Lenovo offers Windows 7-based PCs

Lenovo announced that it is  now offering a broad  portfolio of Think and
Idea-branded PCs running the new Windows 7 operating system. Lenovo is also
introducing two new ThinkPad laptops geared for the way small to medium
businesses (SMB) work.

Lenovo has certified many of its Windows 7 PCs under the Lenovo Enhanced
Experience program. This certification ensures that the PCs provide powerful
performance, rich multimedia and flexible ease of use. “For three years,
Microsoft and Lenovo engineers have worked tirelessly together to jointly create
a PC experience that is better, faster, more stable and more secure," said Rory
Read, President and CEO, Lenovo. “This has been an unparalleled effort to
integrate hardware and software from the ground up. As a result, we've created
new innovations in touch technology, improved speed and performance across the
board and developed a host of other enhancements that will make a meaningful
difference to our customers worldwide," he added.

The new ThinkPad SL laptops are the ideal technology companions for SMBs.
Select models come with 3G connectivity. WiFi, Ethernet and optional Bluetooth
technologies are also offered. For a strong VoIP experience, Lenovo has
increased the resolution of the cameras, added a microphone mute button and
improved the digital microphone. The new laptops are also some of Lenovo's
greenest. They are the first ThinkPad laptops to use post-consumer recycled
materials, helping keep waste out of landfills, and are rated EPEAT Gold and
Energy Star 5.0.

“Customers expect a great PC experience, and that's what Microsoft and Lenovo
have worked together to deliver,” said Steve Guggenheimer, Corporate VP-Original
Equipment Manufacturer Division, Microsoft. “Our collaboration and joint
innovations have resulted in faster and more reliable scenarios so customers can
use their PCs in more new and exciting ways,” he added.
