The Lenovo ThinkCentre M75e Review: a Small Form Factor Desktop Computer

Dan Cohen — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 23:00:48 +0000

It has been a while since I have used a desktop computer, and even longer since I used a desktop computer running Windows. Truth be told, the last time I had the opportunity to use a Windows desktop computer it was not the most pleasing experience. Yes, it was in the days of Vista, and despite decent hardware I felt like the computer was more trouble than it was worth. With that in mind, when I had the opportunity to review the ThinkCentre M75e Small Form Factor computer from Lenovo, I was initially a bit conflicted. On the one hand, I am probably not the best person to review a Windows desktop thanks to my history Continue reading on Gear Diary ...

Two New Lenovo Laptops Debuting at CES

Douglas Moran — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 16:30:34 +0000

No fancy engravings; no CEOs talking about how they're "magical" or "going to change the way we think of computers . . . forever!"; no spectacular launches with fireworks and drooling fanboys. But Lenovo keeps marching on, releasing solid, reliable laptops that businesses everywhere turn to when they need "another 500 please". A workhorse, really. Heck, four of the last five laptops I've been issued by companies have been Lenovos of one variety or another. They never blow me away, but they always seem to do just fine for what I need. And at CES this week, Lenovo will be demonstrating their newest systems. And there's little doubt in my mind that the new models--the Continue reading on Gear Diary ...
