BEIJING, MAY 28, 2015 – Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today unveiled two new consumer laptops in advance of Lenovo Tech World, the company’s first exclusive global technology innovation event in Beijing. The new Lenovo Z51 and the ideapad 100 laptops are as versatile as Lenovo’s customers are. Whether users just need to create and edit content or want a fully-equipped multimedia experience to enjoy music and videos, the new Lenovo Z51 and ideapad 100 laptops are ideal for users who value simple and functional design.

The new 15-inch Lenovo Z51 laptop is equal parts home-entertainment center and powerful workstation. Featuring a stunning FHD display, optional AMD discrete graphics and immersive Dolby® DS 1.0 Home Theater® Surround Sound for crisp sound and sharp visuals, they are ideal for streaming videos, downloading music and gaming. The new Lenovo Z51 comes with advanced 802.11 a/c WiFi technology for up to three times[1] the Internet speed of regular laptops for faster web surfing, streaming and downloading content. Engineered for productivity, the new laptop is powered by up to the latest Intel® CoreTM i7 processor with up to 1 TB of storage. The new Lenovo Z51 stands out for its beautiful color options in ebony black and chalk white.

The new Lenovo Z51 also features an optional Intel® RealSenseTM 3D camera that brings the world to life in 3D. Featuring full 1080p color and a depth sensor, the revolutionary 3D camera allows the new Lenovo Z51 to sense and capture depth like the human eye. Users can 3D scan objects to 3D print, play 3D games or use gestures to control the laptop. Customers can also create a more lifelike video chat experience by changing the background and sharing content.

Lenovo created the entry ideapad 100 laptop for customers who need only the most essential features, such as surfing the web, creating content and managing lists. It features up to Intel® BayTrail-M N3540 processor, up to 500 GB HDD storage and integrated Intel® Graphics giving users a fast processor, ample storage and solid display. The new ideapad 100 runs up to 4 hours[2]  without plugging in so users can work, browse online, watch videos and more with minimal interruption. Measuring at just 20.2 mm for the 14-inch and 22.6 mm for the 15-inch laptop, the thin and sleek ideapad 100 looks anything but entry level with its classic ebony black finish. Starting at an incredibly affordable price of $249, the new ideapad 100 fits in nearly any budget.

“We’ve created the new Lenovo Z51 and ideapad 100 laptops specifically for customers who want simple and functional design,” said Mr. BAI Peng, vice president and general manager, Lenovo Notebook Business Unit, PC Group. “Because our customers are so diverse, our products are not ‘one size fits all’.” Our two new laptops offer customers the choice to select the one that’s right for them – one specialized for multimedia and one all-rounder.” 

The new 15-inch Lenovo Z51 laptops will be available on www.lenovo.com and will hit retail shelves starting in mid-June. Pricing for both laptops starts at US $499. The new Lenovo Z51 laptop with optional Intel® RealSenseTM 3D camera comes with an Intel® Core™ i5 processor and 8GB memory, starting at US $599.
