J200.jpg

No, seriously, the computers actually have the Olympic Games logo inscribed on them. If you thought it was a little weird that the BOCOG (Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad...phew) selected Lenovo's design for the official 2008 Olympic Torch, be prepared for even more Olympic drum beating from the ThinkPad manufacturer.

It's all part of being an official sponsor for the 2008 Games, according to Lenovo, who also insists the redesigned additions to its 3000 lineup have received internal makeovers as well. In addition to sporting the Olympic Games Composite Logo, both the Lenovo 3000 J200 (with Intel processors) and the J205 (with AMD) sport new black and silver exteriors and all the other fixins typically seen in 3000 desktops: a 9-in-1 media bay and DVD multiburner with TPM 1.2 data encryption, six USB ports, a chassis intrusion lock, Lenovo's productivity tools...the list goes on. Both models even meet that coveted Energy Star 4.0 spec, which should please Chinese government given its recent interest in all things green. So for all you Olympic nuts out there who want to kick off the one year countdown to the Games by spending money, the J200 will start at $400 and the J205 will come in at $450. Both desktops will be available online in August, according to Lenovo.
