The company has revealed the IdeaCentre A600 All-in-One Desktop that comes with a controller similar to a WiiMote. Lenovo even has some games that take advantage of the remote right out of the box. One such bowling game uses the remote to, well, bowl. Lenovo is working on more games to use with the remote but isn’t ready to name any titles yet.
In addition to being a motion-based remote, it will also do a number of every day tasks including controlling a television, video functions on the PC and work as an air mouse. The air mouse works just a normal mouse does but the air mouse doesn’t need a surface and can be used from across a room. Last but not least the remote can be used as a voice over internet protocol handset to use with programs such as Skype.
The system specifications include Windows Vista, a 21.5 inch screen with the ability to display high definition resolutions, Intel Pentium Dual Core or Core 2 Duo processors, and can support up to 1 terabyte of storage and 4GB of RAM starting at $999. Lenovo will be showing off this PC January 8-11, of 2009 at CES 2009.
