Lenovo launches new Ideapad, Z-Series Laptops, and ThinkPad 10 (2015) Tablet

Lenovo, besides launching its Google Chromecast rival, Lenovo Cast, also introduced two new Z-series laptops, an Ideapad laptop, and ThinkPad 10 (2015) tablet at its Lenovo Tech World event in Beijing, China. While the Lenovo Z41 and Z51 laptops will hit markets in June this year starting at $499 (roughly Rs. 31,800), the Z51 laptop with Intel RealSense 3D camera will be priced at $599 (roughly Rs. 38,200).

The Ideapad 100 notebooks will reach the markets in the same month with a starting price of $249 (roughly Rs. 15,900). Lenovo ThinkPad 10 will be available this summer starting at $549 (roughly Rs. 35,000). Both the Windows 8.1 Update-powered Lenovo Z41 (14-inch) and Z51 (15-inch) sport full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) resolution displays. The laptops can be configured with processors up to fifth generation Intel Core i7 and up to 16GB of DDR3L RAM.

Both laptops have the option to include AMD R7 - M360 (in Z41) and AMD R9 - M375 GPUs over the integrated Intel graphics. Both also have the option to support up to 1TB HDD inbuilt storage (Z41) or up to 1TB SSHD inbuilt storage (Z51). In addition, 2.5-Watt JBL stereo speakers with Dolby DS 1.0 Home Theater certification also come as an optional feature for the devices.

The Lenovo Z41 and Lenovo Z51 (seen above) feature 3 USB ports, HDMI-out, Card Reader, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, and Bluetooth 4.0 under the connectivity section. A 1-megapixel webcam also comes included in both the laptops. Talking about webcams, unlike the Lenovo Z41's 1-megapixel offering, the Z51 sports an Intel RealSense 3D camera featuring 1080p colour and a depth sensor for 3D printing, scanning and gaming. While the Z41 measures 347x249x24.4mm and weighs 2.1kg, the Z51 measures 384 x 265 x 24.6mm and weighs 2.3kg.
