The [Lenovo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lenovo-ideacentre-mini) Ideacentre home theater computer is a computer that gives you the ability to watch your favorite movies, TV shows and other video content in extreme comfort using a projector. The optional projector is well capable of beaming content across a supremely healthy 279 cm wall or projector screen.

Available for a minimum price of $849, this home theater computer is rather different from its predecessors in terms of both specifications and design. This particular version is less rectangular and more triangular in shape, with its core metal body taking up a volume of about 2.9 liters.

The projector itself is [fully detachable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dangbei-mp1-max) and can either be sat or stood up beside your computer. It is fitted with a tripod hole, a pair of small speakers, an HDMI input and a USB 2.0 port that gives you the opportunity to connect a variety of external peripherals.

This home theater computer is perfect for those who want a proper movie-viewing experience at home.
