Lenovo has taken the covers off of two new computers that they’ll be releasing soon. The IdeaCenter A300 is a 21-inch all-in-one desktop that Lenovo hails as the world’s thinnest, coming in at just 18.5mm deep (the iMac, for comparison, is 18.85cm). The other new product is the IdeaPad S10, which Lenovo says has the world’s first MultiTouch display on a netbook-tablet.

The IdeaCenter A300 hides the computer in it’s base, as opposed to the more conventional all-in-one design where it tries to hide the computer in the monitor. The A300 is optimized with Lenovo’s “Lenovo Enhanced Experience” which gives users a quicker start-up time. No specifics specs on the desktop were announced, but it will be running on an Intel Core 2 Duo chip, and will have an HDMI in/out port.

The IdeaPad S10 is a convertible netbook-tablet, and as I said before, Lenovo is claiming that that 10-inch MultiTouch-capable touchscreen is the world’s first for the netbook-sized tablets. It’ll be running the Intel Atom N470 processor (unfortunately, not Pine Trail) and will have 320GB of HDD storage. Lenovo has also promised that the S10 will have their “QuickStar 2.0″ which allows you to ‘instantly’ browser the web without having to wait for Windows 7 to load up. Without knowing the technical details, it sounds like some sort of Linux-based OS that would be optimized for fast-booting and would be included on the netbook with Windows 7.

The IdeaCenter A300 will cost buyers $600 and it’ll be ready for sale in February 2010. The IdeaPad S10 will cost your $700, and will start shipping this month.
