Lenovo Q-Series

gerazzo · 2012-03-23 16:59

Hi everyone,

I'm looking at this Lenovo Q-Series that is really nice to be placed near the TV.
All ok about the specs that are really good and probably too much for the use I have to do (only media center with OPENELEC).

My question is about the turn on/off feature by remote..... it comes out with the wireless keyboard and trackball, this one Lenovo but i don't know if it is capable of turn on/off.

Thanks guys

Clever little machine. Looks pretty sweet as well.

Wonder how it compares to my Acer Revo 1600 running OpenELEC. I mean, it already plays everything I throw at it without any problems.

For HTPC, too much is better than too little... Laugh

Gerazzo- I doubt that it can turn on with the remote. Since the remote has built-in mini-keyboard and mouse, you should be able to turn it off using the mouse the same way as any PC.....
