Lenovo Erazer X700 | The first gaming PC launched in Japan

Lenovo opens to the world of PC gaming a segment not yet covered by the catalog of the multinational base in China. The first sale of the gaming machines is scheduled for the Japanese territory. A curious choice because it is an area where unlike the rest of the gaming world is unbalanced predominantly towards the home console or portable.

The path chosen by Lenovo to cover this new segment passes through the acquisition of Medion, a German assembler active in Northern Europe incorporated in 2011 which now proposes a system that is almost a copy, at least aesthetically, of the old Erazer series. The new Lenovo computer is not by chance called Erazer X700 and sports a futuristic chassis to the limits of which echoes the forms of a medieval helmet adorned with blue LED lights.

In addition to the choice of the components of mold, gaming functions are less common as the key Onekey Overclocking for instant overclocking or Erazer Control Center to have access to advanced features of the BIOS, presumably without having to reboot the machine. The published specifications in Akibahara News talk about a fast Core i7 3820 third generation at frequencies up to 3.8 GHz Motherboard Chipset X79 Express peak, 8GB of DDR3 and a GeForce GTX 660 with 1.5 GB of memory on board.

Storage is committed to a mechanical 1TB hard drive while the OS is the usual Windows 8. It is not specifically at the top but more than enough to ensure a good experience playing with all the outstanding settings (except maybe Crysis 3). The setup is not extreme but is reflected in the price which will be about € 1300 from the conversion into yen. The Lenovo Erazer X700 comes out on the Japanese market starting March 15.
