Lenovo Japan announced a new slim desktop computer, the ThinkCentre A52 Small series which is powered by Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.06GHz processor running on Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition. It features an Intel 945GZ express chipset, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, 80GB of SATA HDD, and CD/DVD combo drive. On the connectivity side, it has an integrated 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN connection and Bluetooth module. On the surface, it has six built-in USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports, one parallel port, Gigabit Ethernet port and analog connection port. It weights 8.3kg with the size of 85 x 359 x 309 mm. It will be available from today with the retail price of 113,400Yen which is about USD978. I think it is a little bit too expensive for such a poor specs.
