My Lenovo is great! It is easy to use for an old fashion lady who is sometimes overwhelmed with how fast electronics have progressed. The young man who installed it for me was so nice and helpful and understanding.

This is my first time using Lenovo. My son had been telling me to try this brand and now I'm glad I did. I'm not a tech head but I love it. It's fast, quiet and is perfect for school and work. The touch screen is responsive and I am satisfied with the quality of the HD graphics and the camera is a-ight. Haven't really used it, so will edit this review to include it. For me, the most important thing is the DVD slot. The only thing I will and am changing is from wired to wireless mouse and keyboard. I haven't had any problems. Here's hoping it stays this way.

I have bought a few of these for employee use at work. These are fantastic computers for the money!
pros:
1. Memory - One of the best prices you'll find that comes with 8GB of RAM. Most only come with 4GB, which in my experience is not nearly enough for anything beyond web-surfing.
2. Processor is fast enough to handle most applications.
3. Touch screen is responsive
4. Pop-up webcam is great. love the ability to hide it when not in use.
5. Plenty of ports (USB, HDMI, etc).
Cons:
1. Less bloatware than others, but still a bit too much. Takes time to remove all of the nonsense and apps that won't ever be used.
Bottom line: This computer is a great value and I would absolutely recommend. In fact, I will be buying it again. :)

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaCentre 520-22 All-In-One system. Concerning adware on this device, Lenovo has one of the cleanest installs of adware in the industry. The only adware Lenovo adds is a 30-day trial of McAfee anti virus software. All other adware is included with the Windows 10 operating system, which the manufacturer has no control over.

I assembled it and plugged it in. Waited for it to start. It spoke, told me what it needed, and I did it. How simple is that?
At somepoint, it took off into the interweb to score some updates. It came back, and was good to go. Couldn't be easier.
I like that it's touchscreen, it makes inputs easier sometimes.

This system does have a CD/DVD-RW drive built in. It is on the right side of the screen near the top. Push the button to open the drive door. The computer must be turned on for the door to open.

This computer is perfect for what I wanted-fast enough to do my word processing and email surfing; but not so overpriced to do things like play games (which I don't do). Love the display, so clean looking and the touch screen is amazing!

Weird camera but well-balanced cheaper all-in-one

I bought this for someone whose cheap Dell all-in-one had a motherboard failure. The balance of price against performance and specs seemed decent, though I would have liked to spend a little more, the budget I was given did not allow for it. I immediately installed a SSD and I will warn you that opening this computer can be a very difficult task. Even with a lot of experience opening all sorts of computers, this thing is uniquely obnoxious to open. The flip side is that it is so thin that it looks like a monitor instead of a chunky ugly all-in-one, so for tight desks and elegant looks it fits the bill quite nicely. The pop-up camera is very clever and feels very weird when you first see it, but it's a good camera and a better alternative for users than taping over the camera.

I went in looking for a laptop and am very pleased that I chose this instead. The screen is nice and large, it has a nice sized hard drive and is plenty fast enough for watching YouTube videos and checking email. Perfect size for our RV
I got this as an open box/display model, so I got a super deal on it. So for me is was definitely worth the dollars spent

This purchase is our first computer. So we have nothing to compare it to.
Overall - extremely pleased !! Its fast, responsive, and keeps up with what we need it to do.
We have no issue with the standard keyboard or mouse that comes packaged.
Set up was a breeze - Microsoft Updates do take upto 2 hrs to install.
Monitor is bright and clear - the matte finish is glare free !!
This Lenovo purchase was an awesome one !
Highly Recommended.

I needed a new desktop - my old one was a great Lenovo but very small and ancient - still running Windows XP!!! Went into the store to get a new CPU unit and was drawn towards this all-in-one by the gorgeous display and super nice price. The store clerk was very helpful in explaining what an all-in-one was and wasn't, and answered all my questions and gave me some great pointers and things to think about. By the time I checked out I was very secure in the knowledge that I was making a good choice and after 3 weeks of using the computer, I am not disappointed. It's faster than my old computer and much more quiet (although I do have to turn it completely off at night because even on the sleep mode, it's too noisy for me to sleep with).
I'm happy with my purchase and with this computer.

Always used an iMac for my office desktop. Found this and for 1/3 the price, better than expected touch screen, actual connections to related devices and while it could be faster it has ample power,everyone’s operating system if asking a computer to do more than worth the cost to keep it mainting clock speeds. I’d but again

Love this compact and efficient all-in-one; it is just perfect for my small space. The touch screen is fun and gorgeous! But Windows 10 includes a lot of pre-loaded junk/bloatware apps. The 2.3 GHz processor operates at less than 50%. Faster would make me much happier.
