ThinkPad X120e Entry Ultraportable
Lenovo’s latest entry ultraportable, the
ThinkPad X120e laptop, raises the bar for affordable business-class performance. As the first commercial laptop to feature an AMD Fusion E-Series Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), the ThinkPad X120e blends real-world needs for faster applications and graphics processing with enhanced battery life and digital display features starting at less than $400. Integrating an AMD Fusion E-Series APU gives users 65 percent faster graphics performance
1, which speeds up Web searches, page loads and running business applications. At the same time, the ThinkPad X120e gives users longer battery life – up to 30 percent longer – for more than six hours
2 and meets Energy Star 5.0 specifications.
ThinkPad E220s Small Business Laptop
The
ThinkPad Edge E220s laptop catches attention with its jaw-dropping, premium design. Small details make a big difference: the stunning infinity screen, a matte finish that’s soft to the touch and real metal accents that project a cosmopolitan image. A performance powerhouse for small businesses, the laptop features increased performance and integrated graphics in the upcoming second generation Intel® Core™ processor technology, Lenovo’s
Enhanced Experience 2.0 for rapid boot up and a range of wireless connectivity technologies. The ThinkPad Edge E220s also crosses over for serious play with Dolby Home Theatre® audio and high definition video conferencing.
IdeaCentre B520 Desktop All-in-One Entertainment Experience
Lenovo’s most powerful AIO, the IdeaCentre B520 AIO desktop, fits consumers who need high-performance gaming and family entertainment in one machine. It delivers maximum entertainment with minimum fuss by combining high-performance graphics and the latest 2nd Generation Intel®Core™ i7 processor in a compact design. As the industry’s first frameless AIO design with a multitouch touchscreen, the B520 utilizes Project Capacitive Touch (PCT) for a more accurate and comfortable multitouch user experience. The B520 features a 23-inch Full HD display with optional Nvidia’s 3D Vision solution, SRS® Premium Sound audio enhancement and an optional 3-in-1 Mouse with motion-drive gaming and air-mouse functionality.
