Android is most commonly used in handheld devices. Lenovo&#8217;s taking it in an entirely different direction by making the ThinkCentre M70a: a desktop all-in-one.<\/p>\n<p>The first fruit of the collaboration with Esper, the ThinkCentre M70a boasts a 21 &#8212; inch touch screen and offers a choice of 12th-gen Intel core CPUs from the Core i3 to the almost workstation-grade Core i9, at prices from $889 to beyond $1250. What could you do with Android on a Corei9, plus the maximum 16GB DDR4 3200MHz and 512GB PCIe SSD Lenovo&#8217;s machines allow? Almost anything &#8212; but Lenovo thinks its Android effort will first be appreciated by customers in the retail, hospitality, and healthcare industries. Esper pitches its wares as ideal for point-of-sale systems, kiosks, and digital signage &#8212; environments where users don&#8217;t need to access diverse apps but do need a machine that reliably boots into custom environments.<\/p>\n<p>Lenovo&#8217;s not just doing desktop PCs. The number one PC maker by market share has promised it will also ship Esper&#8217;s wares on the small form factor ThinkCentre M70q &#8212; a machine designed to be bolted to the back of monitors. The ThinkEdge SE30 &#8212; a ruggedized and fanless edge client &#8212; will also have an Android option. So will the ThinkCentre M90n-1 IoT [PDF] &#8212; another rugged client for edge applications.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div class=\"share_submission\" style=\"position:relative\">\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home?status=Lenovo+To+Offer+Android+PCs%2C+Starting+With+an+All-In-One+That+Can+Pack+a+Core+i9%3A+https%3A%2F%2Fslashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F06%2F2024251%2F%3Futm_source%3Dtwitter%26utm_medium%3Dtwitter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/twitter_icon_large-245.png\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"slashpop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fslashdot.org%2Fstory%2F23%2F10%2F06%2F2024251%2Flenovo-to-offer-android-pcs-starting-with-an-all-in-one-that-can-pack-a-core-i9%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prime-wow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/facebook_icon_large-123.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/06\/2024251\/lenovo-to-offer-android-pcs-starting-with-an-all-in-one-that-can-pack-a-core-i9?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\">Read more of this story<\/a> at Slashdot.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Slashdot &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/slashdot.org\/story\/23\/10\/06\/2024251\/lenovo-to-offer-android-pcs-starting-with-an-all-in-one-that-can-pack-a-core-i9?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&amp;utm_medium=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lenovo To Offer Android PCs, Starting With an All-In-One That Can Pack a Core i9<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simon Sharwood writes via The Register: The Chinese manufacturer that took over IBM&#8217;s PC business announced on Thursday that it&#8217;s teamed with an outfit named Esper that specializes in custom cuts of Android, plus device management offerings.
