Lenovo announces new lineup of Windows 8 touch devices
Jan 08, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) --
Lenovo Group Limited, a provider of computer and related products, has announced the new lineup of consumer and business Windows 8 touch-optimized devices.
The company has announced the new additions to the ultra-portable IdeaPad U Series Ultrabooks and the multimedia intensive IdeaPad Z Series laptops as well as new models of IdeaCentre all-in-one desktops, from the A Series to the space-saving C Series.
Lenovo also introduced an extreme performance gaming desktop PC, the Lenovo Erazer X700, designed for enthusiast-level gaming and graphics-hungry applications. For small businesses, the ThinkPad Edge E431 and E531 laptops introduce a unique Lenovo OneLink technology for new docking capabilities, and to complete the new range of Windows 8 touch devices, the ThinkPad Mobile Monitor makes a great companion as a second display, especially for complementing non-touch devices with touch functionality.
"People love touch. It's everywhere in today's PC Plus world and is driving new interactions with devices and digital content," said Peter Hortensius, president, Product Group, and senior vice president, Lenovo. "We've aggressively integrated touch across our consumer PCs so that we have one of the largest portfolios of Windows 8 touch products available."
Lenovo's signature IdeaPad U310 and U410 mainstream Ultrabook devices take thin and light to the next level with new 10-finger touch support. These thin and light consumer Ultrabooks are mobile at 18mm thin and are ultra-responsive, waking up from sleep in one second with Instant Resume. They come with up to a 3rd gen Intel Core i7 processor, the latest NVIDIA GeForce graphics with DirectX 11 and an extended battery life for all day computing.
The IdeaPad Z400 and Z500 laptops are the latest-generation of the Z Series and optimized for the Windows 8 touch-based user interface. They support 10-point touch, feature specialized stereo speakers for extra bass with Dolby Home Theatre v4 for an immersive sound experience, come with up to 3rd gen standard voltage Intel Core i7 processors and include the latest NVIDIA GeForce graphics technology. These laptops give consumers large 14-15.6-inch touch screen real estate to experience the full power of Windows 8. Thebacklit AccuType keyboard lets users comfortably see what they're typing when they're in the dark.
The Lenovo Erazer X700 with its cold blue lighting design caters to enthusiast-level gamers and those who run intensive multimedia applications. The desktop comes with Lenovo's exclusive Onekey Overclocking feature that allows users to unleash extreme processor performance, ie, overclock, at the click of a button while simultaneously preventing the PC from overheating.
Many similar gaming PCs require users to adjust the setting in the BIOS. Because the Erazer X700 leverages AMD Eyefinity technology, users can connect up to six monitors to enjoy a panoramic screen display and add up to 4 TB of storage without tools while the PC is still running. The desktop also comes with 32GB of memory, dual graphics support (NVIDIA GeForce or ATI CrossFireX1, up to dual AMD Radeon HD and the latest Intel Core family of processors).
The IdeaCentre A730 all-in-one desktop (AIO) combines an optional 27-inch Quad HD (2560x1440) or 27-inch Full HD (1920x1080) frameless display with 10-point multi-touch into an less-than-an-inch thin frame with a widely adjustable screen angle from -5 degree to 90 degree so people can use it comfortably in any position. The A730 supports up to Windows 8 Pro, includes choices of the 3rd gen Intel Core family of processors and features large storage options up to 1TB.
The Lenovo C540 AIO with an optional touch screen is the affordable and space saving 23- inch touch AIOs for family entertainment. It bundles technologies including a 3rd gen Intel Core i3 processor and NVIDIA GeForce discrete graphics for an affordable computing solution.
The ThinkPad Edge E431 and E531 are the first ThinkPad laptops to include Lenovo's all new OneLink technology. Designed to offer simplicity through a single cable connection, the new interface eliminates cable clutter without compromising performance. The first device to support the new technology is the new ThinkPad OneLink Dock. Offering lag-free graphics and audio performance through native video with HDMI and audio ports, it can also play host to a number of accessories through four USB ports.
This technology will also charge laptop and mobile devices. Lenovo plans to offer additional OneLink devices in 2013. In addition to touch functionality, the slim ThinkPad Edge E431 and E531 laptops feature improved graphics options for more vivid content on their displays up to full HD and a five-button ClickPad lets users control Windows 8 features from the keyboard.
The slim and sleek ThinkVision LT1423p Mobile Monitor Touch is Lenovo's next generation mobile monitor that offers extra screen real estate and touch functionality for users who demand more productivity on-the-go. Improving from its predecessor's design, the LT1423p will be available in wired or wireless editions and boasts a thin design with a 13.3 inch 1600 x 900 AH-IPS panel protected by Gorilla Glass for a wide viewing angle and offers a Windows 8 touch experience. Consumers can experience touch control gestures on non-touch PCs, and as an added benefit, business customers can take advantage of 10-point touch capability or adopt paper-less commercial transactions by using the electro-magnetic stylus.
