Review on Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3, 24-Inch All-in-One Computer, AMD Ryzen 5 4500U Processor, Integrated Graphics, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, DVD RW, Windows 10, Business Black by Donnie Boss

Let's start with TLDR - this is a great computer for the right use case. This is a fast, functional, minimalist, and stylish consumer setup. This is NOT a professional gaming or video editing device. This is a great car and in capable hands you will be very happy with your purchase. Packaging Most modern packaging is rectangular in shape. Not Lenovo - they chose this weird, square wedge shape, which is different but very effective. The computer comes fully assembled, encased in two foam pads, with the keyboard, mouse, and power supply packaged separately. Documentation is sparse, as is the case with most electronic devices these days (assuming it can't hurt you - then there are plenty!). Setup This part was easy. The hardest part was removing all the plastic parts protecting the polished parts of the device. Connecting everything from behind is no problem. There's also a small clip that attaches to the (very oddly shaped) base for proper cable management. A wireless keyboard/mouse would be a nice addition to this minimal setup, but the wired versions work just as well in my opinion. Windows, of course, comes preinstalled with Lenovo's usual bloatware. Going through the setup is easy. Yes, and a tip - if you don't want to set up an MS account, don't connect to the Internet. Once you have done this there is no turning back and you will be forced to proceed with setting up your MS account. This isn't a Lenovo issue, but it's worth mentioning. Performance The 24-inch screen, which I think is the real selling point of this device, is bright and sharp. Viewing angles are good. Ryzen 5, although mobile processor, but fast and fast. Graphics are decent too, but you won't be using it for intense gaming or video editing. But that's not what this device is, and it's not sold as such. 16GB of RAM is a nice touch at a time when the cheapest computers come with 8GB and the NVME drive is SO FAST. Load times are incredibly fast and you'll be held back by the speed of your own fingers. not the device itself. I did a quick test in Novabench 3D and got 32 fps when rendering at 1280x720. Not too shabby for the vast majority of use cases. And of course Youtube is great so using it as a media device isn't a problem either. That being said, the screen is only 1080p. So if you want 4k you'll need to hook up a second screen, which defeats the purpose of an all-in-one in my opinion. WiFi was fast and I was able to maximize my ISP connection. The included gigabit port also gives you the ability to transfer large amounts of data. Another nice touch is the camera cover! easy, yes Useful yes. I'm glad they included this. Also a DVD drive - not many devices have that anymore, but I'm glad there is one. The downside is the lack of ports. On the back you get a Gigabit Ethernet port, HDMI, 2 standard USB ports and 1 USB 3.0 port. On the left side, behind the monitor, there are also 1 USB 3.0 port, an SD card reader and a headphone jack. The lack of USB-C is a little disappointing, but it's not entirely unexpected for a device in this range. The SD card reader is a bonus for those who are interested in photography or if you need a little more storage space on your device without taking up a USB port. Design This is a graceful machine. The base is a bit unusual but very minimalistic. I've decided I like it, but it depends on your personal taste. Other than that, it's essentially just a nicely designed monitor. This is the advantage of a monoblock - simplicity and efficiency. Final Thoughts As I said before, this is a great computer in the right scenario. It won't be a top notch jump scare, but it wasn't advertised that way at the time. If you work for Pixar you should probably look elsewhere - haha, but for most of us looking for a light to medium duty home computer,
