Lenovo A740: Redefining the All-In-One Computer Experience

Lenovo's Innovative Design Wins Golden A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award

Lenovo, a global leader in technology, has reimagined the all-in-one computer experience with the Lenovo A740. This design, which won the prestigious Golden A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2015, is the world's slimmest 27-inch touchscreen multi-mode all-in-one PC.

The Lenovo A740 was born out of the desire to create a PC that could adapt to different user activities. The design team at Lenovo invented a patented 4 bar linkage mechanism that provides three unique modes for users: a display mode for traditional desktop usage, a 45-degree tilt mode for stable touch usage against a table surface, and a flat mode for a multi-person touch experience, such as gaming or learning.

What sets the Lenovo A740 apart from other all-in-one computers is its slim and sleek design. With a full aluminum uni-body structure, the Lenovo A740 is only 4.5mm thick. This design not only delivers absolute thinness but also ensures solid build quality and a reduction in the number of mechanical parts. The unique 4 bar linkage mechanism inside the arm synchronizes the movements of the two hinges on the head and body, providing an ergonomic and comfortable way to switch between different usage modes.

The Lenovo A740 is crafted using CNC technique and anodizing, with a borderless glass display. It measures 654mm x 215 mm x 485mm, making it compact yet powerful. The 16:9, 2K display with an edge-to-edge borderless glass screen provides the best ratio and resolution for high-quality movies and gaming. Enclosed in the base is a powerful set of 10W speakers delivering the best sound experience in a small package.

Another unique feature of the Lenovo A740 is its integrated NFC function, which opens up numerous opportunities with other NFC devices, such as smartphone collaborations, synchronization, and internet payment. This feature, along with its slim design, ergonomic multi-mode usage, and touchscreen capabilities, make the Lenovo A740 a trendsetting creation that advances art, science, design, and technology.

Winning the Golden A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2015 is a testament to the Lenovo A740's extraordinary excellence and significant impact on the world with its desirable characteristics. This award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom.
