The last time I bought an all-in-one PC was back in 1997. I was a senior in high school, and it was college application time. My family’s Apple IIc was significantly underpowered and ill-equipped for things like internet and CD-ROM use. With financial help from my folks, I went out and purchased an AST 75 […]
Lenovo’s been making an impressive push with its new wave of hardware. The company was kind enough to send us the new IdeaCentre B540 to give it a once over. As a regular user of Windows Vista and until a few months ago, a Windows XP user (I know!), I was excited to put a […]
When I opened the plain brown box at my front stoop to discover the Lenovo ThinkPad Twist, my heart skipped a beat. Because I have a heart condition, that hurt like hell. Getting to finally play with a touchable Windows 8 device, and one by a company that I will unabashedly admit is one of my favorites, […]
Back in August, I reviewed Lenovo’s IdeaCentre A720, an all-in-one touchscreen PC running Windows 7 bundled with several Lenovo applications focused on the touch interface. Since then, Microsoft has released Windows 8 and as promised, Lenovo now includes it as the default for the A720. The company kindly provided me a test machine for a […]
The Idea S2110 takes what Lenovo is best known for (keyboards) and pairs it with a sleek, thin, and light tablet in a package that easily replaces a laptop for light work. Lenovo’s tablet is fairly run of the mill specs-wise, loaded with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 running at 1.5 Ghz, 1 GB of […]
Sometimes a 10-inch tablet is too large and a 7-inch tablet is too small. For those Goldilocks circumstances, the few 9-inch tablets on the market can make due. The Lenovo IdeaTab A2109A fits the bill, capable of both content creation and media consumption in a smaller, relatively light, and somewhat cheap package at only $299. […]
I’m often asked by friends what laptop they should buy. As my home system is designed around Apple devices, those friends are surprised when I almost always answer, “Lenovo.” My first laptop was a ThinkPad 380. In the almost 20 years that I’ve been using and repairing laptops, I’ve always found the Thinkpad line to […]
Lenovo was kind enough to send Techcitement an IdeaPad Z580, a mid-priced and sleek 15.6” wide-screen laptop geared toward the media and social network savvy crowd. The laptop has unique, and unusual, features that distinguish it from the run-of-the-mill Windows laptop, some of which enhance my experience with the device and others thatalmostenhance my experience […]
The Lenovo IdeaTab S1209a is quite obviously Lenovo’s answer to Apple’s iPad. The IdeaTab has a 9.7 inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768, identical to the original iPad and iPad 2. Lenovo’s tablet is sleek at a thin 0.35 inches and a light 1.3 pounds, lighter than Apple’s new iPad and on […]
Somewhere between the standard desktop computer and notebook computers with large screens lies the all-in-one PC. While Apple is generally regarded as the king of this category with its iMac series of machines, HP had recent success building the TouchSmart line of all-in-ones designed for Windows Vista and subsequently Windows 7. The primary differentiating feature, […]
