This piece of kit is as impressive as it sounds in the advertisment, all the bells and whistles that you could want and more, plus they all work.I was toying with getting a HP but having had a bad experience with the all in one printers from HP I decided to give it a miss, I am so glad I did because so far this is great.

Think long and hard about parting with your money for this..., By

Well, I encouraged my father to buy this, having spent years reading rave reviews in the PC press of Lenovo laptops and their legendary durability and reliability. I now feel ashamed to show my face. He took my advice, parted with £1200.00 and then...It arrived promptly, set-up was a breeze and all seemed fine (though the Blu Ray player is just a player, and that is not made as clear as maybe it should be). Then it began to shut itself down, blue screen and all. He phoned the helpline and they told him to do a factory reset; this he did and the problem remained. By the time the helpline acknowledged that a factory reset was not going to do the trick and engineers needed to look at it the time window where one can deal with Amazon had closed and my father had to send it to Germany, to the vendor that Amazon are using for supplying these! They kept the PC a week and then sent it back claiming to have repaired it. Again it began to crash in just the same way, several times a day. He phoned them and they said to send it back to Germany again. This time they kept it for--wait for this--a month. There was no communication from them, they don't even acknowledge receipt of the pc when he sends it to them. As time passed he phoned the call centre to ask what was happening and they just told him they were waiting for a part and wouldn't give a return date. Eventually, after a month it was returned to him for the second time. A week later it began crashing once again. Amazon have now offered to replace.
Think hard. Lenovo have a good reputation for business laptops but their coustomer support in the UK for their consumer desktops is literally non-existent (it is in Germany). Moreover, one might think this could be a rogue machine, and therefore not indicative of Lenovo quality. However, it is as a matter of fact indicative of Lenovo support (terrible), customer service in the UK (terrible), and quality control (how could it be worse: Lenovo have had this PC in their repair centre in Germany for as long as my father has had it at home in the 3 months since he first took delivery of it, yet it still has precisely the same problem that Lenovo twice claim to have repaired). Ask yourself if you want to pay £1200 for this hassle.

Great System but No HDMI-In on this model, By

I have had this for a couple of month now and would like to share my experience, In summary this is a good system. It is quiet and responsive, great for space saving, fast and stylish.Bad Points: Since you can all see the promo videos on YouTube ...
1. There is not HDMI in ... So I cannot connect my laptop to it to have a bigger screen
2. The wireless Card is not great. On a 50MB link I can only get 20MB on wireless even when 10 feet from the router
3. The system comes with one "C" Drive ... Madness since it is a 2TB Drive and if you want to back up the system partition you have to save to a separate drive ... I defragged the drive and shrunk the C Drive (100MB) and created a User D Drive
4. Touch screen sounds great ... but I have to admit it is a bit of a Fad, unless you are using it as a TV or Media Player
5. The keyboard and mouse takes a few seconds to wakeup after inactivity, this can be a bit annoying.
I would recommend this to someone who wants to use it as a Computer AND a TV ... if you are not bothered about the TV then there are cheaper systems you can buy.
