Lenovo IdeaCentre A720

Lenovo IdeaCentre A720. The IdeaCentre A720 looks to be in that same spirit. It uses an arm with two points of articulation to smoothly swing the screen up to vertical, then back down to horizontal. In the vertical position, the screen is in the traditional position for use with a keyboard and mouse. Closer to horizontal, and the screen works well as a touchscreen, like when you use a tablet. Since the horizontal screen can be placed at the same angle as a keyboard, it is much less fatiguing than holding your arm out straight to manipulate the screen in a vertical position. The design embraces the modern minimalism that's so trendy today: the base has a slot-loading optical drive, the display is frameless (it feels like one solid pane of glass to your fingers), and the screen itself is slim since the internal components are built into the base. The system's 27-inch screen is sure to be true 1080p HD (1,920 by 1,080 resolution) or better, with ten multi-touch points so you can use all of your fingers simultaneously. 27-inches matches the current generation of large-screen iMacs, and is sure to be joined by other manufacturers with 27-inch all in one PCs of their own.

Since the system is placed at the top of Lenovo's product offerings, it comes with lots of high-end options, including multi-core Intel processors, up to Nvidia GeForce GT 630M discrete graphics, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, up to 1TB of hard drive space, an optional solid-state drive (for bootup), DVD or Blu-ray drive, USB 3.0, HDMI in and out, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, optional Bluetooth, and an optional TV tuner. It's ready for Windows 8, with the aforementioned 10-point multitouch and high end hardware.
