Lenovo Ready to Launch Windows 10 Devices
NEWS FROM WWW.LENOVO.COM JULY 27 2015
Research Triangle Park, NC – July 27, 2015: Lenovo
(HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced it will begin shipping a wide
selection of products loaded with Windows 10 starting July 29. Lenovo
has an extensive list of products eligible for this upgrade including
popular models like the YOGA 3 Pro and YOGA 500. Lenovo customers can
check here for their
product’s eligibility.
Lenovo has worked with Microsoft Corp. to make the process of
upgrading simple, for people with qualified Lenovo PC running Windows 7
SP1 or 8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10. Starting on July 29, the updates
will roll out. If a user has reserved a copy of Windows 10, he/she will
be notified once the compatibility process confirms that the user will
have a great experience, and Windows 10 has been downloaded on their
system.

To give users consistent experiences across devices and operating
systems, the preloads include a suite of Lenovo-written applications.
The new Lenovo Companion 3.0 optimization tool keeps devices running at
peak performance and can be used at any time to run a full-scale checkup
and report back with specific actions to free up space and speed up the
device. As a “smart” device control hub, the new Lenovo Settings lets
users easily adapt and modify the way their device behaves. For example,
when in tablet mode, the product will customize its display and other
settings based on its orientation versus in traditional laptop mode.
Alternatively, the device’s usage will also alter its settings, for
example when watching a movie versus reading an e-book. With SHAREit,
customers can quickly transfer files between devices. For tablet users
WRITEit takes the pen to a new level of functionality allowing users to
write in any input field with their pen and the handwriting is converted
to text.
As announced at Tech World in May, Lenovo and
Microsoft have worked to integrate Cortana and REACHit, Lenovo’s
groundbreaking app that allows users who opt-in to search for and manage
their content across multiple devices and cloud storage platforms. With
REACHit,
Cortana becomes even smarter and more personal, enabling users
to find their content such as emails, photos and videos in ways they
never thought possible. Cortana and REACHit gives users a seamless,
intuitive way to search through natural language and contextual
understanding.
This functionality will be available in beta
to Lenovo users starting in the fall. Customers in the US and China can
learn about and sign up for the beta at
www.cortanareachit.com.
Users who prefer to wait will have their current version of REACHit
automatically upgraded when it becomes generally available later in the
year.
“With Windows 10, computing gets more personal,
productive and connected,” said Tom Shell, senior vice president, PC
Business Group, Lenovo. “Across our entire PC product line, from the
office to the home, we’ve optimized our Lenovo devices to give customers
a great computing experience while
giving them enhanced search tools
like Cortana with
REACHit.” Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR:
