Lenovo Introduces Cost Effective Desktop PC

Lenovo this week took the wraps off its latest range of desktop PC for the business touting it as “most cost effective and environmentally friendly.”

Aimed at helping businesses with cost effective computing solutions, the ThinkCentre A62, based on AMD’s business class CPU, is starting at a retail price of 831 dollars.

“IT departments, especially in the business world, don’t like change,” said Ronnie Lee, Country General Manager, Lenovo Singapore and Brunei.

“The new ThinkCentre A62 was built to provide business customers with longer PC buying cycles. It combines top-notch performance, manageability and environmental responsibility in a high value machine.”

Using the new AMD 15w CPU – Athlon 2650e- the A62 apparently uses up 40 percent less electricity than its ThinkCentre predecessor, the A61.

“The Lenovo ThinkCentre A62 desktop is based on AMD Business Class technology to enable the performance needed by organizations to meet real world productivity needs while keeping energy consumption in check, said Greg White, corporate vice president desktop and embedded division, AMD.

The ThinkCentre A62 is available starting September 2008 through business partners.
