Lenovo To Release PCs That Rival Apple's iMac and Macbook

Posted by Shaun Seneviratne

 


Lenovo has been making pretty legit PCs for awhile, becoming a standard among businesses, but Lenovo's computers always had that dated look with the red trackpad in the middle. It seems that they've taken a tip from the Apple folk and are set to release more consumer friendly PCs that can be seen as worthy rivals to the Macbook and iMac. 

Starting at roughly the same price as a Macbook ($1,000), the Lenovo IdeaPad Y650 is made from carbon fiber, making it the thinnest and lightest notebook in its class. It also enables a multi-touch trackpad, a built in microphone, and camera, making it even more Mac-like.

On its home computing front, Lenovo is releasing the IdeaCentre A600 to tackle the iMac head on. What separates it from the iMac is its speaker system (which includes a subwoofer), facial recognition log in, and a remote that doubles as a headset.

Both computers have options for BluRay as well.

If I ever had to switch back to PC, I'd definitely get one of these Lenovos. Since they recently made updates to the iMac and Macbooks, the Apple folks may not come up with something to blow consumers away by the time these Lenovos are released.

Lenovo just might save the PC, rendering the Mac as Apple sauce (a-heh-heh-heh).
