Lenovo adds touch to IdeaCentre A700 and B305 all-in-ones, vie for your desktop dollars with H320

While keeping the overdesigned aesthetic of their IdeaCentre brandmates, the new A700 and B305 (above) all-in-ones from Lenovo are moving things forward with optional touchscreens and freshened up spec sheets. The A700 offers the full range of Intel’s Core 2010 laptop CPUs, but tops things off with the slightly older 45nm Core i7-820QM, which gives you four cores operating at a somewhat pedestrian 1.73GHz default speed that can be cranked up to 3.06GHz when circumstances demand it. Other specs include a 1080p 23-inch display, built-in 802.11a/b/g/n wireless, and a side-mounted Blu-ray drive. If you’re feeling extravagant, you can even cram in 8GB of DDR3 RAM, but don’t expect to be paying the $999 entry price for that package when these become available at the end of June.

The B305 gives AMD fans something to admire, with Athlon II X4 processors, Radeon HD 5450 graphics — great for multimedia, but forget about 3D gaming — up to 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to a 21.5-inch display stretching to 1,920 x 1,080. Built-in wireless and a DVD-RW drive are again present, along with up to a terabyte of storage (2TB on the A700, that showoff) should you opt to tread beyond the $699 entry price. The B305 will be purchasable next month, as will be the H320 old schooler. Starting out at $549, this small form factor pc offers Intel’s 32nm desktop parts, with the finest of the bunch being the 2.8GHz Core i7-860. Radeon HD 5570, up to 8GB of memory, a terabyte of storage, Blu-ray, and wireless options fill out its vital statistics, though you’ll have to buy your own monitor. Full PR after the break.

Sony introduces a New Vaio P with accelerometer and PS3 Remote Play.

Sony introduces this morning, a new Vaio P, a completely remade from ground-up Vaio P, designed to bring way more versatility to the already sexy Vaio P. The basic model comes with an Atom Z530 (1.60GHz) or an Atom Z560 (2.13GHz) on Order made ones, with 2GB of RAM, 64GB of SSD and an Intel SCH US15W chipset offering a nice 1600×768 resolution on 8” monitor. Our new Vaio P comes with WiMax, WiFi ABGN, Bluetooth a 0.31Mpix Camera with a total weight of 619g. The new Vaio P also introduces a new touch sensitive trackpad on the right side of its monitor. To spice up things a little more, Sony will offer the Vaio P in 5 different colors as well as a “Crocodile” skin.

But the design and specs change are not the most important aspect of this new release and Sony with this new Vaio P brings the PS3 Remote play to its Vaio Line-up (The Vaio P will be the first to carry the PS3 Remote Play). If you own a PS3 with the latest firmware (3.30) you will be capable to access to your PS3 contents and even recorded TV programs from the comfort of your Vaio P. The new Vaio P also brings something quite new over at SONY, with the usage of an accelerometer that will tilt your screen accordingly and will further enhanced its GPS function, or to even let you jump from one picture to another in a sideshow via a simple tilt.

Anyway, like usual we will have to wait to have this baby in hands in order to fully appreciate its new features.
