Lenovo Offers New Notebooks

Lenovo is using CES as a launchpad for a new range of IdeaPad laptops and a new all-in-one desktop.

Lenovo introduced its Ideapad notebooks at CES last year, and this year they’re bringing some new laptops to the party.

The IdeaPad Y650 will have a 16-inch display. At $1,199 it offers up to 4GB of DDR3 (double data rate 3) main memory and can go up to 500GB of hard disk drive data storage, using an Intel Centrino 2 platform with Intel Core 2 dual processors.

The IdeaPads Y550 and Y450 both retail for $829. The Y550 has the same memory and data configuration as the Y650 with a 15.6-inch screen, Intel Core 2 Duo processors and the Intel GM45 chip set. The Y450 is the same, but with a 14-inch screen.

And then there’s the desktop, the IdeaCenter A600, which packs a whopping 4GB of DDR3 memory and 1TB of hard disk drive data storage, along with an Intel Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual Core processor. With a 21.5-inch frameless monitor, it’s set to sell for $999. It should go on sale in April, with the laptops available from March.
