Lenovo's New Ideacentre, Ideapad Devices Target Gamers And More
Lenovo has introduced a bunch of laptops and tablets as part of its CES 2016 lineup, but if you prefer desktops over the more portable options, the company has a few new models that will meet your needs. The latest ideacentre expansion brings in the gaming-centric Y900 Razer Edition alongside the curved Y27g gaming monitor, as well as the ideacentre 610S home desktop PC and ideacentre all-in-one 510S. Joining those are a few ideapad laptops, too, rounding out the offerings.
One of the more notable additions is the Lenovo ideacentre Y900 RE, the Razer Edition of its Y900 desktop. This machine features various configuration options, including up to dual NVIDIA GTX970 graphics, 6th-generation Intel Core i7 overclocked processors, 32GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, Bluetooth 4.0, WLAN 2x2 AC, a slew of ports, support for 7.1 surround sound systems, Razer Chroma Keyboard and Mouse, and Chroma lighting effects.
The machine launches in June for $2,299 USD.
Joining that machine is the new Lenovo Y27g RE Monitor, a similarly styled 28-inch 1800R curved display with NVIDIA G-SYNC tech and a refresh rate of 144Hz. The resolution comes in at FHD 1080p with a 16:9 aspect ratio; there's 300 nits brightness, 3000:1 contrast ratio, HDMI, DisplayPort, four USB 3.0 port, and hidden cable management.
The monitor arrives in June for $599 USD.
If you're not keen about the Razer touch, the Y27g Curved Gaming Monitor is also in the pipeline, which is largely the same as the aforementioned display, but without the Razer Edition flare. This monitor arrives in June for $549 USD.
Next is the Lenovo ideapad Y900, a stylish gaming laptop with a 17-inch display and a host of powerful hardware options, including up to 6th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, 64GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, Windows 10 Home, and more. The laptop will launch in June for $1,999 USD.
Joining the two desktops is the ideacentre all-in-one 510S PC, an AIO solution described as being "dramatically thinner and lighter" than past options thanks to the use of in-cell touch tech. The system runs Windows 10 Home and features an optional 10-point multitouch display.
Various configuration options are available, including 6th generation Intel Core i7 processors, up to 16GB of RAM, up to a 256GB SSD, and up to NVIDIA GT930A 2G graphics. All this is complemented by a pair of 3 water stereo speakers alongside Dolby Home Theatre, a 1080p FHD webcam with dual microphones, Bluetooth 4.0, and 802.11ac WiFi. Ports include a combo audio jack, HDMI, four USB 3.0 ports, and a LAN port.
Price starts at $699 USD in the U.S. for the 23-inch FHD model.
Those who aren't interested in an all-in-one system will also have the ideacentre 610S desktop, a triangular desktop with various configuration options and Windows 10 Home. The tower arrives in June for $849 USD with a projector that sits on top, beaming a desktop display onto a nearby surface. The projector is removable and optional, and features built-in controls on its' top surface.
Finally, there's the new Ideapad 700 and 710S, both of which feature somewhat similar designs, though the 710S is obviously the highest end of the two, including in terms of design. Both are Windows 10 machines and are available in various configurations with up to an Intel Core i7 processor. The 700 model launches first in June at $799 USD, while the 710S launches in July for $799 USD as well.
