14 DAY TRIAL // Beside the two portable computing systems we've talked about earlier, Lenovo has decided to also come up with an offering targeting specifically the fans of desktop PCs, and unveiled the IdeaCentre K330, a high-end system providing plenty of cool features under the hood.
First and foremost, we'll have to mention that the IdeaCentre K330 has quite an attractive look, featuring a metallic and vibrant color scheme, that leverages the sleek, impressive design.
However, the new desktop PC from Lenovo is a whole lot more than just another pretty face, since it is powered by Intel Core i7 processors with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0., accompanied by up to 16GB DDR3 memory, twin RAID0-configured hard disk drives and up to 4TB HDD storage.
The desktop system also sports a Power Control Switch that provides easy changing between three convenient power modes for the fan and CPU speed – Turbo Red for high speed and power performance, Auto Blue for regular operation and Cool Green for the silent, energy-saving mode.
Other multimedia-related features provided by the K330 include an integrated DVD or Blu-ray Disc drive, optional TV Tuner and HD graphics support, namely HD 1920x1080 resolution and DirectX 11 graphics.
The IdeaCentre K330 also features the Lenovo Dynamic Brightness System to adjust screen brightness based on ambient light and the Lenovo Eye Distance System to alert users when they are too close to the screen for ultimate eye protection.
The OneKey Recovery makes data backup and recovery a simple one-touch task while the tool-free CPU design eliminates the need to use a screwdriver to open the K330 so upgrades and replacements are quick and easy.
The IdeaCentre K330 will be available in early 2011 and will start at $699, but no specific details regarding the exact availability date (or separate hardware options) have been provided until now.
