Philip DeFranco may have been voted 2008's sexiest geek (we demand a recount), but it's Lenovo who turning on the real sex appeal with its newly introduced IdeaCentre A600, an all-in-one PC which borrows from the iMac's form factor and turns it into porn-worthy hardware.
"Lenovo brings consumers the next generation of desktop computing with the IdeaCentre A600 – Lenovo’s first all-in-one desktop," Lenovo states in its press release. "The new, sleek IdeaCentre A600 all-in-one features a 21.5-inch frameless screen, and provides discerning space-conscious and style-conscious users a modern design that measures only one inch at its slimmest point, making it the slimmest all-in-one in the industry."
Spec-wise, the A600 comes configured with an Intel Pentium Dual Core or Core 2 Duo mobile processor on Intel's G45M chipset, up to 4GB of DDR3-1066 memory, up to 1TB of hard drive space, DX10 capable integrated graphics with the option of upgrading to 256MB or 512MB ATI graphics, an optional Blu-ray drive and TV tuner, VeriFace 3.5 facial recognition, touch sensitive controls, optional 4-in-1 remote, and the usual assortment of ports, minus HDMI-in, which doesn't appear on the spec sheet.
Lenovo's billing the all-in-one PC as a wonder-rig of sorts that attempts to appeal to gaming enthusiasts with its 4-in-1 remote, "the first to bring PC users the ability to play games using the remote control's 'motion drive' feature," entertainment enthusiasts with its "cinema-like viewing and support for 1920x1080 full HD," and power users with the multitude of optional upgrades.
According to Gizmodo, pricing starts at $1,000 without all the nifty extras.
