Power and flexibility
Choose ThinkCentre desktops for the latest PC technology. Intel Pentium 4 processors featuring Intel Hyper-Threading deliver
enhanced performance (on selected models) together with IBM Double Data Rate (DDR) memory, serial ATA hard drives (on
selected models) and 8 USB ports for fast expansion. Optional video cards from ATI and NVIDIA on A Series 'Individual
models' are ideal for work in multimedia-based environments.
Serviceable, manageable desktops
Multiple chassis designs give you a choice of ThinkCentre desktops for almost any environment. M Series offers the
convenience of three designs - Tower, Desktop or Small Desktop, all of which have a single common software image for
superior manageability. The S Series offers a small form factor for situations where office space is a key concern, but still has
full sized desktop components and a completely tool-less interior. Tool-less PCI slots feature on all ThinkCentre models to
minimise the resource needed for servicing the system.

deployment, migration and update activities.
