Lenovo Horizon Goes up Against iMAC? Meet Lenovo's 27-inch Table PC
Three years ago, iPad made waves because it was bottomless and a touch screen - that was years ago. From then on, rivals of Apple Inc. started producing their own versions ranging from ten inches to eleven. Samsung alone has nearly every size anyone think so. Today, it is not just about touch screens and bottom computers. Variation is crucial and Lenovo brings to the table their 27-inch table PC.
Tablets are still popular but they are losing their shine against the newest line of computing devices: ultrabooks and high end computers. The big screens and high resolution displays are back but they have not lost their portability or convenience.
The Lenovo Horizon is not just bending the usual in computing today but it teleports back and transforms everything. The screen is 27 inches diagonally. Many of the company's competitors will probably find it confusing whether Lenovo is marketing a tablet or an all-in-one PC. The debate can go on forever.
Is the Horizon a tablet or a PC? What is it exactly? Running on three hours worth of battery can confuse most consumers. There is also the optional table and rolling adjustable stand to fix, secure and elevate the Horizon.
One this is for sure, Lenovo's Horizon brings a novel idea to the table. The market does not have anything related so it is fresh. It avoids the usual features making it a standout. The isolated case of Horizon may just be the device's leverage in gaining a good market share. To a certain extent, the Horizon symbolizes the way people used to work around computers - when the whole family still gathers around and gadgets do not take most of people's attention and time.
Game nights with Horizon may not be the same as old board games but it is a clever way of doing so. The only problem, it can be quite laggy. It is slower than most computing devices in terms of response time. People need to exert more effort carrying it around and using it.
