Lenovo Unveils New C100 All-in-One Widescreen PC

From DailyTech: It's easy to understand why netbooks are so popular with consumers today. The little notebooks are very portable and have low average prices making them affordable for most users despite the poor economy. On the desktop front, the all-in-one segment is the fastest growing with IDC pegging the segment to grow at 12.4% from 2008 to 2014.

Lenovo pulled the wraps off a new all-in-one PC that puts an emphasis on style and low cost today called the C100. The machine has a svelte profile of only two inches deep despite the all-in-one design of the machine. The thin machine has a webcam, speakers, and a mic built-in to the case as well.

The screen of the C100 is an 18.5-inch 16:9 aspect ratio unit. The machine is powered by an Intel Atom 330 dual core processor and has an integrated DVD burner and four USB ports. Lenovo also packs the C100 with 1GB of RAM, Intel GMA 950 graphics and a 160GB HDD. Windows XP comes on the machine, but you can expect to see Windows 7 offered in a few weeks when the new OS launches. The C100 will start at $399.

“Packed with cool experiences and available at a very affordable price, the C100 expands Lenovo’s consumer offering for the fast growing all-in-one market segment,” said Dion Weisler, vice president, Business Operations, Lenovo. “The C100 is simple to set up and easy to use, ideal for those seeking a convenient way to enhance their digital lifestyle.”
