Lenovo IdeaCentre A720

My first impression on seeing the Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 was the sleek and stylish iMac desktop portrayed by the metallic chassis and its form factor. But it is not just a good looking desktop PC, with it’s cleverly design adjustable display and touchscreen capabilities, it brings entertainment to a whole new level. Preloaded with renowned touchscreen games like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, you can tilt the display until it is flat on the table and transform this desktop into a super cool 27″ tablet.

Enjoy the ultimate home multimedia experience with the thinnest 27″ All-In-One desktop PC at only 24.5mm that is equipped with a Blu-ray player, integrated TV tuner and Dolby Home Theatre enhanced stereo speakers.
