Lenovo hadirkan laptop dual mode lewat Flex 14

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Lenovo memperkenalkan perangkat multimode Lenovo Flex 14 yang bisa ditampilkan dalam dua mode, laptop dan stand.

Mode laptop memungkinkan pengguna memakai keyboard (papan ketik) dengan maksimal seperti laptop pada umumnya. Sementara itu, mode stand dapat dipilih bila ingin memaksimalkan fungsi layar sentuh, seperti untuk menonton film, bermain game, atau berselancar di internet.

Cukup putar layar Flex 14 hingga 300 derajat sehingga laptop 14 inchi tersebut menyerupai tablet yang memiliki topangan.

"Lenovo flex 14 dapat berfungsi sebagai notebook untuk kebutuhan kerja, dan touch untuk entertainment," papar Helmy Susanto, consumer 4P/T1 manager for notebook Lenovo di Jakarta, Kamis.

Baterai Lenovo Flex 14 diklaim tahan hingga sembilan jam untuk satu kali pengisian bila memakai Windows 8. Dengan layar sentuh 10-point multitouch, laptop tersebut didesain dengan tebal 0,85 inchi dan berat 2 kg.

Lenovo Flex 14 dibekali prosesor generasi keempat dari Intel, Dolby Advanced Audio, memori 4GB DDR3 dan 500GB HDD, serta kamera HD 720p.

Helmy menambahkan, Lenovo Flex 14 ditujukan untuk profesional yang butuh laptop ringan dengan baterai awet dan performa maksimal sekaligus untuk hiburan.

Laptop tersebut dibanderol seharga Rp7.999.000 untuk prosesor Intel Core i3 dan Rp8.999.000 yang dilengkapi Intel Core i5 dengan varian warna hitam dan oranye.

Build a Dedicated Laptop Charging Station Into Your Desk

This story will display in ...

One of the problems with working in an office is that you have a lot of laptops, and laptops need charging. Rather than having individuals charge laptops at their desk, which wastes space and can lead to cables getting tangled around chair casters, why not build a specially designed charging station?

IKEA Hacker Jonathan Briggs put this rather large charging station together for his school, but you could easily do a smaller station for just a few laptops—the main idea is that by building the surge protector into your desk, you can avoid reaching behind a mess of cables to plug in your gadgets. All you need is an Expedits shelving unit from trusty old IKEA, a few power strips, everyday tools and a little time and effort. Of course, there's no reason to limit the charging station to just laptops. Cellphones and other gadgets would be equally at home. And if you have multiple workers, you can assign them to each cube and there'll never be any confusion about where anyone's devices are.

Depending on what's being charged, you might want to think about adding shelves in each cube, but the design gives you a good basis that can be tailored to your needs. Small offices—or even individuals looking for a neat charging solution—can use units of different sizes according to the number of people looking for a charging cube.
