- Marks One Year Anniversary with New Collection of Trend-Setting Entertainment-Focused PCs -
Lenovo announces the latest additions to its Idea brand of personal computers for consumers, the IdeaCentre A6001 which is one of the thinnest all-in-one desktop PCs. The new PCs push the envelope in the pursuit of thinner and more stylish designs, and combine these attributes with unique features like facial recognition and high-definition entertainment technologies to give consumers a computing experience like no other.
IdeaCentre A600 All-in-One Desktop
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 PCs1.
For the entertainment enthusiast, the all-in-one offers true entertainment experience featuring a 16:9 aspect ratio screen for cinema- like viewing and support for 1920x1080 full HD resolution, delivering outstanding image quality. The integrated speaker system includes a bass sub-woofer and Dolby? Home Theatre? audio certification, while the DVD-RW player completes the home cinema experience. Users can also take advantage of a digital TV tuner for watching and recording their favorite TV programs. Users can opt to include the Microsoft Vista Media Center for easy recording of TV programs and interactive navigation between videos, music and TV programs.
For gaming enthusiasts, Lenovo developed the 4-in-1 optional remote controller. It is the first to bring PC users the ability to play games using the remote control’s ‘motion drive’ feature, which controls on-screen objects according to the movement of the remote.
Unlike other remotes, the Lenovo 4-in-1 remote controller can also be used as a VOIP handset2 to make and receive phone calls over the Internet, similar to a typical cordless telephone. 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. Additionally, the remote also functions as an “air mouse” so it can be used to operate the cursor on the screen.
At the core of the all-in-one is a powerful desktop computer with Intel? Core?2 Duo T6600 processors, optional ATI Radeon? graphics card technology with DirectX10 support, up to 4GB of fast DDR3 memory for improved multitasking and up to 640GB 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.
The IdeaCentre A600 all-in-one offers several connectivity options including high-speed WiFi, a 6-in-1 media card reader, side-mounted USB and FireWire ports with additional USB ports on the rear of the panel. The all-in-one also features VeriFace? facial recognition technology which allows users to use his or her facial image as the log-on password.

The IdeaCentre A600 all-in-one desktop will be available in April with the price starting at 42,900 Baht.
