Lenovo IdeaPad and IdeaCentre machines, from touch convertibles to all-in-ones.
Lenovo has a range of new touch-enabled computers launching during and after PC Show 2013, held at Singapore Expo from 6th to 9th June. The IdeaCentre Horizon caught my eye first, resembling a Microsoft PixelSense and running Windows 8 Pro.
On 30th October 2012, Lenovo announced a new range of convertible devices designed for Windows 8. It calls them convertibles, not laptops, because they're more than ordinary notebooks. The IdeaPad Yoga 13 and Yoga 11 rotate their screens 360 degrees.
I attended the Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 launch at BoConcept in Paragon Shopping Centre. Two products debuted: the headline IdeaCentre A720 at S$2,699 and the IdeaPad Y480 at S$1,499. Lenovo bills the A720 as the industry's slimmest 27-inch all-in-one.
Derrick invited me to the first Lenovo Blogger Night at 7atenine in the Esplanade Mall. The food and drinks were good, with no big crowd, around 20 of us, roughly half bloggers and the rest from Text 100.
