(More customer reviews)I bought a refurb from Lenovo themselves, but it died within two weeks of receiving it and they wouldn't replace it - only refund. Lucky me that Amazon had just put a better model on sale for about $50 less than the slower refurb unit.
I bought this to replace the front tv in my motorhome and to provide PC functions for my oilfield work. I matched this with a desk mount for heavy monitors and it pops in and out of the slot in my motorhome as sweet as you please.
Computer wise, this unit has all the power you need for just about every application except for big graphic hog games like Crysis. When it comes to surfing the net or using it for work it is just incredible.
TV wise, the thing is awesome. The tv card and remote are outstanding and the picture is very very good. The interface is very slick and you can watch Netflix, antenna tv or internet tv as you like.
Lenovo's touch screen functions coupled with Windows 7 native support for touchscreen monitors means you really don't need a mouse or keyboard. If you need a keyboard to fill in a box you just tap the box and an icon for a virtual keyboard pops up. Touch the icon and blammo (!) you have a full size touchscreen keyboard that pops up. I've gotten so used to the touch that I am all the time trying to use that feature on my laptop - which is not a touchscreen.
Why I bought this particular unit over the millions I read about before my purchase: Performance is mid range and should run most apps for the next five years or so. LED LCD monitor should hold up to the abuses of both the Motorhome and the Oilfield ( a double whammy in anyone's book). TV Tuner turns it into a tv for after work. Sleek design looks good in my bus - not a lot of gee-gaws and fluffery here, just a nice thin black frame with only one real button (power on) the rest are touch spots that light up when computer is on, or when you turn the monitor on and off. Keyboard light acts as a nice nightlight for my bus. I'm not sure if it is LED or not, but it makes a nice bit of light under the computer and is really coming in handy. This was the widest screen LED All-in-one PC with the highest performance and a built in TV tuner that you could get for anywhere close to this price. I looked at Asus, Msi, and all the other usual suspects and this unit won hands down.
Whether you are going to use this as your main desktop, a work pc or a tv this is an awesome unit for the money. I'm really glad the one I bought from Lenovo broke so that I could get the faster, cheaper, better unit from Amazon - and they shipped it to me in two days after the first one broke.
Buy this baby, I did and I would do it again.
