Lenovo Unveils First AMD ThinkCentre

Lenovo today unveiled the new ThinkCentre A60, the first worldwide ThinkCentre desktop personal computer featuring an AMD processor.

Available in a mini-tower or small desktop, the ThinkCentre A60 delivers mainstream enterprise features such as dual-core processing and improved virus protection and recovery tools for customers in need of manageable desktop solutions.

For the first time, Lenovo is offering AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors, AMD Athlon 64 and AMD Sempron processors on the ThinkCentre A-Series family, giving customers more flexibility than ever before. Large enterprise and mid-market customers focused on acquisition costs will find that the A60 provides the quality and manageability they expect in a ThinkCentre without sacrificing the enterprise-level features synonymous with the ThinkCentre line.

The A60 promises exceptional performance on the business applications that customers use most. From graphic design and complex statistical computation, to medical imaging, the A60 allows for fast, easy downloading and processing that saves valuable time and increases productivity.

“Customers want stable solutions and innovative technologies that help them reduce costs,” said Thomas Tobul, executive director, Global Desktop Marketing, Lenovo. “Our new ThinkCentre A60 with AMD processors, coupled with our ThinkVantage Technologies, expands the range of flexible and innovative solutions available to our customers through the ThinkCentre lineup.”

ThinkCentre A60 models are preloaded with ThinkVantage Technologies, a suite of software tools that help maintain user productivity and reduce costly and time consuming calls to the help desk. Using Rescue and Recovery, customers can quickly access a set of self-recovery tools to help diagnose, contact help and recover from a virus or other software crash, even if the primary operating system will not boot.

Managing a fleet of ThinkCentre A60 desktops should be made easier with System Migration Assistant, which quickly transfers user-specific data and settings from one desktop to another. In addition, tool less-entry drives, adapter cards and steel chassis further enhances the simplicity of the ThinkCentre A60 by allowing users to easily access components for quick repairs or upgrades.

2The AMD desktop processors powering the ThinkCentre A60 deliver outstanding price-performance and enable a seamless upgrade to future operating systems like Microsoft Vista, ideal for today’s heavy multi-tasking user,” said Bob Brewer, corporate vice president, Desktop Division, AMD. “Working closely with Lenovo, we remain committed to offering flexibility and choice through our family of AMD64 processors, while enabling new levels of performance and meaningful innovations like AMD-Virtualization and high-performance, unbuffered DDR2 memory. We look forward to expanding our successful global partnership with this new product.”

The A60 offers customers leading-edge performance for today’s and tomorrow’s software and is equipped with serial ATA drive support, hard drives up to x2 500GB, DDR2 memory support, and nVidia GF 6100 integrated graphics. Additionally, the ThinkCentre A60 supports PCI Express graphics adapters, which deliver accelerated graphic capabilities for detailed design programs and streamlined video signal processing to help improve productivity in single or dual monitor environments. The A60 also comes equipped with six USB 2.0 ports, front side audio ports and internal speakers.

The ThinkCentre A60 will be available worldwide in over 60 countries and can be purchased on www.lenovo.com/uk. Lenovo personal computers are also available through select business partners. Prices for the ThinkCentre A60 start at £460.

One of the biggest DT design wins for AMD in recent history.
