Настольный ПК Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z

С графическим процессором Intel GMA X4500 в трехмерные игры на A70z не поиграешь. Но его фактор «все в одном», обеспечивающий установку в местах, где полноразмерный десктоп был бы не практичен, предоставляет возможности использовать этот ПК как хороший сетевой сервер или запасной компьютер для спальни или кухни.

Хотя ThinkCentre A70z является частью бизнес-серии Lenovo, он предлагает много функциональных возможностей для домашнего пользователя. Компактность, тихая работа, и разумная цена делают это хорошим выбором для каждодневной работы. Однако среди быстро переходящих на 64-битовые системы 32-битовая операционная система кажется почти анахронической. Мы думаем, что было также бы неплохо добавить немного больше RAM.
У A70z один из более четких матовых экранов стекла, которые мы видели в последнее время, что означает, что Вы получаете хорошее качество изображения без проблем из-за яркого света, часто связанных с глянцевыми экранами. Разрешение экрана 1440x900, хотя и маловато для сегодняшнего рынка, прекрасно для 19-дюймового экрана.
Из-за размещения оптический привод нелегко использовать, и найти на ощупь кнопку извлечения сложно.
Однако за свою цену A70 предлагает надежную работу в компактном корпусе для обычных пользователей.

Lenovo, the world's fourth largest vendor of personal computers, purchased IBM's PC division in 2005 for the handsome sum of $1.75 billion, and along with it the widely recognized ThinkPad moniker. Lenovo has picked up the ball and run with Think branding, christening its business-focused PCs with some iterations of the name—ThinkServer, ThinkStation, ThinkCentre, etc. Lenovo's “Lifestyle” line of PCs use a similar naming convention, substituting “Think” for “Idea,” as in IdeaPad and IdeaCentre. With the A70z's integrated Intel GMA X4500 graphics processor, 3D gaming is all but out of the question. But its All-in-One (AIO) form factor lends itself to installation in places where a full-size desktop wouldn't be practical, meaning it might make a good network server or computer for the spare bedroom or kitchen. Let's take a look. Specifications, Pricing and Availability The Lenovo A70z is widely available from online retailers such as Amazon, Office Depot, Sears, TigerDirect, and NewEgg. Prices hover in the $500-750USD range, depending on options. Our unit, which has a Core 2 Duo E7500 running at 2.93GHz, lists for $735 USD at Newegg.com.

Though the ThinkCentre A70z is part of Lenovo's business line, it offers plenty of functionality for the home user. The system's compact footprint, quiet performance, and reasonable price make it a good choice for everyday computing. However, with things in the PC world rapidly moving towards 64-bit, the 32-bit operating system seems almost anachronistic. We think this system would benefit from a bit more RAM, as well. The carrying bag (sack, really) the machine comes with is a bit silly. If you're buying this system for its portability, you'll definitely want a case that offers some padding and compartments for peripherals and cords. The system has a built-in carrying handle anyway, making the bag not only gimmicky, but redundant. The A70z has one of the sharper matte screens we've seen of late, which means you get good image quality without the glare problems often associated with glossy screens. The 1440x900 screen resolution, though on the low end in today's marketplace, is frankly fine for a 19” screen. The optical drive's placement doesn't really lend itself to easy use, and finding the eject button by touch takes a bit of practice. However, for the price (the models with less powerful processors provide an even better value), the A70 offers reliable performance in a compact package for everyday users.
