The theme for Lenovo’s new lineup of computers could be lighter, thinner and more portable.

Lenovo became the world’s top seller of PCs in 2013. The company aims to expand its reach with a broader portfolio of desktop and laptop computers in 2014.

But Lenovo’s biggest consumer announcement might not be a mobile device at all. Rather, it could be something designed to stay in the home parked right next the router. In Las Vegas at CES, Lenovo announced the launch of the Lenovo Beacon, a storage device intended to help users manage the explosion of digital content that people both create and consume.

The Beacon is Lenovo’s first “personal cloud” storage device for what the company calls the digital home. Users can upload content to the Beacon wirelessly or via a USB cable. The Beacon is designed just for storage and it won’t work as a standalone PC, Nick Reynolds, executive director of Lenovo Business Group said. With storage expandable to up to 6 terabytes, users can have available to them more storage for pictures, video, movies and music than they would have from a third party cloud provider, Reynolds said. The Beacon works with devices operating on either Windows or Android. And for the first time, Lenovo now offers an Android computer called the N308.

Lenovo, which operates dual headquarters in Beijing, China and Morrisville, also announced at CES an expansion of its laptop lineup with new multi-mode devices. These devices feature a detachable keyboard design which gives users the option to use the device as a tablet or as a laptop, Reynolds explained. The new Flex devices, starting at $499, offer more affordable pricing as Lenovo targets entry level customers to this market.

But Reynolds notes that tablets sales in particular are growing rapidly. Many customers who choose tablets are not replacing their PCs. That’s why Lenovo has put such an emphasis on its “PC Plus” initiative. PC Plus refers to Lenovo’s strategy to offer an array of smart, connected devices – not just PCs. Reynolds said that smartphones and tablets represent 15 percent of Lenovo sales and it’s a profitable business.

“Every four seconds, a Lenovo device is sold somewhere in the world,” Reynolds said.
