An IT admin's dream
This workstation delivers powerful performance with both Intel® Xeon® and Core i™ processing and NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics. And now it’s even capable of rendering VR. Primed for security, the ThinkPad P52 encrypts data with TPM, provides a match-on-chip fingerprint reader, and enables facial login with the combined use of the optional IR camera and Windows Hello.

What’s more, with the option of 4G-LTE from the factory, out of range WiFi is never an issue for ongoing connectivity. *Not available with the IR Camera
