Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 All-In-One Desktop – Better Value Than iMac & Dell?

Lenovo All-In-One Desktop A600 IdeaCentreBack in October last year I posted about the Dell XPS One and how much I loved it, I also love the Apple iMac. I am a big fan of All-In-One desktops so I always have a cheeky grin when a new one is launched.

Introducing the Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 All-In-One Desktop!

It only takes one glance to appreciate it, what a beauty! Click the image to enlarge. It has a 21.5-inch frameless HD screen (1920×1080) so it is smaller than the Dell (24-inch). It will arrive in March and cost $999, that’s $700 cheaper than the Dell XPS One and about $200 cheaper than the Apple iMac.

Here are the key features of the Lenovo IdeaCentre A600

  • Integrated speaker system includes a bass sub-woofer and Dolby® Home Theatre™ audio certification
  • 4GB of RAM
  • 1TD harddrive (1000GB), could store hundreds of films, songs etc
  • High-performance mobile processor technology meaning it runs whisper quiet
  • Wifi enabled
  • Digital TV tuner
  • Facial recognition technology allows users to use their facial image as a logon password
  • Blu-ray player (optional)
  • Microsoft Vista Media Center to record TV programs (optional)
  • First-of-its-kind 4in1 remote controller (optional)

The spec of course runs deeper than this but you will be here all day if I list the lot! You can see the full spec here. I think All-In-One desktops are going to continue to grow, some predict the future of desktop PC’s is in the All-In-One form.

Do you think the Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 is better value than the iMac and Dell XPS One?

    It depends where you are, it is available to buy on Amazon.com for $740 (at the time of writing), but is no where to be seen in the UK.
