Neowin Giveaway: Lenovo A70Z - Winner Selected


Recommended Posts

I like the fact that they mention this "A70z all-in-one PCs. Sleek, serious business tools" and the fact that they actually mean 'serious business' and it's not sarcasm, like all the other times I've read "Serious Business" on the internet. :shiftyninja:

Serious business is a feature, right?

I would have to say that since yesterdays post my favorite features have not changed. I am still fond of:

And

Easy plug-and-play design for quick box-to-boot time

I couldn't pick just one. I liked both features.

While I admit it's the space-saving feature that attracts me most (hey, I live in an apartment about the size of a shoebox!), the energy-saving aspect is very attractive as well. So my favorite feature is:

All-in-ones consume less energy and cost less to operate.

    • BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.

    • We wrote about it here https://www.neowin.net/news/browser-vendors-pen-open-letter-to-microsoft-saying-enough-is-enough/ the open letter itself is here https://browserchoicealliance.org/open-letter/
    • Someone forgot to mention EDR in the title ? I think I will not click anymore on the articles written by this author. All are click bait.
    • Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
    • The best-selling all-rounder GEEKOM A6 mini PC is now 20% off and cheaper than Prime Day by Steven Parker GEEKOM is having a sale on the A6. It comes from its "A series" of mini PCs, which are supposed to support AI natively; however, although others in the series include an NPU, this A6 variant does not. Below is a quote from the buyer's guide from the official website: Mini PCs that include a dedicated NPU are still quite expensive, which explains the low price of this A6 variant. Below are its full specifications.
