SystemProcessor: Intel Core i5 2320 3GHzMemory: 8GBVideo card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 555m 1GB GDDR5BlueRay and DVD drive1TB Hard DiskDesignBeautiful screen, just a glass front with touch buttons on the frame to adjust brightness, volume, etc. Speaker bar below the screen is covered with a fine metal mesh. Timeless without extravagance. In the middle a small white diode decorates and only decorates the front view of the B520. It is not bright enough to illuminate the keyboard. Also the back view is well designed. The plastic case is brushed and in grey color so that it pretends to be noble metal. But this it does this pretty good. A metal grid covers the opening on top of the case,a good solution for the heat from inside to rise up outside.SoundActually the six speaker have a clear sound and really produce a surround sound for media content. BUT here you can not have such a good sound as with a full sound system with a sub-woofer. Some tones make the speaker clank. I tested every volume setting to avoid this but with dissonant tones the outer speaker keep clanking.PerformanceUntil now this machine smoothly performs all my applications satisfactory. It also keep silent when running demanding processes. When playing games and the video card have its turn then i notice a little roar behind the monitor and actually the monitor keep the machine noise behind itself. I didn't run the newest PC games, thus i have no experience with higher demands. But i think with the mobile graphic card in this PC its performance will not be comparable with real desktop GPUs.During simple use (i.e. browsing through the Internet) the temperature of the CPU moves between 30 - 40 degrees. Only ca. 1.5 GB memory of the available 8 GB are in use.When playing video games the temperature of both the CPU and GPU growth up around 60 degrees. My maximum demand of memory didn't exceed 2 GB considerable. So i still have a surplus for future applications.Because Windows 7 uses all four cores of the CPU at any time i didn't observe it to start the turbo mode of the "i5 2320" when using only 2 cores.The only think to do better next time for Lenovo is to equip this PC with a better graphic card - think of ASUS. This AIO has a real desktop CPU and i think a mobile GPU could be bottleneck.I'm very impressed of this all-in-one (AIO). I was looking for a year and compared nearly every AIO on the market. At the end i bought this one.

Very pleased all round, but the built in microphone suffers from an annoying deficit in volume. It struggles to pick up my voice and in consequence boosts the signal so much that Skype callers get a load of background hiss along with my voice. I have reinstalled drivers, tested it in Microsoft Sound Recorder and played around with settings. Customer support claimed to know nothing of this issue but offered to inspect the machine if I packaged it myself; I'm not inclined to go through the hassle - I now use a headset microphone which works fine. I suspect this is a manufacturing defect, but I don't suppose they would admit to that. A shame, because the machine is otherwise very satisfactory.

Computer up and running and playing Angry Birds by Friday 11:30 - surely a record.Thanks Amazon and every one else concerned, you can't get much better than that.And quite a resonable price for for the product.Computer quality, build and finish superb, lovely screen. Keyboard high quality and mouse excellent. Lenovo should be proud of their product - I am.No hesitation of awarding five stars.Thanks again
