I tested it out and had a great time playing some heavy duty computer games which rendered very smoothly and effort lessly! The graphics card and sound card were of high quality giving a wonderful experience for all gamers!
Also part of the new portfolio was the much-awaited, CES award winner, Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon 27; which is the world’s first multi-user, multi-touch, multi-mode table PC with hundreds of pre-loaded games! This interpersonal device claims to bring families together for a shared computing experience over the solitary computing nature of most other devices. Its USP includes a supersized screen, dynamic graphics and touch screen and it also doubles as a user’s high performance, all-in-one 27-inch desktop. Horizon brings a new perspective to computing – one that makes the experience shared, collaborative and personal.
