Lenovo made a debut into the consumer desktop market “outside
of China” this week with the launch of its latest creation, the IdeaCentre K210
desktop. This is the first time that the U.S. market will benefit from more
than just the Lenovo notebooks.
The computer maker is not only launching a desktop PC, it’s
launching a smart desktop PC, based on the Bright Vision technology that
detects how far the user is from the monitor and adjusts the brightness
accordingly.
This technology is directly connected to the Lenovo Bright
Eye camera, which uses the VeriFace technology. This is in fact a facial
recognition technology that allows users to log in by having the camera
recognize their facial image.
However, not all K210 desktops sold in the U.S. come with the
Lenovo Bright Eye camera. According to the company, users won’t be able to
purchase the camera separately in the United States.
In addition to the amazing technologies, the K210 will also
come with a microbial keyboard, which uses a special material that stops
bacterial growth.
Computer keyboards are considered to be dirtier than toilets
when it comes to bacteria, according to the latest research in the field. Lenovo
decided to come to the aid of families where multiple people use the same
keyboard and are exposed to the “keyboard germs.”
On top of all that, Lenovo’s K210 desktop also comes with
the Lenovo Vantage Technology (LVT) menu, which enables an easier recovery from
system crashes or viruses with the help of a special system partition that
saves all critical data in the event of a system crash.
The K210 desktop comes with an Intel Core 2 Quad Processors
(2.6GHz or 2.4GHz), Intel GMA 3100 Integrated Graphics and an optional upgrade
to ATI Radeon 2600 XT (512MB) for PC gaming.
In addition to that, it also offers Blu-ray HD-DVD Combo or
DVD Rambo for some models, high definition audio 5.1 and 19-inch or 22-inch
display.
The IdeaCentre K210 has a starting price of $379 for the PC,
$229 for the 19-inch monitor and $299 for the 22-inch monitor after a mail-in-rebate.
