The 27 inch Lenovo IdeaCentre 520 AIO (begins at $1,099.99; $1,749.99 as tried) is a good looking, current work area that checks a considerable measure of boxes All-in-One purchasers, smooth plan, stellar touch show, and solid execution. The 520 highlights a work area Core i7 instead of the versatile processor found in many AIOs, and a 2TB hard drive cooperated with 16TB of Intel Optane memory for a portion of the speed of a strong state drive. Be that as it may, it does not have the inside availability and upgradeability of our Editors' Choice midrange AIO, the HP EliteOne 1000. More terrible, so as to keep the Lenovo's effective parts running easily, its cooling fan runs always and that can get irritating.
Our test unit is the lead in Lenovo's IdeaCentre 500 all-in-one line. Underneath it are a 27 inch Core i5 demonstrate; 24-inch and 21.5 inch frameworks, the last offered in both Intel and AMD flavors; and a 23 inch slimline named the 520S. Notwithstanding the 2.9GHz Core i7-7700T CPU and 2TB drive, our 520 accompanies 16GB of RAM, Intel coordinated illustrations, and a 2,560 by 1,440 determination touch screen.
Hello, Good Lookin'
The IdeaCentre 520 AIO is thin and trim for a 27-inch all-in-one. A thin half inch bezel outlines the show, and a 1.7 inch tall speaker bar sits underneath it. In spite of lodging both a hard drive and an optical drive, the framework is just 2.7 inches thick. This isn't a cumbersome framework, and it sits on a reduced yet solid base. The back board and speaker bar grille are charcoal dark plastic, however the stand and show arm are made of steel. The round base measures 9.8 creeps in breadth.
The settled show arm looks tasteful and helps keep the screen solidly established set up. There is a touch of show wobble when you knock the framework or the work area it's on, however the impact is negligible. The tradeoff for the basic style of the show arm is an absence of alteration. It offers tilt yet not stature alteration or swivel.
The 27 inch IPS show is the fundamental fascination of the IdeaCentre; it offers a splendid picture with wide survey points and rich hues, and the touch board feels responsive. The framework's 1440p determination places it in the middle of 1080p and 4K boards. The additional pixels make a crisper picture, particularly when situated straightforwardly before the show. A 4K touch board would be more keen still, however include significant additional cost. You should endure glare and reflections; the touch show's polished covering is a magnet for such inconveniences.
Lenovo outfits the framework with a couple of 3 watt stereo speakers. That doesn't sound exceptionally amazing, yet the distinction from most AIOs' and workstations' 2 watt speakers can be heard. Without the help of a subwoofer, the 520's sound wouldn't shake the windows, yet it offers genuinely full stable that will fill a little room. Films and YouTube recordings sound boisterous and clear, and music playback sounds respectable regardless of whether the bass reaction is typically inadequate.
Extravagant accessories
The framework's webcam has a couple of traps up its sleeve. First off, it covers up in a board over the show so you can be guaranteed of security when it's not being used. Simply push down on the board and the 1080p camera will fly up. It gives a perfect, all around adjusted picture with characteristic looking skin tones for videoconferencing. The webcam is likewise an IR camera, so you can utilize it with Windows Hello to sign into your PC through face acknowledgment.
Lenovo claims the 520 is the principal all-in-one to highlight a far field amplifier, which gives you a chance to give Windows' Cortana partner voice charges from over the room, up to 5 meters away by Lenovo's math. I found the range was generally triple that; in a truly calm house, the framework heard me articulate "Hello Cortana" from two rooms or around 15 yards away.
The IdeaCentre offers a helpful determination of extension ports as long as you needn't bother with a DisplayPort association. On the back board, you'll discover HDMI - in and out ports, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 3.0 Type-C port, and an Ethernet jack. Strangely, there is no mode catch that would give you a chance to switch the video contribution between the PC and whatever video source you connect to the HDMI - in port. Without such a catch, you'll have to unplug or kill your outer HDMI gadget to come back to PC mode.
The solitary port on the left side is a USB 3.0 port, and around the bend from it on the base board are an earphone jack and a SD card peruser. With the little level of tilt change, you can't drive the show back sufficiently far to see where the ports are situated without twisting around and essentially putting your head around your work area to see where to embed your earphones or blaze card. On the correct side is a plate stacking DVD copier.
This is a framework for home clients who have no want or need to get inside the case. Lenovo makes it almost difficult to evacuate the back board, however you can pry it off in careful form to get to the inner parts.

Some in with no reservations ones discover space for an inside power supply, yet the 520 is on the thin side, which must be its reason for utilizing an outside power block. All things considered, it's not an immense block and not very hard to carry around with the framework.
Lenovo groups a remote console and mouse with the framework. They are dark, plastic, and nonexclusive. The 520 accompanies a one-year guarantee.
Glad But Loud
The Lenovo posted an amazing score of 3,380 (2,500 is great and 3,000 is fantastic) in our PCMark 8 benchmark, which measures a framework's appropriateness for efficiency applications. That tops not just the Core i5-fueled HP EliteOne 1000 yet the Acer Aspire Z3, which has a similar Core i7-7700T processor, and the Dell Inspiron 27 7000, which has a strong eight generation AMD Ryzen 7 1700 chip.
The Dell's additional centers gave it the win in our CPU-serious Cinebench estimation and Handbrake video altering workload, yet the IdeaCentre wasn't too a long ways behind, and even tied the Inspiron (and the 27 inch 5K Apple iMac) in our Adobe Photoshop picture altering exercise. The 520's just disillusioning outcomes came in our illustrations tests, where its incorporated designs preclude it from the amusement matrix, it's good for easygoing or solitaire recreations, yet nothing more requesting than that.
Be that as it may, all through benchmark testing and regular utilize, the IdeaCentre 520 AIO depended on a turning cooling fan to hold its thermals in line. It's not horribly uproarious, just ever present. The fan commotion is effectively muffled by the framework's sound in case you're playing music or watching recordings, however it will grind on you when you're working peacefully.
Getting Through the Noise
If its all the same to you word preparing or Web surfing with a humming soundtrack, or you wear earphones frequently, the 520 is an imploringly styled, sensibly evaluated solid entertainer. Be that as it may, on the off chance that you'd like something calmer and all the more effectively serviceable, and can forfeit the touch screen, the HP EliteOne 1000 remains our Editors' Choice in the class.
