Lenovo rolls out IdeaCentre A700 and B305 all-in-one desktop PCs
Lenovo has rolled out a ton of new computers today, so let's kick things off with the debut of the IdeaCentre A700 and B305 all-in-one desktop computers.
Targeted towards individuals and families rather than businesses, Lenovo has put a good deal of emphasis on design when it comes to its new A700 and B305 desktops.
Packaged in a curvy, aluminum casing, the A700 keeps things focused on home entertainment with JBL speakers with Dolby technology, DirectX 11 graphics and HDMI in/out support to connect and stream from various HD devices.
Lenovo has designed the B305 to target the gaming community as well, with the options of an AMD Athlon II X4 Quad-Core processor and optional DirectX 11 graphics.
There's also a lot of room for customizing on each new Lenovo PC, with choices in memory, hard drive space and processor speeds. Here's some of what you can get on both IdeaCentre computers:
A700 (pictured above)

Both available in June, the base prices start at $699 and $999 for the B305 and A700, respectively. Those price tags, of course, will rise if you opt for all of the high-end features noted above.
