Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 Desktop - India’s
first all-in-one with game-changing features including motion sensor gaming and
VOIP call via remote
Lenovo brings consumers the next generation of
desktop computing with the IdeaCentre A600 – Lenovo’s first all-in-one desktop.
The new, sleek IdeaCentre A600 all-in-one features a 21.5-inch frameless
screen, and provides discerning space-conscious and style-conscious users a
modern design that measures only one inch at its slimmest point, making it one
of the slimmest all-in-one desktop PCs2.
Unlike other all-in-one products in the
market, the Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 features a 4-in-1 optional remote
which enables four unique features:
·
It
is the only PC in the market to introduce ‘motion sensor’ gaming feature
·
Lenovo
4-in-1 remote control can also be used as a VOIP 3 handset to
make and receive phone calls over the Internet.
·
The
remote also serves as a media center/TV remote, and with Microsoft Vista
Media Center users can use the controller to operate DVDs, movies and TV
·
The
remote also functions as an “air mouse” so it can be used to operate the
cursor on the screen.
For the entertainment enthusiast, the
all-in-one offers a 16:9 aspect ratio screen with full HD resolution
delivering outstanding image quality while the integrated speaker system with bass
sub-woofer and Dolby® Home Theater™ audio certification completes the
home cinema experience. Users can also take advantage of the TV tuner
for watching and recording their favorite TV.
At the core of the all-in-one is a powerful
desktop computer with choices of Intel® Core™2 Duo processors, optional ATI
Radeon™ graphics card technology with DirectX10 support, up to 4GB of fast DDR3
memory for improved multitasking and up to 1TB (1,000GB) of hard drive space
for storing hundreds of videos, music and other documents. Equipped with the
latest high-performance mobile processor technology, the all-in-one runs
whisper-quiet even when performing intensive tasks.
Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 Notebook – Slimmest-Lightest
16-inch-laptop packed with entertainment features!
Lenovo delivers its first 16-inch widescreen laptop with the
Lenovo IdeaPad Y650, the thinnest and lightest 16-inch laptops in
the market today1. In
fact, the laptop weighs less than many 15-inch laptops, providing users with an
additional inch of screen space without compromising on mobility. Making use of advanced materials like carbon fiber reinforced plastic
(CFRP), Lenovo has engineered the laptop down
to a slender one-inch at its thinnest point with a weight of just 2.55 kg.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 has been designed in a modern soft black
design with an interlocked hexagon pattern on the top cover along with a
discrete copper accent around the perimeter of the laptop. The machine also
features touch-sensitive controls and ambient light sensor technology
- a sensor on the PC’s cover automatically detects changes in the environment’s
light to help protect against eye strain. The keyboard is similar to the
ThinkPad keyboard and has bevel sides.
The notebook is a
multimedia powerhouse with integrated Nvidia GT105M with CUDA acceleration
graphics processor supporting high-definition graphics bringing images
to life with vibrant colors and 16:9 format viewing experience. The Lenovo
IdeaPad Y650 uses JBL Speakers along with Dolby® Home Theater™
providing users a legendary audio experience. OneKey theater
software gives users an easy option to switch the PC display and sound effect from
normal to movie mode. Users also benefit from longer battery life with LED
backlight technology which minimizes energy consumption. The laptop can
support BluRay Rambo and comes with a built-in TV Tuner.

The
Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 notebook is available at a MRP of Rs. 103,990 (inclusive of
all taxes) and the Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 all-in-one desktop is available at a
