BERLIN -- (Business Wire)
Lenovo
(SEHK:0992) (Pink Sheets:LNVGY) today announced at the 2014
IFA Consumer Electronics Unlimited show in Berlin an expanded
portfolio of tablets and PCs that gives consumers more options for
tablets that fit their mobile lifestyle as well as choices of dedicated
gaming PCs. The new lineup kicks off with the TAB S8, Lenovo’s first
Intel-powered Android tablet. Lenovo also announced two new
high-performance gaming PCs: the Y70 Touch, Lenovo’s first 17-inch touch
laptop with the latest processor and graphics technology for HD gaming,
and the ERAZER X315, Lenovo’s latest affordable desktop gaming PCs.
TAB S8: Combines Android Experience with Intel Performance
Lenovo created the TAB S8 for consumers who are looking for a stylish,
slim and affordable Android tablet starting at just $199. At 8-inches,
the TAB S8’s 1920x1200 infinity screen is sharper than FHD, while the
One Glass Solution touch-panel technology provides a crystal clear
viewing experience. The tablet’s ultra-slim bezel seamlessly merges the
screen with the dark front panel, giving the TAB S8 a sleek, clean look.
The front panel also features a 1.6-megapixel HD camera for easy video
chatting. Turn the TAB S8 around to reveal an 8-megapixel rear-facing
camera. The wide aperture f2.2 lens snaps sharp photos, even in low
light. Pre-installed apps, like SHAREit, allow for easy and safe photo
and file sharing.
Engineered to give users the most from their mobile device without
sacrificing portability, the Lenovo TAB S8 marks Lenovo’s first 8-inch
Android tablet powered by an Intel processor. Available with the Intel
Atom Z3745 Processor with Intel® Burst Performance Technology, the TAB
S8 dynamically matches processing power to the task at hand in order to
maximize battery life without compromising speed in a thin and light
design. The TAB S8 is just 0.65 pounds and 0.31 inches thin, nearly as
thin as a standard pencil.
Additional features include optional high-speed LTE (4G) connectivity
(based on Intel® XMMTM 7160) and Wi-Fi for data connectivity, up to
seven hours of battery life to keep users cord-free, and 64-bit
technology compatibility. The TAB S8 runs Android 4.4 KitKat, includes
2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, Bluetooth 4.0 and Dolby®-enhanced dual
front speakers.
Y70 Touch: Extreme Performance for HD Gaming
The Lenovo Y70 Touch comes with an up to 4th generation
Intel® Core™ i7 processor and powerful NVIDIA GTX graphics, making it
ideal for heavy entertainment use and HD gaming. At 17 inches, the Y70
Touch is Lenovo’s largest touchscreen laptop, opening up a whole new
level of interaction for video editing, social sharing and gaming.
The Y70 delivers a fantastic audio and visual experience, with a FHD
display that brings movies and games to life with enhanced color,
clarity and resolution. Its JBL®-designed stereo speakers and subwoofer
paired with Dolby® Advanced Audio provide a totally immersive audio
experience rarely found on a laptop. The backlit keyboard glows in dimly
lit environments, adding to the overall visual experience.
At under 7.5 pounds, the Y70 Touch is thinner and lighter than most
other laptops in its class thanks to the included external optical disc
drive that supports both DVD and Blu-ray. The Y70 Touch also features up
to five hours of battery life and customizable memory and storage
options, with up to 16GB DDR3L and 1TB of SSHD storage or 256GB SSD
storage.
ERAZER X315: Smooth, Immersive Gaming with Design Flare
The Lenovo ERAZER X315 is the latest addition to Lenovo’s line of
affordable gaming desktop PCs. To keep users in the action, the ERAZER
X315 features AMD Radeon™ R9 series graphics, a quad-core processor and
up to 2TB of SSHD. The combined power and speed allows users to play the
most intense games seamlessly without lag. The ERAZER X315 boosts the
gaming experience with immersive audio featuring 7.1 channel sound
support and Dolby® enhancements.
The newly designed chassis features front LED lighting and a futuristic
profile that mimics the smooth lines of a knight’s armor. The front
panel also features a one-touch port cover for easy access and a hidden
air vent that keeps the device cool when the gaming heats up.
Other features include up to 12GB of memory, four USB 3.0 ports and
always-on USB charging port for enhanced connectivity.
