Lenovo's Horizon 2 27: Redefining the Personal Computer Experience

Lenovo's Innovative Table PC Wins Platinum A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award

Lenovo's Horizon 2 27 is not just a personal tool for work; it has become a hub for family interaction. The innovative Aura operating system, which activates when the PC is in table mode, allows family members to play games or enjoy multimedia content together on one screen. This interaction is not limited to one location; the integrated battery allows for touch control anywhere in the home.

One of the unique features of the Horizon 2 27 is its ability to interact with NFC paired smartphones. When a smartphone is placed on top of the Horizon’s screen, media contents from the phone can wirelessly ‘drop’ onto the Aura interface for interactive viewing, online sharing, and editing. This feature, combined with specially designed accessories such as electronic dice, mallets, and joystick, provides a new hardware/software fusion gaming experience.

The Horizon 2 27 is not only innovative in its functionality but also in its design. It is slim at 19 mm thick, with a 27” 2K touch screen. The screen can easily adjust from flat to a 75° angle with one hand, providing flexibility for different usage scenarios. When laid flat, the PC automatically switches from Windows 8 to the Aura OS, transforming it into an interactive table PC. At a 75° angle, it provides the most ergonomic angle for desktop use.

Creating the Horizon 2 27 was not without its challenges. To achieve flexible usage scenarios within the home, the body is made from a single piece of aluminum using a precision CNC process. This process allowed the creation of a large 27” structural shell that is lightweight (7kg) and strong at the same time, a first in the industry.

The Horizon 2 27 is a testament to Lenovo's commitment to innovation and design. It is a revolutionary computing platform designed to meet the changing technological environment of modern families. The Horizon 2 27 is not just a personal computer; it is a multi-scenario computer for the family, designed for interactive and engaging experiences.
