NEW ThinkCentre A61e

Lenovo's latest and most energy efficient PC, the ThinkCentre A61e ultra small form factor desktop PC, takes another step forward. Lenovo designed the A61e to consume approximately one-half the electricity of a standard small form factor desktop.

Thus the A61e offers businesses significant savings from lower electricity costs, along with enhanced manageability, reliability and acoustics.

ThinkCentre A61e saves more than a little green...

Lenovo combined small size and weight with energy efficiency, simplicity of operation and ease of management in its ThinkCentre A61e:

Energy efficiency:

  • ThinkCentre A61e complies with EnergyStar 4.0 and consumes less than half the electricity of a typical small form factor desktop, reducing electricity bills.

Low environmental impact:

  • The A61e received an EPEAT Gold rating for its energy efficiency and use of easily recycled components.
  • Its low electricity use reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Quiet operation:

  • The A61e produces 3.8 bels of sound at idle and 4.1 bels under load, less than most offices' background noise.

Small size and low weight:

  • The A61e weighs 8-pounds and measures 10.8-inches wide, 9.5- inches deep and 3.2-inches high, making it the smallest ThinkCentre and reducing shipping and packaging costs.

Improved manageability and reliability:

  • The A61e includes the Lenovo ThinkVantage Technology (TVT) PC management suite.
  • Its energy efficiency guards against heat-induced hard drive failures.

Low cost of acquisition

  • The A61e starts at under $1,000, meaning it does not cost more than other small form factor desktops.
