New Lenovo ThinkCentre All-in-one Desktops: Perfect Fit for Work and Play Lenovo Also Announces Latest Generation E-Series and M-Series Desktops

Lenovo(HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced new all-in-one (AIO) desktops with a simpler ergonomic design featuring optional multi-touch screens, improved cable management and new mounting options with the ThinkCentre UltraFlex Stand allowing for vertical, rotate and tilt movements including a fully flat position optimized for touch. Also announcing today, the ThinkCentre E73 and M73 desktops power businesses looking for traditional tower, small form factor and Tiny systems.

Productivity and performance is enhanced by the latest Intel 4th generation Core processors, optional discrete graphics and new solid state hybrid drives (SSHD). WiDi allows easy connection to an enabled large display or notebook. All new models are Energy Star 5.2 compliant, use recycled materials and less packaging to save energy.

Despite the ongoing challenges in the PC market, according to NPD DisplaySearch*, demand for all-in-one (AIO) PCs is at an all-time high. In Q1 2013, DisplaySearch reported record AIO shipments of 4.3 million units worldwide for a year-to-year growth of 25 percent. Lenovo continues to lead the AIO segment with 30.6 percent market share and continues to innovate with new all-in-one products, such as the ThinkCentre E93z, E73z and M73z announced today.

"Experience is everything, which is why we continuously evolve our commercial AIO desktops to be like nothing else in the business space," said Victor Rios, vice president and general manager of Think desktop, workstation, and visuals, "As touch expands from the consumer space into our work environments, ThinkCentre AIOs are poised to support the workforce with the most intuitive touch experience available in the market. Simple and ergonomic design, optimized cable management and the innovative engineering design of our stands make for a cleaner and more enjoyable workspace".

ThinkCentre E93z All-in-One Desktop

The all-new ThinkCentre E93z takes desktop computing to a whole new level. At only 48mm thick, the ThinkCentre E93z is one of the thinnest all-in-one PCs ever built for business and is a centerpiece for any office. With its optional ThinkCentre UltraFlex Stand, the E93z can take full advantage of its optional 10-point multi-touch display by combining height, tilt, pivot, and recline adjustments to maximize ergonomic comfort and productivity for the best possible Windows 8 experience.

Powered by up to a 4th Generation Intel Core i7 processor and available with a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce 720 discrete graphics engine on selected models, the ThinkCentre E93z can bring the most creative visions to life via its gorgeous 21.5 inch infinity glass Full HD display. Faster data access is provided by next generation Solid State Hybrid Drive storage and HDMI In and Out ports plus Intel WiDi offer even more display capabilities. What’s more, all this performance doesn’t come at the cost of energy efficiency, as all ThinkCentre E93z models are Energy Star 5.2 compliant.

Designed from the ground-up to fuel business growth and secure assets, the ThinkCentre E93z helps protect privacy through an innovative built-in camera switch that physically blocks the E93z’s webcam to prevent unauthorized recording.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
