Lenovo has introduced four new PCs that will be available this summer: the IdeaPad U350 laptop, the G550 laptop, the IdeaCentre C300 desktop and the IdeaPad S12--Lenovo's first 12-inch netbook. The devices are very much representative of the times, offering low prices and low-voltage processors, and putting an emphasis on design. A Lenovo spokesperson described the devices as complementing already existing Lenovo products and emphasized that the commonality between them is that "they offer stylish design at prices you don't usually get stylish design for."

The IdeaPad S12 is Lenovo's first foray into 12-inch netbook territory. It features a full-size keyboard, 1GB of memory, 160GB of storage, Wi-Fi connectivity, an ExpressCard slot for 3G, an Intel Atom chip set and a weight of 3 pounds. Pricing will begin at $449.
The IdeaPad U350 weighs in at just 3.5 pounds and features a 13.3-inch screen, built-in wireless, low-voltage processors and a starting price of $649. Lenovo is excited about what a spokesperson referred to as a "hot-looking product."
The Lenovo G550 is a 15.6-inch laptop with a weight just under 5 pounds. It features a 16:9 aspect ratio, a DVD player and burner, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth connectivity, Nvidia graphics and an Intel Centrino 2 processor.
The G550 laptop is available in a choice of silver or glossy black finishes. A card slot offers the option to increase memory, but for the $599 starting price, Lenovo believes it's giving customers exactly what they need.
The IdeaCentre C300 is an all-in-one desktop--or rather, an all-in-one 20-inch widescreen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Starting at $449 and featuring built-in wireless, a DVD player, six USB ports, and a 6-in-1 multicard reader, Lenovo imagines it for use in dorm rooms, living rooms or the family kitchen.
