New family-style tablet is ideal if you're a giant

Forget lighter, thinner, cheaper. Lenovo has just unveiled a 17-pound, 27-inch tablet computer, marketed as the antidote to personal (read: alienating) devices. OK, plunking the $1,700 IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC on the floor for a group Monopoly session sounds cool, and the detachable gaming joysticks and paddles for a pickup game of air hockey can only be described as awesome. Plus, don't underestimate the amount of closet space this could free up when you toss out your old-fashioned board games. But conveniently toting it around the house? Even the model in the promo can't do it gracefully. Hope it comes with a weightlifting belt. [Source]
