Press quotes
"When it comes to small form factor PCs, the Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e is the one to beat. Highly recommended."
Leaving Paul Thurrott's Super Site for Windows, July 2008

"I've seen a lot of mid-range workstations in my careers as a technician and a hardware reviewer; so far, the Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e is the most innovative. It uses little electricity, offers great performance, supports all of the necessary devices and peripherals, and it's solidly built. ... Sometimes "small" means "fragile" and "difficult to work on." In this instance, none of these things are true."
Leaving Hardware in Review, March 2008

"Whether or not you'll forsake this compact, eco-friendly unit for a more watt-hungry, less-recyclable, but oh-so-sexier gamer PC, you should take note of the many green design features that the Lenovo ThinkCentre A61e packs because it provides a very clear look at the future of computers."
Leaving En-Genius, January 2008

"Compact PC models, such as Lenovo's ThinkCentre A61e desktop or Dell's Inspiron 531, are more efficient than standard desktops and save space as well as power (the A61e is about the size of a 3-inch-thick notebook binder)."
Leaving Computer World, December 2007

"New ThinkCentre A61e systems combines excellent efficiency with a very affordable price."
Leaving En-Genius greenpower Zone, January 2008

"Besides its very low power consumption, the A61e incorporates several other green design features that I expect will become much more commonplace over the next few years."
Leaving greentech Zone, November 2007

"The ThinkCentre desktop packs in full-size PC performance with the latest technologies such as ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery, which lets educators bounce back quickly from software crashes or virus attacks. As the first EPEAT Gold Rated PC, it is Energy Star 4.0 compliant, consuming less power, emitting less heat and producing less noise than any of the company's other desktops."
Model: ThinkCentre A61e
District Administration Magazine, November 2007

"While larger than the HP and Apple units, the Lenovo A61e's solid, silent performance and strong environmental credentials make it an excellent fit in small and home offices. And, with prices starting at $399 for a Windows XP machine with a low-end AMD Sempron LE 1150 processor (our test unit's configuration costs $659), it's a strong value."

ThinkCentre M57p Eco

Press quotes
"This "eco" business desktop comes in at $1300 and is a solid choice with Lenovo's credible brand. It's a solid business desktop that should not disappoint."
Leaving Ecofuss, August 2008
"This is the most energy efficient model in Lenovo's ThinkCentre desktop lineup, but it still packs an Intel Core 2 Duo processer (2.2 to 2.66GHz) and up to 2GB of RAM. It got a Gold rating from EPEAT, making this black box look even greener."
Leaving Digital Trends, June 2008
"After spending a week with the M57 and its companion L74 display, perhaps the most remarkable thing that can be said about them is that they are completely unremarkable except for their exceptionally low power consumption and environmentally-friendly design. It's handled everything we've thrown at it without a hiccup and we've both come to love the tiny footprint it takes up on my daughter's desk."
Leaving GreenTech Zone, May 2008
"The secret of the M57p eco is that this thing packs considerable power under the hood."
