How much does it cost? It starts at $849 with an optional detachable projector

When can you buy it? June 2016

What's the big deal? You can turn your Windows 10 PC into a video projector, which means that the design maven in your house can finally win the "let's get rid of the TV" fight because they have the means to show streaming and digital video on the attractive flat surface of their choice. How you feel about having a TV may or may not influence whether or not you want to point out this feature to the people you live with.

THE IDEAPAD 700

How much does it cost? Both the 15" and 17" laptops start at $799.

When can you buy it?  June 2016.

THE IDEAPAD 710S

How much does it cost? This 13" laptop starts at $799

When can you buy it? July 2016

What's the big deal? Perhaps the "S" stands for "speed" or "skinny" or "surf," because Lenovo's touting the machine's dimensions (2.4 pounds on a 13" screen-frame) and "up to three times faster WiFi connection speeds than standard WiFi on the ideapad 710S."
