CES 2012, Las Vegas - January 8, 2012: Lenovo, the world’s number two
PC company, is flexing its innovation muscle at this year’s
Internatioanl Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and beyond, to create a
seamless digital experience for its customers acros
s multiple devices
whether they be PCs, tablets, smartphones or Smart TVs. Lenovo recently
unveiled its “Personal Cloud” vision, marking the transformation of
the company from a “personal computer” manufacturer to a “personal
cloud solution” provider that integrates hardware, software and cloud
computing. The Company's direction is evident in a variety of new
products, including the IdeaTab S2, Smartphone S2 and K91 Smart TV.

“Lenovo is breaking down the barriers of device differentiation and
weaving together hardware, software and cloud services that are
connected, experiential and dynamic,” said Liu Jun, senior vice
president and president, Mobile Internet and Digital Home business
group. “We understand our users need more than just the traditional
keyboard and screen for a truly satisfying digital experience. Our
Personal Cloud vision integrates all devices, from tablets to TVs, for a
comprehensive mobile Internet experience anytime, anywhere.”

IdeaTab S2 10 Struts New Specs and Multimedia Prowess
Thinner than its predecessors, the IdeaTab S2 10-inch is just one-third
of an inch thin and, at a feather-light 1.1lbs, is one of the lightest
10-inch tablets available today. IdeaTab S2 features the new Qualcomm
Snapdragon 8960 dual core CPU and Android 4.0 operating systems to offer
a better multimedia experience. Running Lenovo Mondrian UI, the
user-friendly IdeaTab S2 10” displays customized content and includes
easy access to the Lenovo App Shop and the Android Market for thousands
of useful apps, such as Amazon Kindle, ooVoo, Angry bird and mSpot. Its
detachable design, combined with a light keyboard dock, can deliver an
incredible 20 hours of battery life, which is great for both
entertainment and productivity.

S2 Smartphone Boasts Security and Photography Creds
The S2 smartphone includes the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon technology
and Android 2.3 operating system. The device includes a unique
Kernel-level security system to protect personal data, prevent phishing,
and control network and SMS traffic. Users can also take advantage of
its 8MP super camera to capture amazing panoramic photos on the go. S2
is also ready for the Cloud, and instantly syncs photos, music, videos
and personal information with a dedicated online storage space for easy
sharing across multiple devices.

K91- The World’s First Smart TV to Run Android 4.0 OS
As the world’s first smart TV powered by Qualcomm’s 8060 Snapdragon
dual core CPU, the K91 is also the world’s first smart TV running the
Android 4.0 operating system - which will revolutionize technology in
the living room. Its smart “Sandwich” UI unites three major smart TV
functions including Video On Demand (VOD), Internet applications and
traditional TV programs. The online HD VOD is tailored to an individual
consumer’s viewing history, and delivers the best picture and audio
quality with 3D FPR technology delivering flicker-free video on a full
HD IPS panel at 240hz with SRS TruSurround. Internet applications
include thousands of choices from the Android Market and Lenovo Store,
which also offers console games. Additional smart TV features include
voice control with natural language processing and speech recognition
technology, allowing viewers to use voice commands to control the
remote. Video interaction is even possible with the built-in 5MP webcam,
which integrates face recognition technology for security benefits and
advanced parental control. With cloud support, consumers can access
their favorite songs and videos with ease, share files between the TV
and their tablet, smartphone or PC, and even control the TV via tablet
and smartphone.

The IdeaTab S2 tablet, S2 smartphone and K91 smart TV are available
immediately in China. Lenovo will be releasing these products worldwide
at a later date. More information on these products is available at
