Lenovo has come out with a new line of monitors dubbed the LS Series. With these new displays, Lenovo intends to give small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) features "crafted to their unique needs," such as bright images and touch-enabled navigational control. In the same breath, Lenovo also announced its new professional grade ThinkCentre Edge 71 desktop family available in tower and small form factors.

The LS2221 comes with VGA and DVI connections, while the LS2421p sports VGA and HDMI outputs, a four-port USB hub, and up to 300 brightness level. Both come with capacitive touch buttons, tilt stand, and a slim bezel.

Lenovo's ThinkCentre Edge 71 desktops are configurable with up to an Intel Core i7 processor, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, up to 1TB of hard drive storage (SSD options available), integrated or discrete graphics up to AMD Radeon Caico with 1GB of dedicated memory, DVD burner, GbE LAN, and six USB ports,,
