A workstation is a high-end personal computer designed for advanced and professional applications such as 3D modeling, scientific computing, video editing, and other tasks that require a high level of computing power and specialized hardware. Workstations typically have more powerful processors, larger amounts of memory, faster storage, and advanced graphics capabilities than standard desktop computers.

In addition to hardware, workstations often come with specialized software and operating systems optimized for the specific tasks they are designed to perform. Workstations may also include features such as multiple monitors, ergonomic keyboards, and specialized input devices.

Workstations are commonly used in fields such as engineering, architecture, finance, media and entertainment, where the ability to handle complex tasks quickly and efficiently is essential.
