Multifunctional assistant

Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 510 is a rather interesting monoblock with universal positioning — it can equally well serve as a multimedia centre, office machine or work PC.

The model has an unusual design, which leaves a slightly contradictory impression. On the one hand, the screen has the thinnest side frames according to all testaments of 2019. On the other hand, the engineers decided to move the webcam, speakers and company logo to the bottom panel, which makes it look overloaded and breaks the overall proportions, visually shifting the centre of gravity down. The impression is that she is not part of the block, but was attached to the screen at the very last moment.

Quad Core i5

The monoblock is based on a quad-core Core i5 6400T, which, with the help of Turbo Boost, it accelerates to 2.8 GHz and easily pulls out any office tasks, although it still belongs to the sixth generation of the Intel chip line. In terms of memory, we have 4 GB DDR4 and a built-in 500 GB HDD. The amount of RAM can be expanded with an additional slot (maximum capacity is 16 GB), and the company needs an additional M.2 SSD for the system for the HDD.

Comfortable mouse and keyboard included

But in terms of peripherals and additional features, the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 510 outperforms most competitors. Instead of the usual 4 USB ports for monoblocks, here we have all 5. Moreover, two of them are placed on the front panel, which greatly simplifies the process. Instead of one HDMI for connecting additional monitors, we have 2 ports at once. Also on the side panel you can find a card reader and DVD burner for the orthodox. Well, the keyboard and mouse that come with the kit turned out to be compact and comfortable (the keyboard has a low block).

Not the best price on the market

Perhaps the main point of contention Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO is its price. This is no doubt a great and feature-packed model, but it has more affordable and no less interesting competitors from Asus and HP, which will cost $100-150 less, but will lack additional ports, a DVD drive, and a comfortable mouse and keyboard.
