The Giz Wiz, Week of March 26th, Netcast 1461
March 26, 2014 Post a Comment Need a PC with a lot of features, but don’t have a lot of space.
This new 21.5" Lenovo ThinkCentre E93z offers a lot in little space. It's available with an optional 10-point capacitive touch panel ideal for Windows 8/8.1. Another option is the UltraFlex Stand, designed specifically for the E93z. It combines full-range height, tilt, swivel, and recline mode to maximize ergonomics. This space-saving design reduces the amount of space needed by up to 70 percent, compared to traditional tower desktops with an external display. (Some models of the E93z do not have UltraFlex Stand, so be sure to check.) At 48 mm, the E93z is more than 25% thinner than Lenovo’s previous generation all-in-one (AIO), making it one of the thinnest available. HDMI In & Out ports let you use the full HD 1080p display for any HDMI-enabled device. Also built into the clever design is a full HD 1080p webcam and digital array microphone. The keyboard has noise suppression technology, which you can turn on or off. Additionally, and I like this a lot, the webcam includes a physical on/off cover to alleviate any concerns about privacy. You can move data quickly between your PC and other devices with superspeed USB 3.0, which enables file transfer up to 10 times faster than previous USB technologies. Connect to other audio- and video- devices with WiFi Direct and Bluetooth. Finally, there's a DVD read/write drive, plus wireless keyboard and mouse. All you need to do to get this computer system up and running is to plug in the single power cord! Prices start a bit under $800. The final price will depend on the many options. If it’s not included, I would definitely select the UltraFlex Stand, which added just $15 to the price at the Lenovo website. I also selected the newest Intel i7 chip. It makes my E93z really zoom along! Mine came with Windows 8.0, but it now ships with Windows 8.1. Here’s a direct link to the E93z page on the Lenovo website. Check their site often because they have amazing sales events.
