With a beautiful design and complete facilities, Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 is an ideal representation of a PC AiO. Not long ago, the vendor re-release of his newest family IdeaCentre labeled C300. Can be traced from its name if this product is set as a downgraded version of the A600. However, the design aspect remains a mainstay of Lenovo. This time they gave the face of attraction with classical motifs frame.

Class differences with the “brother” immediately apparent when we looked in the hardware specifications. To suppress the price, Lenovo uses Intel’s Atom processor. But instead of using a type of N270 or N280 is actually intended for the netbook, C300 carrying a targeted N330 Intel for nettop. Naturally, if the performance was quite rushed C300 compared to other PC at AiO level. Especially if you just used for standard computing activities.

Shown with 20-inch screen, C300 is well suited to satisfy the users of the multimedia side. The availability of an internal DVD drive into an advantage compared to C300 class competitors who generally only provide an external optical device.

But when tested, the ability to play HD video files, not as smooth as the way of hope. In some sections, the resulting picture somewhat broken. It does not matter if the play is a standard multimedia files such as AVI, WMV, and MP4.

Intrigued with its 3D performance, we played the game Doom 3 with the C300. The result? It turned out pretty good. Much more smoothly than when playing HD video.

With competitive prices on a number of U.S. $ 599, C300 worthy promoted as a leader among AiO various mid-level PCs.

In an interview with Steve Jobs in the New York Times, Apple’s CEO declared that his party did not include a camera on any Touchnya iPod products. This is because it is now being focused marketing iPod Touch as a gaming machine tool only and the presence of cameras is still considered not necessary or in other words it has not needed to add new features first.

But the question now is why the addition of a digital camera to a portable gaming devices iPod Touch is less precise than add them to the media player on the iPod nano? Or, if the price is a problem, why not abolish them only on entry-level model it?

Market is basically an iPod Touch soon become large enough to support diversity. And if the iPod Touch really marketed as a gaming console devices and low cost into existing applications store, which negate the fact the camera can disrupt the continuity of the platform your iPod Touch / iPhone itself.

Meanwhile, the iPod’s own imaging message now appears to still more messy. For example, if you bought a 3G iPhone products, you can capture images of the fragment but not video, iPod Nano, while lower levels also offer videos but not the perpetuation pictures fragment. In this case the iPod Touch does not offer anything, but just the iPhone alone is capable 3GS offers both capabilities.
