Review on 💻 Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3, 24-Inch All-in-One PC, AMD Ryzen 3 4300U Processor, Integrated Graphics, 8GB RAM, 256GB M.2 SSD, DVD RW, Windows 10, F0EW005TUS, Business Black by Devin Jirsa

This very good all-in-one computer is a great choice for instant video conferencing during quarantine. ADVANTAGES - Very easy to install and get started. Just plug in the power cord, mouse and keyboard. Then connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet and you're good to go. -Very compact form factor. It takes up no more space than a regular monitor. The computer sits neatly on the back of the monitor and you won't even notice it's there. - The bezels of the monitor are very thin, creating a sleek, minimalist look. - The resolution is 1920 x 1080, which is normal for a monitor of this size. - Can drive a second monitor via HDMI, so you can run a dual monitor setup. I hooked mine up to a 4k monitor and it works fine. - Excellent computer performance with a fast NVMe SSD. 8 GB of RAM is sufficient for most applications. An integrated card reader and an optical drive provide more flexibility and convenience. -The built-in webcam is especially useful for video conferencing during the pandemic. There is a small slider at the top that physically closes the camera for privacy reasons. MINUS stand only tiltable. No height or rotation. - No VESA mount option. -There is a power supply that adds to the clutter. Since one of the main reasons for buying an AIO is to reduce cable clutter, the power supply disappoints. OTHER - McAfee antivirus comes preinstalled and showed desktop popups all day long. If you really don't need this app, uninstall it immediately. No other third-party apps came preinstalled, which is nice. - The speakers sound good, but I wish they were facing out towards you and not down. -4 USB ports which may not be enough, although you can always add a USB hub. No USB-C which is a bit disappointing as this is 2020. The included wired keyboard is fine, but the wired mouse is cheap. I'm glad they lowered the price of this accessory because a lot of people will be adding a wireless set anyway. GENERAL: This is an impressive all-in-one (AIO) computer in such a slim form factor that you won't even notice it's tucked away behind a monitor. I've built over 10 computers in my life, including a small form factor NUC, and I can say that the specs on this Lenovo for under $600 are tremendous value. As with any AIO computer, you cannot upgrade the monitor and cannot rely on upgrading the SSD or RAM. Thankfully, this Lenovo minimizes those issues by allowing you to run a second monitor (even 4k) and using a great 256GB NVMe drive that works great as a boot drive for a long time. You can add an external USB hard drive at any time
