Lenovo "Horizon" wins award at Las Vegas consumer electronics show
LAS VEGAS, United States, Jan 11, 2013 (Xinhua via COMTEX) --
A half-PC and
half-tablet product by China's PC manufacturing giant Lenovo
(00992.HK; LNVGY.PK) on Thursday won the "Best of CES" Award for PC
and Tablets products at the 2013 International CES, the world's
largest consumer electronics trade show.
Horizon is a Windows 8-based 27-inch PC. On top of Microsoft's new
operating system, Lenovo has added its own multi-user interface
called Aura.
CNET, the world's famous consumer products news and reviews brand,
said that "Lenovo's Horizon 27 takes coffee-table computing to a new
level."
Lenovo wants customers to think of the 27-inch multi-touch Horizon
not so much as a semi-portable desktop, but instead as a multi-user
device. Most of Horizon's programs on display at the show are games,
such as air hockey, a four-player shooting game.
"In the past, only hardware and speed matter for the Internet
handset devices... But today, hardware, software and applications all
must work together, and it is essential to create a great user
experience," Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing told a products news release
conference earlier on Tuesday.
More than 600 Chinese companies, including major brands like
Haier, Hisense, Huawei and Lenovo, came with growing presence at the
Las Vegas show.
