Lenovo releases several new desktop PCs including the new ThinkCentre M55p with Intel vPro technology, which combines advanced PC processing features with rock-solid design, functionality and reliability. The new M55p is part of two lines of ThinkCentre desktops that, for the first time, offer the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and provide enterprise users with high performance, enhanced security features and automation tools designed to help IT staff remotely manage systems.

The two lines of Core 2 Duo-enabled ThinkCentre desktops include the M55p, M55, M55e, A55 and A53 models and offer enterprises maximum choice for processor technology, graphics and form factors and the lowest total cost of ownership. The ThinkCentre M and A Series desktops are built for the way IT managers work and offer platform stability, service and support and a common software image for easy fleet management. To further enhance user experience, the new desktops are preloaded with ThinkVantage Technologies, a suite of software tools that help maintain user productivity and reduce costly and time consuming calls to the help desk. ImageUltra Builder and ThinkVantage System Migration Assistant make rollouts simpler and more efficient for IT departments. ThinkVantage Productivity Center guides the user to a host of information and tools to help set up, understand, maintain, and enhance their ThinkCentre desktop. All ThinkCentre M and A series desktops also feature ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery to help recover from crashes, quickly and easily.

The performance model of the ThinkCentre M Series line – the M55p – features Intel's vPro platform, which utilizes Intel's Active Management Technology and Intel Virtualization Technology to provide an advanced level of remote PC management. The M55p with vPro technology optimizes the functionality of ThinkVantage Technologies to allow IT managers to remotely access and inventory PCs even if the systems are powered down, or if the operating system is not responding. This new software helps empower businesses to take full advantage of managing their ThinkCentre desktops, with immediate system updates and tracking across entire PC fleets.

ThinkCentre M Series desktops also feature the ThinkVantage Client Security Solution, an additional layer of security that helps protect vital company security information like passwords, encryption keys and electronic credentials. Rescue and Recovery with Antidote Delivery Manager allows IT staff to rapidly deploy security updates, even to systems that are powered down. All ThinkCentre M and A Series desktops offer customers a choice of Intel's Core 2 Duo, Pentium D, Pentium 4 and Celeron D processors. Toolless-entry drives, adapter cards and steel chassis further enhance the simplicity of the ThinkCentre M and A Series desktops by allowing users to easily access components for quick repairs or upgrades. Both lines are Microsoft Vista capable and designed to support today's and tomorrow's software for flexible PC solutions that can evolve over time.
