The Lenovo B750 looks distinctive right out of the box, with a 29” Wide Full HD (2560×1080), 21:9 super-widescreen, frameless display supporting IPS wide-view technology, perfect for viewing movies and videos. The viewing experience is further enhanced by the inclusion of a JBL designed 2.1 speaker system with built-in 20W subwoofer and Dolby Home Theater.

With an integrated DVD reader/writer or Blu-Ray Disc drive, a wide range of connection options including integrated Bluetooth 4.0 (optional) and Wi-Fi, a 6-in-1 card reader and optional HDMI out/in (optional) ports, the system makes it easy to manage and access photos, videos, music and more with the added convenience of Lenovo Motion Control which simplifies common tasks using instinctive hand gestures.
