Lenovo Offers IdeaCentre A600 Desktop Home Theater PC with Blu-ray for $999
By Rachel Cericola
At January's Consumer Electronics Show, Lenovo showed off a few new systems for all to drool over. Now they are actually showing them off for purchase.
The new and improved
IdeaCentre A600 (model
30113AU) may be a simple desktop PC but it's one that warrants its own La-Z-Boy. That's because the A600 can actually fulfill all of your entertainment needs, providing most of the features of a true Home Theater Personal Computer (HTPC).
Aside from its 21.5-inch high-def screen, the IdeaCentre A600 also includes a Blu-ray player, an integrated speaker system with subwoofer, and Dolby Home Theater audio. In case you can pry your eyes away from movies, it also comes with a Wii-like remote for gaming, TV, VoIP phone services, and everyday computer use.
Starting at $999, other features include an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR3 memory, up to 1TB of hard drive space, and Microsoft Vista Media Center.
In case you want to take some of the magic on the go, Lenovo will also offer the
IdeaPad Y650 laptop. There’s no Blu-ray (boo!), but it stuffs a 16-inch HD screen, nVIDIA graphics, JBL speakers and Dolby sound in a 5.6-pound package. Starting at $1,150, this will be available alongside the A600 later this month.
