CHINESE INHERITOR of IBM's former PC business, Lenovo, has just launched the first desktop PC it's offered outside China by making available an inexpensive system in the US.

Lenovo's Ideacenter K210 desktop PC features an Intel Core 2 quad-core CPU and GMA 3100 integrated graphics, with options for a Blu-ray DVD drive and an upgrade to ATI Radeon 2600XT graphics.

Unusual aspects to Lenovo's Ideacenter K210 PC are facial recognition security technology and an anti-microbial keyboard.

Ideacenter K210 desktop PC prices start at $379 in US retail stores after mail-in rebate, monitor extra.

Lenovo, which is best known in the US for carrying forward IBM's former Thinkpad line of business-class notebook PCs, started offering its Ideapad series of consumer notebook PCs in the US earlier this year. The company is ranked as the fourth-largest global seller of PCs. µ
