Hmm i'd buy that AIO

[Bob Kakis]

Lenovo is such a horrible company that is led my morons! All of their products are cheap garbage. I wish IBM could take back the ThinkPad brand and slap Lenovo in the face.

EVEN THE US GOVERNMENT HAS BANNED LENOVO!

"NoteBookReview.com has been the biggest, and most credible, supporter of ThinkPads ever! This has been well known in the industry. With the launch of the T500 and W500, they have ended their support for ThinkPads. Read their reviews. They have even said that the MacBook Air is far more durable than any ThinkPad."

"Keyboard flex in a ThinkPad ... the end of an era."

http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4569&review=Lenovo+ThinkPad+T400

US Government has banned ThinkPads.

Even IBM has moved to Macs.

Lenovo will have your laptop in service longer than you will have it in your hands!

[Vegaman_Dan]

if the new Lenovo products are anything close to their current business build quality, then we're in for another round of broken cases, failing electronics and replacement part prices that exceed the price of the laptop itself. :/

[U. Tripps]

Are you comparing Lenovo ThinkPad quality to IBM ThinkPad quantity? If so, you may have a point. However, my Lenovo SL400 is more durable than any Dell laptop I've ever used/owned.

[snowisred]

Lenovo's stuff is normally very expensive but they come with quality unlike Dell or Acer.

[snowisred]

Again Lenovo is proving that they are the pioneer.

Why is it just a core 2 solo? I wish they will put core 2 duo T9xxx and I will buy one.

I,have owned a (Lenovo-Desk-Top),for about a 3 months,and so far it has been,one of the best computers that i have ever owned!! :;)) I,this,an (emachine),just about a yr and a half ago,was about what i paid for my (Lenovo!!),and it has better spces: in it. I love it!!!! It does any thing i would want it to do,but now it does not have no (Graph-card)in it but is is real nice,and it dont come with all that preloaded, junk that you end up deleteing also and runs real smooth and its wisper quiet! CONS: No phone jack,and the operating on an off buttons are on the top,but that is no problum,and you get (system-recovery and driver CD,s),if you need them? And,you can recover from the keyboard,so all of this is cool!! Most companys now days Like HP,you will not not get no recovery CDs,and you cant" do it with the keyboard,so i think they are gonna suprize,all of us in the future? I really do,oh they are also or work with (IBM),is what i was told by one of there (Techn:s) so look out :>))))

They should have used a slimline optical drive instead of tacky 90's tray based optical drive.

[U. Tripps]

Put a slot-load optical drive and a touch screen on the C330, and I'll pay up to $600 for it.

[monkeyfun14]

$600 for a touchscreen AIO? They need to make a profit to you know...

[Renegade Knight]

Slot load? I wish Apple and others would banish them.

[Mr_7235]

Lenovo is garbage. I've had my new Thinkpad T500 since January and it hasn't worked properly for a single day since them. In fact, for the first 2-3 months I had it, my computer blue-screened at least once a day because of a driver issue Lenovo knew about well before I made my purchase.

If the story of Dell has taught us anything it's that low prices interesting designs can only get you so far, especially if you have poor quality assurance and unhelpful, disinterested support reps.

[markredf150]

AIO desktops are great...except when you need to move the screen for a better viewing angle. To do that you either have to have a full motion wall mount or sadly attach it to another monitor. Plus upgrades aren't easy. It's a great idea to save space and electricity (one power supply for computer and screen instead of two supplies) and a good idea for kiosks in restaurants, libraries, et. al, but some home users might find it a bit troubling in the ergonomics department. I do wish Lenovo the best though, they're a pretty respectable company.

Lenovo needs to make a profit, sure, but being Made in China they are not subject to the same market forces as companies elsewhere, what with artificial price controls, artificial exchange rates, incentives, etc. The only thing China can boast about is cheapness. Qualitywise, they have a long way to go. My wife's HP has been running smoothly without issue moreso than my Thinkpads have ever done. But hers does not have a Thinklight, something I have used since my T23.
