Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z all-in-one: dull specs, speedy start-up

By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 2nd 2009 No Comments

Remember Lenovo’s mysterious all-in-one that showed up in the company’s Flickr stream last week?  The desktop has been named and detailed today, as the Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z, and while it’s targeted at small and medium businesses there’s still plenty of appeal if you like your desktops functional rather than showy.  The ThinkCentre A70z has a choice of Intel Celeron or Core 2 Duo processors, 19-inch display and – while the specifications are really nothing to get excited about – does at least do a convincing impression of a simple LCD monitor.

Lenovo IdeaPad S9 on sale in US for $345

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Dec 17th 2008 No Comments

Lenovo’s IdeaPad S9 netbook has gone on sale in the US, having cleared the FCC all the way back in August.  The 8.9-inch budget ultraportable has the same specifications as its larger-screened S10 sibling, and in fact uses the same casing only with a thicker bezel around the display.  That means Intel’s 1.6GHz Atom N270 processor, 512MB of RAM, a 4GB SSD and the Linpus Linux Lite OS.

Lenovo Europe have announced the availability of the IdeaPad S10e and S9e, the Instant On versions of its existing netbook range.  While the hardware of both netbooks is the same as the current models – a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, up to 1.5GB of RAM, 8.9- or 10-inch display, and between 4GB of SSD storage to 160GB of hard-drive storage – the key difference is the Lenovo QuickStart functionality provided by DeviceVM’s SplashTop Linux OS.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 32 2008

By Chris Davies on Sunday, Aug 10th 2008 No Comments

Lenovo IdeaPad S10 2The fight got dirty in the netbook arena this week, as Monday saw VIA’s Nano CPU take on Intel’s Atom with a 1080p smack-down video only to become mired in controversy when bloggers ran the tests themselves and came up with wildly different outcomes.  Still, we had Lenovo’s finally-official IdeaPad S10 and S9 to cheer us up, together with the rumor that Gigabyte plan a 10-inch dual-core version of the coveted M912 tablet-netbook. 

Of course, ASUS couldn’t bear to be out of the headlines for a single minute, and so announced the S101 (the size of an Eee, the branding of an Eee, but it’s not an Eee) together with a cloud storage option.  Netbooks are so much the niche of the moment that this week’s “He Said, She Said” editorial was all about whether the best value comes from there or from a second-hand laptop off of eBay.
