Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2 is a mini PC with up to Core Ultra 9 285 and NVIDIA RTX A1000

The Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2 is a desktop computer that measures just 179 x 183 x 37mm (7″ x 7.2″ x 1.5″) and weighs just 1.4 kg (3 pounds).

But while most mini PCs feature mobile chips designed for laptops, Lenovo’s second-gen P3 Tiny supports up to a 65 watt Intel Core Ultra 9 285 24-core processor, up to 128GB of memory, and up to NVIDIA RTX A1000 graphics. Lenovo says the […]

We can say it was the first "DAW"! :0)

My desk at work. So far, it's the most optimal setup. The main #workstation is a triple monitor setup, with the middle and right monitors are 4K. The left monitor is standard hi-def. My laptop can function as a fourth display. Portrait mode in 4K is simply incredible for #terminal and #ssh work. All mounted on a standing desk.

I use the dual monitor system on the left as a secondary on-prem machine and remote jump box. The monitors are just standard hi-def, but still plenty of real estate.

Portrait mode is underrated.

Yes and no.

#Apple's #iPad makes it easy to test, build and sell #CCSS [commercial closed-source software] at a premium.

  • I mean, I'm happy with my #X230Tablet but I do acknowledge this is an old device and it's rather the exception than norm...

Simply because #Wacom makes good passive stylus and pen-capable touchscreens.

  • So OFC companies that have the money and resources to build premium #apps will target the premium customers who by virtue ob being able to splash 4 digits on a tablet brand-new will be proven more able to pay for their software.

That's why #Autodesk won't even sell people a #Linux license for #Maya (or any of their other tools) unless one has proof of ownership of a certified workstation (i.e. HP Z-series) with a #RHEL [#RedHat] #Workstation #subscription active to begin with.

  • And yes they will run the machine's serial # to check if it's ordered with parts that fit their system requirements from the factory and will demand the same for RHEL. I've been there and had to do that before they even consider offering one a subscription!

Compare that to like #AffinityDesigner on #iOS (or rather "#iPadOS") and the fact that basically all iPad users are expected to have an Apple account and credit card linked to it for the #AppStore and it's no wounder the developers of creative apps will focus on that.

The only exception are #FLOSS #apps that are native to Linux and/or got started on other #Unix Systems [#blender started out on #IRIX as CCSS] and serve #macOS & #Windows as 2nd & 3rd tier platforms [i.e. #darktable oftentimes had no Windows builds because none of the devs had or wanted a Windows machine to test on!]
