REVIEW: Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z All-in-One Desktop Computer

http://www.digitalhomethoughts.com

This is my review video of the Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z, an all-in-one desktop computer designed for the SOHO market (small office/home office). This is a corporate-looking machine, so it doesn't win any awards in the looks department, but it gets the job done in a compact, power-efficient manner. Prices start at $499 USD; the model I was sent for long-term review costs $729 USD. The A70z I was sent has an Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 CPU running at 2.93 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM (upgradeable to 4GB), a 320 GB 7200 RPM hard drive, an Intel GMA X4500 GPU, built-in 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a 19" 16:9 matte screen (1440 x 900 resolution), built-in 1.3 megapixel Webcam and microphone, a CD/DVD drive, and built-in speakers.

this one looks cool too bad my cousin didn't think about getting one it might have been better for her, I was using it few days ago and everytime the VGA signal was lost the whole computer shuts down and it also happens like every 10 or 15 minutes. Anyway did anybody that contest of yours?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Mouthmusician Yes, a winner was announced in that content...

Some people have been assured that in the future these kind of PCs will be mainstream. What do you think?

Will these kind of computers rule out tower and normal desktop pcs?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Anuojat I don't know, it's tough to say. A lot of people re-use their old monitor, which usually makes it less expensive to buy a new computer, whereas with something like this, you get both parts. It's also common wisdom that if something goes wrong with it, you lose both your monitor and computer...so that's the down side. Right now, Dell, HP, and Lenovo offer far more choice in desktop towers than they do in all-in-ones...which says a lot.

[ThoughtsMedia]

@gabrielghostrider I mentioned that CPU speed and the RAM, that's it. There are many more specs than that. ;-)

@AbdullaAlKhanin I'm focused on Windows Phones exclusively, and lately there haven't been any interesting ones...that will change later this year though when Windows Phone 7 devices come out.

@toonygamer2004

well I know how he feels since I also feel awkward hearing myself from a recording...

[toonygamer2004]

You mentioned it was awkward to hear yourself speak. ha ha

Don't sweat it Jason. Your reviewing voice is perfect for the job.  ha

Keep up your awesome reviews.

Sucks I couldn't win that professional looking Lenovo.

[toonygamer2004]

Lenovo is a terrific brand. You shouldn't rule them out :/

Everyone runs into a bad experience sometime.

Lenovo's think pads are wonderful :)

[Anuojat]

@ThoughtsMedia Ah thanks for telling me about this :)

[creamnpuffs]

I'm never buying anything Lenovo after the horrible experience I had after my Y550. Biggest piece of crap ever.
