Anti-glare Display
HP's Mini 110-3530nr offers some very unique features for a netbook that can be found under $300. It comes with an anti-glare screen that makes working outside easier, a faster hard drive and a six cell battery pack for extra running time. While all these features are great, there are a few items that are very disappointing including just 1GB of DDR2 memory that can't be upgraded that greatly impacts performance and a keyboard that isn't a nice as HP's slightly more expensive netbooks.
the iMac's Editors' Choice award and a strong recommendation among all-in-one PCs and mainstream desktops in general.
The bottom line: Apple made a number of changes to this $1,499 iMac, but making a 24-inch screen available at this price is the most impressive. The rest of the updates are welcome, and Apple's multitasking capability remains unmatched. Provided you like your all-in-ones best as straightforward desktop computers, the iMac will meet your expectations with speed and elegance.
yet another new Apple keyboard
As stylish as ever, and more powerful than before, but the price is slowly creeping upwards
Low price • Good looks • New Core 2 Duo processor • Fantastic software bundle.
The 17-inch iMac is missing a few features you might like -- SuperDrive and a remote control, to name two -- but it still makes a stellar home PC, thanks to its great design, new Core 2 Duo processor, and superior software bundle. Plus, its price makes it a borderline budget PC.
good all-around desktop
The Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z can work as the primary PC in your business if you're the sole proprietor, or as the PC for your staff and receptionist. It's an all-in-one business PC that may make "more sense" than other consumer-grade alternatives, particularly if you need business features like a serial port.
Good performance
The Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z is a little underdone considering it doesn't have an SD card slot or built-in wireless networking, but it's nevertheless a zippy machine on which you can comfortably run office applications and more. It will cope with image editing, file compression and even video tasks, and its screen resolution of 1440x900 is fine for multitasking. If you want a neat all-in-one solution that won't cost you a lot of money, then the A70z it's well worth considering.
Easy to set up and begin using
The Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z is an all-in-one Windows 7 desktop system targeted towards small- and medium-size businesses. It features a 19â?? (16:10) LCD screen, an Intel Celeron or Core 2 Duo processor, up to 2GB of RAM, and a 500GB SATA hard-disc drive.
Good wireless kb/mouse
Lenovo wants to maintain their business desktop market, and one of the ways they can do that is by offering models that provide easier installations (no need for a separate monitor and hookup) and interesting form factors. The ThinkCentre A70z offers companies just that. The industrial design matches all of Lenovo's other products, and the easy installation, paired with the solid performance, make this one of the best business all-in-ones we've used.
Upgradeable hard drive and memory modules
If it hasn't emerged already, the theme of our experience with the A70z was a singular one of competency. It did what we expected it to do, it contained no nasty surprises, but it also didn't bowl us over with anything particularly special. The unit we reviewed is on sale now for around $797 in the US or £611 in the UK, which is a fair bit more than you'd need to spend if you put all the components together yourself.
Perfectly sufficient for Office applications
The takeaway message is that, while the A70z is perfectly sufficient for Office applications, local and streaming media playback (even 1080p YouTube video and bandwidth-heavy Hulu) and even a little Photoshop meddling, this isnâ?? t a gaming PC and nor is it a media center. Admittedly, Lenovo donâ?? t bill it as such, but with the ThinkCentreâ?? s standard VESA mount on the back, we did have visions of a wall-mounted machine for a kidâ?? s room; similarly, with no video input, you canâ??
Good speed
Lenovo's ThinkCentre A70z is designed primarily for business users, but it's also good value for students and home users who want something inexpensive that will be quick and won't take up much space. It performed well in our tests and will be suitable for running office applications, image editing and video apps. We just wish it had a built-in Wi-Fi adapter and an SD card reader.

Very well built
The Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z is a 19-inch business all-in-one desktop PC. It has a nice matte screen, rugged build quality and offers useful business software in a compact form factor.
Unique design
Design fans in particular will appreciate Lenovo's unique all-in-one that serves best as a dedicated, Web-based home entertainment PC for a small room. The distinct look requires some trade-offs, particularly in performance and the lack of an optical drive, but if you're willing to sacrifice function for a bit of form, you'll find the IdeaCentre A300 charming and generally capable.
the A300's GMA 4500MHD graphics are phenomenal for video, but anemic for 3D games.
The Lenovo IdeaCentre A300 is an all-in-one with a fashion-forward design that will fit any room's setting. This media center desktop has almost everything to fit your digital entertainment needs, but lacks a Blu-ray player to complete the package.
HDMI inputs and TV tuner
Though it can't match the performance of some competing models in its category, the A300 offers a wealth of connection options in a stunning shell. Though it can't match the performance of some competing models in its category, the A300 offers a wealth of connection options in a stunning shell. Sony's 24-inch all-in-one remains king of the All-in-One hill, delivering strong performance, a Blu-ray burner, and lots of ports. But it's not cheap.
sleek new all-in-one desktop
Jun 29 2010 - Lenovo's IdeaCentre A300 is a compact and sleek modern take on the all-in-one desktop. The compact design and built-in media features including TV tuner and HDMI input will really appeal to some buyers. These buyers should be warned that the performance falls short of similarly priced units and it lacks an optical drive. Finally, the pricing may make it somewhat less attractive than some similarly equipped but larger all-in-ones. Jun 29 2010.
Attention-grabbing looks
In conclusion then, what we've been looking at has been a set of laptop parts exploded into a jumbo iPhone-aping screen with an asymmetric base and attention-grabbing looks. The result is pretty close to what you might expect: happy, shiny, and pretty on the outside, but flawed and mildly deficient on the inside. At $949 for the model we reviewed, we can't say the A300 represents good value.
Two HDMI and TV Tuner ports
Though it isn't a performance machine, the Lenovo IdeaCentre A300 offers a wealth of connectivity options in a slim and stylish case.
True 1080p HD
On paper, the MSI Wind Top AE2220 is definitely a challenger for the "best all-in0one desktop PC." It's a sub-$1,000 touchscreen-equipped desktop with plenty of HD media features. However, a few shortcomings keep it from scoring higher.
awesome price
Significant upgrades over its predecessor are hobbled by the MSI Wind Top AE2220's shoddy picture.
Low Price.
Jan 11 2010 - For those who want a home theater setup in an affordable desktop package, MSI's Wind Top AE2220-25SUS offers a very compelling price and set of features. With a Blu-ray drive, HDTV tuner, 1920x1080 resolution display and a HDMI input, it has just about everything one might want. All of these features come at a price point well below the competition.
The MSI AE222004SUS 21.6Inch Black Desktop PC Windows 7 Home Premium comes with Intel Pentium D 2.4 GHz processor. Features hard drive with 20 GB capacity. Offering 3 GB RAM capacity.
Pentium Dual-Core processors and Nvidia's Ion chipset
MSI's latest touchscreen offering, the Wind Top AE2020, boasts one of the most intriguing specifications we've seen this month, with a combination of one of Intel's last Pentium Dual-Core processors and Nvidia's Ion chipset.
otherwise amazing MSI Wind Top AE2220 system
This MSI Wind Top AE2220 represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor but it's hobbled by shoddy screen quality. If you're still won over by the MSI Wind Top AE2220's impressive specifications, you owe it to yourself to actually look at a working version of this PC you might not like what you see.
sleek all-in-one desktop computer sports
The MSI Wind Top AE2220 is not just a PC. It has a very good multitouch-enabled screen, offers a rich set of features, and can also dual up as a television in your living room. One of the best family desktop PCs to have.
heavy system requirements
The bottom line: The heart of Lenovo's IdeaCentre A600 is in the right place, offering a 21.5-inch LCD-based all-in-one for less than $800. But a faster competitor and a careless design turns us off from this particular A600 configuration. You might consider a different A600 build if you can live with the design, but we can't recommend the $749 version.
more powerful graphics
Launch price
Great looking all-in-one with a forward-thinking remote, but could be let down by its basic starting specs
really good SYSmark 2007 Preview Overall score
