Beware the appalling after support from lenovo. We bought a low end model in the 'IdeaCentre' range about two years ago. Its been back twice with motherboard fault. Each time it failed after about 10months and no longer boots. This time Lenovo are refusing to repair it. On top of that the casing has been cracked while in their care. Disputing it at the moment, but certainly wouldn't touch lenovo again. Not that any of the brands are much better. But this is by far the worst experience I've had.

My laptop battery developed a fault. I called them and had a technician come to me at work 36 hours later and replace the battery. They apologised for the delay.

Great deal in the OP for anyone that got in.

Hi all Is this all in one computer overkill for a home computer

Depends what you're doing. It will handle the majority of people's needs, plus gaming with the decent dedicated card. It will also be extremely fast at multitasking and everyday tasks with the SSD, huge ram and i5 processor. Once you use it, you won't want anything less in future. I'd recommend it for home and family use.

I have an old dell so was thinking of changing
An all in one would be great.
I just thought it might be a bit of a waste for home use

If you're not going to be gaming, this could be an option for home use.

I'd recommend upgrading to an SSD and adding 4GB of RAM. Would cost an additional 120e, but would be extremely fast for your needs.

I had ordered the Lenovo and and I suppose that I was getting a small bit of buyers remorse.
Seems to be some takers on thread to pass it onto..
Is the Lenovo worth 3-400 more?
That's the question I am now asking myself.

Will take it if you're selling it

It is overkill for PC for watching movies, browsing or office work - mostly because it contains expensive graphic card dedicated to gaming. It also uses LCD panel that is not optimal for this kind of use, as it does not work too well for not frontal angles and color reproduction might be not perfect.

However this PC was a great bargain and you might not be able to get a similar bargain when buying a simpler machine. Maybe consider doing some kind of swap.

If we ever get it. I still haven't got a shipping email and some in HUKD ordered after me and got shipping confirmation.

Anyone here lucky yet?

I have not got shipping confirmation yet. All I have at this point is the initial Order Submission. Can't find anywhere on the website to track the current status either with the order number.

You can check status on https://www.findmyorder.com

Not sure if of use to anyone, with the GroupScheme link they have some discounts, use password EXCLUSIVEGS! to access, codes they have are EXCLUSIVEGS!, SUMMERSALE and SPRINGSAVER



But do compare prices with the normal website.
