14 DAY TRIAL // Lenovo may have already unleashed a number of devices over the past week, but it looks like it still has something up his sleeve, in this case a new system intended for the business IT market.
Like so many other companies, Lenovo was present at the 2011 edition of the CeBIT trade show in Hannover, Germany.
Granted, the expo itself was actually far less rich in new product announcements than one may have expected, but it was not barren either.
Among other things, Lenovo put on show the IdeaPad S205 notebook, powered by an AMD Fusion E-350 APU, as well as a laptop with eye-tracking technology, said to be the first of its kind.
Now, it is revealed that the outfit also has something for the business segment of the IT market, namely an addition to the ThinkCentre desktop series.
Said addition is known as M91p and is a desktop computer that can take several shapes, depending on the application it is meant for.
To be more specific, it can have not just a tower case, but also a small form factor and an eco small form factor enclosure.
At the heart of it all lies either an Intel Core i5 or a Core i7 processor, with its own HD graphics or complemented by a discrete card, for up to four display support. Meanwhile, 16 GB of RAM (random access memory) back up the CPU.
For storage purposes, either one or two hard disk drives can be utilized, while eight USB ports, including on-board USB 3.0, handle high-speed external devices.
Other features, meant to enhance security and productivity, are the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a secure cryptoprocessor (handles encryption keys) and the RapidBoost function (reduces boot times by up to 20 seconds).
With a starting price of $899, the system is expected to start shipping next month.
