Lenovo announced the ThinkCentre M57/M57P "Eco" ultra small desktop PC, the first desktop PC from any manufacturer to receive Greenguard certification, and Lenovos most environmentally responsible desktop PC to date. The ThinkCentre M57/M57P is EPEAT Gold rated, Energy Star 4.0 rated, and the first ThinkCentre with recycled material from consumer plastics. 

Greenguard certification means that the ThinkCentre M57/M57P was tested for up to 2000 different chemical emissions. Greenguard Environmental Institute has certified more than 150-thousand products and materials for emissions of volatile organic compounds and other chemicals.

The M57P "Eco" desktop PC is 25 percent smaller than previous ThinkCentre products. The ThinkCentre M57/M57P family is comprised of the quietest running ThinkCentre offerings ever. With acoustic levels measured at 4.0 bels or lower in all modes of operation, the M57/M57P provides a consistently quiet operation.

The new ThinkCentre M57/M57P "Eco" ultra small PC features Lenovos full suite of ThinkVantage Technologies. With the touch of a single button the user can recover from viruses, update the system, clean up the hard drive and find help.

The ThinkCentre M57/M57P "Eco" also features the latest Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chip, which uses hardware to encrypt keys, passwords and digital certificates - protecting information from an external software attack.

Lenovo also today announced additional ThinkCentre models: The M57e, a high-performance, value desktop PC for large businesses; and the A57 PC, a rock solid desktop designed for small and medium businesses. Both include some of the latest technologies, including Intel Quad Core technology and Direct X10 graphic cards.
