A530
The Lenovo A530 AIO desktop is a slim, space-saver that
sports a widely adjustable screen, which tilts from -5⁰ to 90⁰ allowing
use as a traditional PC or as a flat, table PC using the device’s
10-point multi-touch display for games and entertainment. The 23” Full
HD (1920x1080) 16:9 IPS, wide-view display measures only 0.8in/21.5mm
thin, at its thickest point, and retains its low-profile even when
folded flat on top of the 1.3in/32mm base. The entire device is clad in
an all-aluminum chassis for strength and style. The combination of wide
viewing angles, a fold-flat screen with multi-mode functionality and its
slim profile make the A530 an ideal productivity desktop which can morph
into a family entertainment and gaming center with a simple push.
The Lenovo A530 is powered by an up to 4th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor which provides plenty of power to handle multimedia and games.
