\"P50\"<\/a>For the past several months, I've been debating about what to do for the next iteration of my Hyper-V network.\u00a0 I rely on it heavily for my writing, course-ware development, and training.\u00a0 For awhile now I've been traveling with a Yoga 2 Pro which runs a few virtual machines, and a Gigabyte Brix unit with 16GB of RAM and an i7 CPU for everything else.\u00a0 Because of the two units I also tend to travel with a small 4 port switch plus all the necessary power\u00a0 supplies and cabling. Even though the Yoga 2 is really light, by the time I pack everything up, as they say, \"not so much.\"<\/p>\n

I also have realized that there are a few more virtual machines I'd like to add to my running network which meant I needed to expand my Hyper-V setup. I was torn between building a mini-ITX solution with this motherboard<\/a> which could have supported up to 128GB of RAM. I thought that if I needed to travel with it, a mini-ITX wouldn't be that much of a burden.<\/p>\n

Or, I could stick with a laptop. I knew that Lenovo was coming out with a new line of ThinkPad workstations.\u00a0 So I kept waiting. And waiting. The ThinkPad P50<\/a> and the ThinkPad P70<\/a> promised to be beasts. At least the specs I wanted. For my purposes, what was most tantalizing was the ability to get a Xeon CPU in a laptop that would support up to 64GB of RAM. Yeah, the unit would be a bit bigger than what I had now at 5.6 lbs but if I maxed out the memory (and why wouldn't you!), I would only have to deal with a single item at conferences and classes. So I did.<\/p>\n

I put in an order for a P50 (the P70 is a 17\" version which was bigger than I really needed).\u00a0 Even though Lenovo, like most vendors, offers plenty of upgrades, I opted to keep this unit as base as possible. I did get the Xeon CPU and upgraded to Windows 10 Pro (even though I eventually plan to run Windows Server 2016 on it). I also opted for a 2 year warranty with accidental damage\u00a0 to hedge my bets. Not that I'm expecting any issues but I travel and things happen.\u00a0 I decided to do my own memory and drive upgrades so save a little money. Right now I've invested about $2100 including tax.\u00a0 I think the memory will be about another $400.\u00a0 I have a spare drive I'm hoping will work in the P50.<\/p>\n

My plan is to set it up as a Hyper-V server in my test domain. When I need to go to a conference, I'll replicate the VMs I need and go.\u00a0 The schedule is tight, but I'm hoping to bring it with me to Techmentor<\/a> so if you will be in Las Vegas and want a P50 tour, be sure to find me.\u00a0 If nothing else, it should be joining me at the PowerShell Summit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I'll be posting pictures, impressions and notes on upgrades as they happen. Much more to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
