Lenovo rolls out new business orientated computers and displays
Lenovo today unveiled a range of business computers and displays that they are billing as industry firsts.
The ThinkCentre M90z, is being promoted as the “first business orientated” 23 inch all in one. Details are slim with Lenovo saying that the M90z will use Intel Core i5 and i3 processors, and a vague statement that it will use “DDR3 memory, selection of hard drives or a solid state drive, a DVD player and optional WiFi/Bluetooth”.
Additional business features include easier web conferencing with an array mic and better controls, and Intel vPro and Lenovo’s Hardware Password Manager for encrypted hard drives.
The high end Think Station and C20/C20x are aimed squarely at the financial sector, with slimmer design, which Lenovo says will mean “an analyst can also attach and run up to eight monitors”.
The workstations come with choice of Intel Xeon 5600 Series processors, up to 96GB of DDR3 memory on the C20x with 12 available DIMM slots. There’s up to two NVIDIA FX4800 class graphics and compatibility with SBFI Trading and Control Room Furniture.
“While more and more people are using mobile devices, there are lots of environments where desktop products simply make more sense, and these latest Lenovo products showcase how our new innovations are leading in all-in-one desktops,” said Peter Hortensius, senior vice president, Think Product Group, Lenovo.
“We believe all-in-one is the future of desktops, so we created the ThinkCentre M90z to deliver everything large enterprise customers need: no compromised performance, customized ergonomic features and a full web conferencing experience.”
The L2230x Wide display combines a 21.5 inch screen and a port replicator to give business laptop more flexibility. ThinkVision L2321x Wide monitor meanwhile, allows split screen views on one display.
There’s no word yet on UK pricing or release, but they’re coming to US this month and next.
