Lenovo IdeaPad A1 quietly goes on sale in US

Posted on Oct 07, 2011 by MG1

Lenovo has quietly begun taking sales for its new IdeaPad Tablet A1. The company had announced the entry-level device back in early September with similar lack of fanfare. The seven-inch device, which runs Android 2.3, is priced from $199 to $249, depending on capacity.
The IdeaPad A1 runs on a low-cost, 1GHz TI OMAP 3622 ARM Cortex-A8 processor, a front two-megapixel camera, and a rear five-megapixel camera. The base built-in storage is as little as 2GB, with an optional 16GB version. Lenovo claims the battery runs for up to five hours, or up to seven hours when just browsing.
The 2GB version, available in black, is priced at $199. A 16GB version, which comes in a choice of black, blue, whi...

Ex-Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci joins Lenovo as a consultant

Ex-Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci joins Lenovo as a consultant

Posted on Sep 19, 2011 by MG1

Filed in: AcerLenovo

We haven't heard much from outspoken former Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci since he left the company back in March of this year, but it looks like he's now ready to get back into the PC business in a slightly different role. Lenovo confirmed today that Lanci is joining the company as a consultant to "help develop and accelerate Lenovo's worldwide consumer business." Initially, those efforts will be mostly focused on Lenovo's integration of German PC manufacturer Medion, which it acquired in June for $907 million, but it sounds like this is more than just a short-term gig -- he does get to stay in Italy, though. Head on past the break for Lenovo's complete statement.

Lenovo IdeaPad A1 is a 7-inch Android tablet that will be available for $199

Posted on Sep 05, 2011 by MG1

Lenovo unveiled what we think is a mass-market tablet (if there is such a thing) at this year’s IFA in Berlin, Germany. The IdeaPad A1 comes with a 7-inch 1024×600 pixels touchscreen, single-core processor, 3-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera for video calls, Wi-Fi connectivity (no 3G), while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. In other words, we’re talking about a device that’s pretty much the same as the Samsung Galaxy Tab, specs wise.
The good news is the price – Lenovo’s baby will be available starting from $199 for the 8GB version. 16 and 32 GB models, which will be available in the U.S., will retail for $249 and $299, respectively. Hopefully European prices won...

Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet visits the FCC, meeting described as business-like

Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet visits the FCC, meeting described as business-like

Posted on Aug 09, 2011 by MG1

This isn't a case where an FCC appearance offers our first hint of an imminent release, but those holding out for Lenovo's ThinkPad Tablet instead of the company's more consumer-minded IdeaPad K1 can at least rest assured that things are apparently still on track. The tablet's now officially passed through the FCC, which should be the device's last major stop before its August 23rd release date. Not much else in the way of surprises, as you might expect, but ThinkPad fans do now have some handsome line art to enjoy while they wait for the real thing. Hit the source link below for a bigger version, along with the few other parts of the filing that remain non-confidential.

Ghosting issues haunt Lenovo ThinkPad X220

Ghosting issues haunt Lenovo ThinkPad X220

Posted on Aug 04, 2011 by MG1

Some Lenovo customers are concerned about ghosting on LCD screens in the ThinkPad X220 laptop, in which images temporarily remain fixed on screens, but the company tried to allay fears by saying that images dissipate in a short time and do not damage panels.
The ghosting phenomena -- commonly called image persistence -- are common to LCDs and do not cause images to burn into displays, said Ray Gorman, a Lenovo spokesman, in an email. But some customers have raised concerns, saying the image persistence was prominent, and the issue was not as seemingly normal as projected by Lenovo.

Lenovo ThinkPad tablet will start selling on August 23 starting at $479

Lenovo ThinkPad tablet will start selling on August 23 starting at $479

Posted on Aug 03, 2011 by MG1

We knew Lenovo will ask a premium for its ThinkPad-branded tablet; nevertheless we were surprised when they announced the price – $479 will get you the basic model, which comes with Wi-Fi only connectivity, 16GB of built-in storage and no digitizer pen. To get that stylus, you’ll have to add another $30 bucks, which drives your total bill to $509. What’s more, presuming you need more space, the 32 gig version will get $589 out of your pocket (digital pen included). Needless to say, a separate keyboard is not part of the deal and it could be yours for an additional $99.
Kinda outrageous when you see what other OEMs are offering. Hopefully some carrier will pick the ThinkPad tablet and offer i...
