hi I'm rich brown first cnet or here at CES meeting with Lenovo and here we have their brand new horizon table PC as you can see this looks like a pretty standard on one it's a nice big 27-inch screen it's got a full touchscreen of course and it's running Windows 8 but you can run Lenovo's new aura interface which is designed pretty much primarily for multiple users to use the system so you can lay it down flat and you can see here there's a control wheel it gives you access to launch all kinds of different apps games music video etc you can take things out and put them to the screen pretty easily Lenovo's also put a lot of effort into the game development and other apps for the system so this is a new game from Lenovo design for four players at once and system actually comes with these joysticks among other accessories that he is you plug them down to the screen and you can control your guide and it actually works pretty well on the other accessories is an air hockey paddle right here and then this one is actually pretty cool to die and the idea is that you can roll it on the screen and for again that supports it it will recognize the dye input and you can actually use it on any surface it doesn't have to land on the screen in order to register the back so lenovo has put a lot of effort into the app store for the system and it says it's going to launch with over 3000 apps specifically designed for multiple user input so one thing that's actually pretty unique about the system on top of the multi user input and the various accessories that lenovo has a couple different modes in mind for the way you might use it so here's one accessory set this might not come out in the US it's all sorted to be determined as you can see it's a table interface or just designed to walk up and use it you might also notice that there's no power cable going into this and that's because it has a battery now the Nobel estimates the system will run for about two hours of course you can plug into the wall you need to but lenovo has another idea in mind now this is just a concept and it might not go on sale at all but as you can see it's this big table design and its really designed to be more piece of furniture than an actual system the pc folds down in there and it really sir provides a unique experience that we really never seen in a computer before so this is not the first new windows 8 all-in-one to use a battery we've seen another from sony but this is certainly the biggest it has the same low-power parts in it to help extend battery life and as you can see from the side it's also actually pretty thin now I don't imagine that you would really use this as a tablet necessarily and it's not maybe the most mobile thing in terms of just walking around your house but you can certainly move it if you want to and overall this relation is to be a pretty unique design it's going to start at nine ninety-nine in the US when it launches later this year prices will scale up though as you add higher-end cpus so I'm rich brown this is the lenovo horizon table pc
