There are some exciting developments in the workstation sector, which Sam Trinder, Westcoast's Lenovo Workstation BDM explained to us, "Lenovo’s innovation is now at a level where they are leading the market in areas that before were not explored. The success of the Tiny workstation has led to a 2^nd generation being launched within the coming months and they are now first to market with a 15-inch VR ready mobile workstation. All of Lenovo’s current and new products are all coming with the Major ISVs testing and approval making planning, purchasing and use worry free for specific applications."
