Style Name:500GB, DVDRW|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the best computer after my macbook that I have had,from the box to up and running was 5 minutes,it picked up the wireless link and after the passcode it was off and running,it is very quiet in operation and the dvd drive does not make a lot of noise in operation,neither does the hard drive.It comes with a holder for wall mounting with four screws(for behind the monitor mounting) or there is a block for desk mounting,either way it is unobtrusive and can be easily hidden.It has normal monitor connector or hdmi for pluging to a television,network connector for hardwire to router as well as wireless facility.From switch on it only needs to know which country it is in and produces timezone charts and also puts on the new windows explorer software and the Macafee security software.This was bought to replace an aging tower unit that had seen better days,the room is transformed all the trailing cables hve gone,even more if you opt for the wireless keypad.Glad I made this choice,especially with the easy restore system,no discs to cut for restore.

Style Name:500GB|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought the 500GB version of this, running Windows 7, without the DVD or Bluray drive.
Since switching from Windows to a macBook a few months ago, I have found myself missing the practicality of Windows every now and again. Especially for when I need to log into work from home, I've never quite been able to get comfortable using a mac keyboard on a Windows virtual desktop. I love my chunky old-skool keyboard for extended periods of work.
So I needed an inexpensive, basic Windows desktop taking up as little room as possible in my small apartment.
This little gem fits the bill perfectly. I had it up and running, connected to my monitor, wireless keyboard and WIFI within minutes of taking it out of the box. No hassle or complications. It's very compact - my internet router takes up more space.
It has 6 USB ports, 2 of which are USB 3.0. I plan on making good use of the HDMI port for hooking up to my TV - I will update my review later once I get around to playing movies, Netflix etc on it.
It's a great machine for doing your basic day to day stuff like browsing, email, documents, logging in to work etc.
There's a certain amount of fan noise, but not loud enough to be annoying.
It comes supplied with USB mouse and USB keyboard, both of which look good quality. I haven't used them as I already have wireless mouse and keyboard.
All in all a great purchase for the money.

Style Name:500GB, DVDRW|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a great computer it is small and neat and is exactly what I was looking for. Although I wanted a small desktop computer I was surprised to see how small it was. It even surpass my expectation because it actually has 6 USB ports. If I remember correctly the specification given on Amazon said it had 4 ports.
It is very fast and boots up quite quickly. I can hear the fan but that's OK I don't consider it to be noisy. With 500Gb that's more space than I will ever use up. I had no problems whatsoever getting started and connected to the internet. I choose a wireless connection and although I am using windows 7 for the first time it was quite easy to get familiar with it and to connect to my wireless router.
I seriously wanted to buy the Chromebox instead because I like the chrome browser and wanted to try out something new. But I choose to go with the Lenovo Ideacentre only because it allows me to install my microsoft office suite. My Lenovo comes with a DVD drive so it was easy to install my Office 2007 and the software for my printer. I did not like the idea that with the chromebox I would be confined to using a web base version of Word, Excel etc.
Overall I am very happy with this purchase and have not experienced any problems to date. If I could change anything I would change the location and size of the power on button. I would also remove the front cover which covers the 2 USB port at the front. I would also include a built in speaker. However when I use my speakers or headset the sound quality is amazing.
Well done Lenovo hope Dell and others might follow the trend.
