Chinese tech company Lenovo has unveiled three new laptops specifically designed for the consumer electronics market.

The three new models are scheduled to arrive sometime in June, according to PC World.

The cheapest among the three laptops is the Ideapad 100, which will enter the market with a retail price of $249. The model's 14-inch and 15-inch display variants are both powered by the Intel Bay Trail-M N3540 quad-core processor. Both versions have a resolution of 1366x768 pixels.

The Ideapad 100 comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD or 500GB of HDD. For its external specs, the laptop has port support for USB 3.0, USB 2.0, HDMI-out and a card reader.

Lenovo noted that its battery can last up to four hours of use on a single full charge.

The other two laptops unveiled by Lenovo are the Z51 and Z41.

According to Lenovo, the Z51 is designed to function as a work notebook and an entertainment device. It sports a 15-inch 1080p display and can be powered by the Intel Core i7 processor. It has 16GB of RAM and can support up to 1TB of HDD or SSHD.

For its graphics processing unit, the Z51 is equipped with the AMD R9-M375.

This laptop has a base price of $499, but for an additional $100, users can get the Intel RealSense 3D camera for the Z51. The feature can be used for scanning 3D objects for a 3D printer, Tech Radar reported. It can also be used to add gesture support and enhance the visual quality of games.

Lastly, the Z41 is the smaller version of the Z51. It features a 14-inch display and carries almost all of the same specifications as its larger counterpart. However, it does not feature support for the Intel RealSense 3D camera. Like the basic version of the Z51, the Z41 has a retail price of $499.
