Lenovo has reshaped its ThinkCentre business desktop line by introducing its first all-in-one (AIO) desktop PC – the ThinkCentre A70z. Built for the needs of small and medium businesses (SMB) all the way up to large corporations, the AIO offers a budget-friendly alternative to the traditional desktop PC. With a price tag that starts at P40,000, the ThinkCentre A70z comes with Intel Core2Duo processors and delivers a fast boot-up time as one of Lenovo’s Enhanced Experience certified PCs for Windows 7. The ThinkCentre A70z saves 70% more space, takes less time to set up and service and consumes less power than traditional desktops.

According to IDC, the commercial all-in-one PC segment is projected to grow 16% year to year worldwide in 2010 with most of the desktop market consisting of SMBs, small office/home office users and consumers.  This trend fits into the growing SMB PC market, which is forecast to grow to more than 99 million units in 2011.

The compact ThinkCentre A70z includes a 19-inch 16:10 widescreen LCD monitor packed into a 2.4-inch black frame that complements just about any office environment.  It can also be mounted flush against an office wall, supported with a radial stand or rested against a leg stand similar to how a picture frame works. The AIO’s single power cable helps eliminate unsightly cable clutter that plagues office desk space, and the built-in handle on the back of the monitor makes transporting easy.
