Lenovo Horizon 2 is a 27-inch device and this device comes with QHD 2560×1440 pixel resolution and 10-finger touch support. This device also comes with a kickstand at the back, so you can prop it up and view it at an angle if you wish.

The back of device is made out of aluminum so it looks quite nice, but on the other hand it weighs 16.8 pounds, so you probably won't carry it with you at all times. Regarding the hardware, Horizon 2 comes with NVIDIA's GeForce graphics, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and you can choose between regular HDD or a hybrid SSHD storage up to 500GB.

Additional features include Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC and a built-in battery that can last about four hours. We also have to mention that there's an Aura feature that allows you to send content from your phone simply by placing in on the screen.
