Lenovo launches Flex Dual Mode Notebooks
Lenovo unveiled a flurry of products at an
event that it hosted at the IFA 2013 in Berlin including a new smartphone,
tablet and a couple of notebook convertibles. While the company's Yoga
convertibles cater to the high-end segment, it announced two new notebooks
under the Flex series, the Flex 14 and the Flex 15 that also come with flexible
screens. However, unlike the Yoga, the two notebooks do not go back 360 degrees
and stop at 300 degrees, which means that they can't be used as tablets. Available
in notebook and Ultrabook configurations, the Flex 14 and Flex 15 are dual-mode
14.1-inch and 15.6-inch laptops that flip 300 degrees offering a stand mode,
positioning the screen closer to the user.
The notebooks sport soft-touch black cover
trimmed with silver or clementine orange colours. The devices offer users a choice between the
standard HD 1366X768 pixels display and a full-HD 1920X1080pixels one,
integrating 10-point multitouch optimised for Windows 8. Flex 14 and 15 are
come with up to Intel 4th generation Core ULT i7 processors(Haswell), up to
Nvidia discrete GT 740M graphics, up to 1 TB of storage and optional SSD (Solid
State Drive) or NAND flash on Ultrabook configuration models. It also comes
with the option of a backlit keyboard. The notebooks come with Lenovo's YouCam
program for snapping webcam photos and voice commands. It also offers Dolby
Advanced Audio v2 and an HDMI-out connection. The Flex devices offer up to 9
hours of battery life on Ultrabook configurations. "People around the
world have told us they love the flexibility of Yoga and Horizon's
multimodes," said Tom Shell, vice president and general manager, Lenovo
Business Group PC Division, Lenovo. "Our new Flex products represent this
multimode future of PC design, bringing the functionality of some of our
coolest modes - stand and flat - now to our mainstream devices," said Tom
Shell, vice president and general manager, Lenovo Business Group PC Division,
Lenovo.
The starting price for the Flex 14/ 15
notebooks is $629.99 and they will be available starting late September.In
addition to the two notebooks, Lenovo also introduced Flex 20 All-in-one or
table PC that features a 19.5-inch frameless HD (1600X900) IPS 90 degree tilt
