IdeaCentre A310

Released in November 2010, the IdeaCentre A310 desktop represented an update to the A300. The chassis was the same as the A300, with a slim screen and components contained in the base. To compensate for the lack of a built-in optical drive, an external optical drive was included with the desktop. However, the external optical drive did not support reading/writing Blu-ray discs. Also, unlike the A300, a remote was included for the ATSC/HDTV tuner. The IR receiver was not built into the AIO, however, and required a USB dongle to function correctly.
