Blowout deal: 20% off Lenovo ThinkStation D10, $759 starting

I know we usually cover the best Lenovo laptop deals, with the occasional desktop, but this one was too good to pass up. If you haven’t heard about Lenovo’s ThinkStation line, you’re missing out.

Take all the engineering know-how of Lenovo’s Think engineers and the best of the best in processor, storage and graphics technologies: what you get is a beast of a workstation with the design you’ve come to expect in a Think product, the eminent focus on usability and more performance options than you could ever need.

There are two versions of the ThinkStations, the S and D series, with S referring to single socket (aka processor sockets) and, you guessed it, D for dual socket. The models on sale are the previous generation ThinkStation D10; while not offering the latest Intel processors, they still have plenty of horsepower, Lenovo’s top notch design and most important, a $759 starting price.

The base model starts at $949, which means you can pick up one of these boxes for $759 before tax, including a rather nice 3-year on-site warranty. Linux lovers will appreciate the no operating system option on these boxes, allowing you to run whatever operating system you want without paying for something you don’t want. A note on operating systems: the model that comes with Vista Business is $110 more than the one without, but you would still be eligible for the free upgrade to Windows 7 (you pay shipping costs).
