Lenovo Introduces ThinkCentre A61e Ultra Small Form Desktop PC

Another new ultra-small PC enters the market, this one is from Lenovo and it has interesting features for digital signage network rollouts.

Here is the company's press release:

"Lenovo reinvigorates the desktop PC space with the introduction of the ThinkCentre A61e, an ultra small form factor desktop. As the company's smallest, quietest and most energy-efficient desktop yet, it has a footprint the size of an average telephone book, whisper quiet performance and choices of energy-efficient, 45-watt AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual core and AMD Sempron™ single core processors, all at an affordable price tag starting at $399. The ThinkCentre A61e desktop marks Lenovo's first product with EPEAT Gold status, the highest designation a product can achieve in the ranking. Operated by the Green Electronics Council, EPEAT ranks products on a variety of environmental attributes from energy efficiency to materials use to recyclability."

Pricing is right on the money but I've seen pretty big phone books so I'll wait until I see the official specs before passing judgment. No word on the video chipset either but it sounds like a decent box for the price.
