If you thought Lenovo was going to stop its announcements at ultrabooks and netbooks,
you obviously don’t know the company very well. The Chinese
announcement marathon continued with a bunch of solid desktop computers
and refreshed all-in-ones.
More specifically, the IdeaCentre B-series got a refresh in the form
of the B540 and B340 powerful all-in-ones, while the Lenovo desktop
family got new members from the IdeaCentre K and H series.
IdeaCentre B540 and B340
Let’s start with the IdeaCentre B540 and B340 all-in-ones. The B540
will come with a 23-inch full HD display out of the box, while the
lower-end B340 sports a 21.5-inch one.Lenovo says the new B-series have
an improved multi-touch technology and can be ordered with 3D screens if
you want.

The company doesn’t get too specific on the processor part, but both
machines will have Intel Core CPUs of some kind, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM,
2TB SATA III hard drives and up to 1GB-packing NVIDIA GeForce 615M
graphics card.
Both AIOs can be purchased with the optional OnKey TV4, which is
Lenovo’s own way of switching between the PC and TV modes of the
computer. There’s also a picture-in-picture mode and the ability to
watch just TV without powering the PC on. Expect the refreshed B-series
in June with a starting price of $699.
IdeaCentre K430 and Lenovo H520s
Moving on to the tower desktops we come upon the IdeaCentre K430,
which is a real treat if you are loaded enough to spec it to the max.
It’s powered by Intel Core i7 CPUs, up to 32GB of DDR3 SDRAM,
dual-graphics support by either NVIDIA or AMD, and up to 4TB of HDD
configured in RAID 0.

The H520s, unlike its more powerful brother, chooses to provide
better value for money instead of ultimate performance. It comes with
an Intel Core family CPU, 2GB AMD Radeon HD7570 or a 2GB NVIDIA GeForce
GPU and 8GB of DDR3 SDRAM. The maximum storage available is 2TB.
The IdeaCentre K430 will be available in May with a starting price tag of $599, while the H520s will pop up in June for $499.
