Anandtech posted a review on the Lenovo IdeaCentre A7 All-in-One
As we mentioned in our recent review of Dell's enterprise-class all-in-one, the OptiPlex 9010 All-in-One, balancing the needs of an all-in-one system and making it feel like a solid alternative to a conventional desktop is a difficult process.

You're also dealing essentially with most of the trappings of a notebook in a much, much bigger body.Lenovo IdeaCentre A7 All-in-One Review: Starting to Get The Balance Right
