In overall aesthetics and form, we simply must give the nod to Apple here.

It’s basically just a bit larger than two Mac Minis stacked on top of each other (someone at Apple missed out on a Big Mac cross-promotion opportunity with McDonald’s). Apple has somehow managed to squeeze its most monstrously powerful computer yet into a 7.7-inch square footprint at a height of just 3.7 inches. Where it really shines, though, is overall size. Of course, Apple’s design approach is austere as well, if not a little slicker in the branding consistency department. But even with a substantial presence, Lenovo keeps things toned down with its all-black simple design.

The simple, no-frills housing on the ThinkStation 620 gives easy access to internals for those who like to do their own upgrades, although we’d like to meet the person who needs more power than even the base configuration wields. Lenovo’s research and development department must have been seeing stars when they started writing down plans for this monster, which can weigh up to 50 pounds depending on configuration.
