Lenovo, the electronics manufacturing company which has been the best with computer making, has just announced their first Android powered laptop, the Lenovo A10 which was leaked a couple of times in the past few days.

On the top of the screen, there’s a 0.3-megapixel camera included. The internal powering included in the Lenovo A10 is by RK3188, quad-core Cortex-A9 processor with the speeds clocking at 1.6 GHz, and this is the fastest for any ARM based chipset having four cores running. The company’s press releases notes that the battery of the A10 provides a battery life of around 9 hours on continuous video playback.
