63kg starting weight.
Both will offer memory options up to 96GB, storage up to 2TB, along with 5-megapixel webcams, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and NFC connectivity. They will ship with a choice of Windows 11, Ubuntu, RHEL and, in the AMD system’s case, Fedora.
Lenovo added two 16-inch models too. The Lenovo ThinkPad P16s i Gen 5 will come with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 chips, while the Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 5 AMD will use AMD Ryzen AI Pro 400 series processors.
The ThinkPad P16s i Gen 5 will be available in May, while the ThinkPad P16s Gen 5 AMD will launch in June. Both will have Nvidia Blackwell GPUs onboard, run either Windows, Ubuntu or Red Hat (the AMD option also has an additional choice of Fedora), offer memory options from 16GB to 96GB, and come with up to 4TB of storage.
The two laptops weigh from 1.75kg up and target a rather hazy “power users”, according to Lenovo.
For “creative professionals and engineers”, Lenovo has unwrapped a beefier ThinkPad, the P1 Gen 9. It comes with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, Nvidia RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell GPUs, up to 8TB of storage, a 90Whr battery, an SD card reader, and a 16-inch screen with up to 3.2K pixels. It should hit the shelves in June.
According to recent research by analysts Gartner, Lenovo is the biggest seller of PCs worldwide, accounting for over 27% of the market by shipments. During the last quarter of 2025, Gartner estimates the company shipped over 19 million units.
