Lenovo Horizon 2 Review: Specs and Features Roundup
The Lenovo Horizon 2 is an all-in-one PC that packs everything into a 27-inch, portable touch screen that gives the entire family plenty of features for work and play. It can be used for watching movies, playing games, and because it's a full PC, one can actually do real work on it such as writing Word documents or sketching designs on the touch screen. But is the hefty price worth it?
Design:
Calling the Horizon 2 huge is an understatement—the device measures 16 x 26.5 x 0.8 inches and weighs 14.6 pounds. And while it can be carried from one room to another just like one would with an ordinary tablet, you'll find that you'll need both hands to carry it due to the weight and bulk. It has a black bezel surrounding the screen, a silver back panel, and a spring-loaded arm that swings down after it has been unlatched, and it props the device up like an easel.
Features:
The 27-inch screen has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, and the display gives off sharp colors and images for video and gaming. It has an anti-glare coating that deflects any stray lights in the room, so you can comfortably watch a movie without having to move the device away from any direct source of light. The Horizon 2 comes with a wireless mouse covered with a silicon material, and a slim aluminum keyboard.
The system is powered by an Intel Core i5 chip processor with 8GB RAM, and an astounding 1TB of internal storage. It comes with 2 USB ports, AC Wi-Fi, a built-in 1080p camera and NFC.
The device can lie flat, and one only needs to push against the top of the system to lower it and have the kickstand lock into place. This activates the pre-installed Aura 2.0 software.
The software allows multiple users to use the system at the same time so everyone can play games, watch videos, listen to music, edit the pictures and do other things on the device together.
Price:
The Lenovo Horizon 2 costs $1,499.
