IdeaCentre A600:Lenovo’s Premium All-In-One Desktop Computer
The IdeaCentre A600 is taking its place as Lenovo's premium all-in-one desktop computer. Some of its highlights include a 21.5-inch full-HD monitor, multifunctional remote controller, and a nifty wireless keyboard with touchpad. This is an effort on Lenovo's part to blur the line between your PC and TV. The IdeaCentre sports
an impressive combination of features and performance and comes with a price tag to match.
All-in-one Design
There is no separate cabinet, and the IdeaCentre A600's centrepiece is its slim screen. This screen is special. It is a glossy, 21.5-inch wide and has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. This is part of Lenovo's effort to blur the PC-TV difference. The resolution makes it perfect for high-definition movie playback. On either side of the curved bezel there is a combination of connectivity ports and an optical drive, and touch-sensitive settings button on the front. Like any other monitor, you can adjust the IdeaCentre A600's angle by tilting it forward and back.The screen curves inwards below the bezel and is secured firmly to a stand. This extended curved bezel also houses the onboard speakers, along with a sub-woofer located on the back panel.
Features and Specificationss
The Lenovo A600 is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 2-GHz processor, with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 640GB (7200rpm) hard drive. There is also a built in TV tuner and has a socket placed on the back panel to plug in your cable TV connection. The graphics card is a Radeon HD3650. Also equipped with Dolby Home Theater surround sound and Windows Media Center combine to make the Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 a very good candidate for a home theater system. Other extra accompaniments: 4-in-1 remote controller, wireless mouse and keyboard (with a touchpad).
Unfortunately, The IdeaCentre A600 doesn't include an HDMI port, but all other input-output ports are well represented: 6 USB ports, Firewire, multicard reader, Gigabit Ethernet, Wireless 802.11n, DVD writer, headphone and microphone ports all show up on the connectivity front. There is an option to include a Blu-ray ROM drive to further enhance its high-definition playback potential.
Usability and Performance
The Lenovo IdeaCentre A600's keyboard appears to be slim-and-light and very well built. The inclusion of a touchpad and mouse buttons are very convenient as you might expect, allowing you to control it from a range of 25 feet. The wireless keyboard is a major plus, and the 4-in-1 remote controller just sweetens the [pt. It acts as an air mouse for controlling the PC. Just point the remote at the screen and move it left or right to simulate the mouse-pointer movement on the screen. You can also use it as a phone with VOIP services like Skype, and play bundled games just like on a Nintendo Wii. You will be asking yourself "Is there anything this desktop computer doesn't do?" You can serve for real while playing tennis, stoop and bowl while bowling, and more. With 3D motion detection via the remote, it becomes very addictive. Whether you are watching movies, or playing games - the A600 can do it all.
It comes with Lenovo's proprietary VeriFace face-recognition technology and a OneKey backup solution. It has a respectable WorldBench score of 87, and 3D Mark 06 score of 3086, it scores well on any benchmarks you care to throw its way.
My Conclusions
:
The Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 is an excellent effort to create a combination of a television set with a PC, and I would highly recommendit to anyone interested in enjoying the best of both worlds. When you consider the added bonus of Wii-like gaming with the wonder remote, it is a unique product, in a class of its own. It thoroughly justifies its premium price tag of $1,473. It is not a cheap desktop computer but with all it can do, it is a very good desktop computer deal.
