Chinese tech giant Lenovo recently released the IdeaCentre Y710 Cube, a compact gaming PC with great amounts of power to deliver excellent performance to both workers and gamers. It starts at $1,699, and it is readily available from Lenovo, Microsoft, and select retailers.
The launch of the Lenovo IdeaCentre Y710 Cube remains a traditional approach in contrast to the recent wave of all-in-one PC unveilings. Microsoft introduced the Surface Studio last month, while just last week Dell teased its upcoming Smart Desk.
Lenovo is not innovating only in the PC realm, but also in the mobile front. The company recently released the Tango-enabled Phab 2 Pro in the U.S. for $499. Lenovo plans to reveal next-gen Motorola smartphone models later this November.
