Lenovo has pushed out a host of new machines spanning notebooks as well as all-in-one and compact desktops. The mobile systems are largely focused on entertainment and include the IdeaPad Z560, Z565, Z360 and U160, while the desktop models include the IdeaCentre Q150 nettop, A700 AIO, B305 AIO and the Lenovo H320 standard desktop package.
The Z560 and Z565 are the largest notebook additions, both measuring 15.6 inches and carrying 1366x768 displays. They're mostly identical except the Z560 is powered by an Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor and Nvidia 310M or 315M graphics, while the Z565 relies on single, dual, triple and quad-core AMD processors as well as ATI mobility Radeon HD 4200 or 5470 graphics. They can be configured with up to 8GB of RAM, 640GB of storage and a Blu-ray drive.
The Z360 simply crams the Z560's specs into a 13.3-inch body, but the 11.6-inch U160 changes the formula a bit. Although it has the same Intel processors as its bulkier siblings, it only offers Intel integrated graphics, up to 4GB of RAM and 500GB of storage and no Blu-ray drive. In its favor, the system boasts up to seven hours of runtime and weighs just over three pounds with a six-cell battery.
Moving down the line, the 21mm-thin IdeaCentre Q150 nettop packs a dual-core Atom D410 or 510 processor, an Nvidia Ion GPU, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, up to 500GB of storage, 802.11n Wi-Fi, four USB ports, VGA-out, 5.1 channel audio and a multimedia remote with a trackball mouse and keyboard.
