North Carolina: Lenovo has unveiled two new consumer PCs, C200 with optional NVIDIA ION graphics, and the IdeaPad S10-3s. "Our new S-series netbook and C-series all-in-one PCs are stylish in design but offer a relaxing computing experience that all consumers can appreciate," said Dion Weisler, Vice President, Business Operations, Lenovo. "Whether you are looking for a family PC for your living room or one for your travels, Lenovo PCs are designed to make computing more fun and intuitive." Lenovo C200 has an 18.5 inch HD 16:9 widescreen display, up to NVIDIA ION 256MB graphics processor for high definition video support and an optional single-touch touchscreen panel. This all-in-one computer, available with up to Intel Atom Dual Core processor D510, and complete with an integrated DVD reader/writer, is the ideal PC for any room in the home. For improved video chat communications, the C200 features integrated stereo speakers and the Lenovo High-Sense Webcam, which boasts a larger lens and finer color and shading sensitivity to create clearer images and greater contrast, especially in low-light environments. "The Lenovo C200 with NVIDIA ION is an ideal way to meet the 'info-tainment' needs of today's digital family. Its snappy graphics and big screen are perfect for accessing the Internet, sharing family photos, playing casual games together or enjoying the latest online videos in high definition," said David Ragones, Director of ION and GeForce product marketing, NVIDIA. The C200 is equipped with the Lenovo Rescue System - a quick and easy solution to back up and restore important data files. The IdeaPad S10-3s has Intel Atom N470 or N450 processor and is available in black, white or a "spring flowers" cover pattern. The S10-3s offers a familiar typing experience similar to a full size laptop with its 98 percent full-size chiclet keyboard, with individually-spaced and rounded keys that make typing comfortable and easy. The S10-3s comes with Dolby Headphone audio, while DirectShare allows users to instantly sync their files wirelessly with any other type and brand of computer, without even connecting to the web. The S10-3s also features Active Protection System (APS) - a feature previously found only on Lenovo's premium ThinkPad and IdeaPad laptops, but now fitted as standard across the S10-3 netbook range. And with VeriFace face recognition technology and OneKey Rescue System data recovery and anti-virus tools, the S10-3s is packed with features that make computing more fun and convenient. Users can choose from a suite of wireless options like 802.11b/g/n, WWAN, 3G and Bluetooth. The Lenovo C200 is available in the U.S. currently at $399, while the IdeaPad S10-3s is available at around $379.
