Lenovo today unveiled a new range of consumer PCs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but too bad it was not the X60 Tablet PC. I woke up late and missed the launched but I have the pictures. To be sold in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, the range of notebooks and desktops delivers on Lenovo’s promise to bring innovation to more customers.
