Lenovo recently announced three new laptops in their special
event in Beijing this week. And unlike what most laptops Lenovo has released in
the past couple of months, these three new machines are made specifically with
a certain niche in mind.
For starters, there’s the Lenovo Ideapad 100, which comes in
either a 14-inch or 15-inch variant. The laptop is powered by an Intel Bay
Trail M chip with a 2.16GHz quad-core processor and comes with up to 8GB of RAM
and 500GB of HDD storage (up to 128GB for SSD).
The Ideapad 100 will be sold for $249 when it becomes
available next month. If you’re surprised about the low price, it’s because
Lenovo has sacrificed some things to get to this price point. More
specifically, they opted for a 30WHr battery on the device which will only last
for four hours.
Now, if you’re not willing to make the sacrifice in the
battery department, Lenovo is also introducing two new members of its Z-series,
namely the Z41 (14-inch) and the Z51 (15-inch).
The two models have similar specs with the Z41 acting as a
base model for the two. Both models come with Full HD display and Dolby DS 1.0
Home Theater Surround Sound system. Moreover, they can be equipped with the
latest Intel Core processors and each can come with an optional dedicated
graphics card from AMD (R7 for the Z41 and R9 for the Z51).
Both models can also be equipped with up to 16GB of RAM and
to 1TB of storage. The Z51 also comes with an optional Intel RealSense 3D
camera that can scan real-world objects into 3D models and gives users that
feature of refocusing an image even after the photo has been taken.
The Lenovo Z41 and Z51 will be offered on stores by June
with a price tag of $499 and $599 respectively.
