Is this a good deal on a new PC?

[cmore]

I found what seems to be a good deal on a new PC here:

Lenovo B510 Core i3 Dual 3.2GHz 23" All-in-One PC for $699 + free shipping

It is a Lenovo. Ive never heard of that brand before.
Has anyone here?

Intel Core i3-550M 3.2GHz dual-core processor, 23" 1920x1080 (1080p) widescreen LED-backlit LCD, 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, DVD burner, ATI Radeon 5450 1GB video card, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth, Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, webcam, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

It sounds like a good deal to me, although the hard drive seems a little small at 500GB.

what do you think?

thanks in advance for your time.

Lenovo is the spin-off when IBM sold their PC division.
I am not a fan of all-in-ones, (except iMac), but the components seem OK. 500 Gb hard drive is the new starting point for most systems, it seems.
Price is average or slightly above.
My .02 cents.

Good deal on PC?

Political Correctness is never a good deal

I buy the barebone ones from Tigerdirect and put them together myself, so that's way high for my tastes when I can get a comparable one for $300 or so. I don't like buying the bundle stuff because they generally stuff lower end parts into them designed to burn up a few months after your warranty expires.

I've heard Tigerdirect has had some customer service issues. If I had to order certain items over the net, I generally use Newegg.

I just bought the wife a HP slimline(don't know the model #). 4 gigs RAM, 1 TB harddrive windows 7/w office. Does everything you can ask it and if it doesn't have the software, it'll get it. $329 @ Staples. If it craps out, I'll get another one. I went Tiger direct in 2001 and I just junked it so it went 9 years, but after getting everthing I want it's $800+. Joe

You're wasting your money!
This computer/internet fad can't last much longer.

What caliber is it? We really need pics to be able to give you a price. Does it come with the original box and paperwork?

Sams has a 23" HP with 2 time the Memory and double the disk for $599. I have had problems with the all-in one PC's and you will pay more for them. Also look at the the HP Wen site for some sales. Often OfficeMax and OfficeDepot have sales that can save you a lot. If you already have a monitor Officemax has a desktop with the same features that your has for $329. Check their Sunday ads.

Walmart.com: HP Black Pavilion p6823wb Desktop PC Bundle with AMD Phenom II 521 Dual-Core Processor, 20" WLED Monitor, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Home Premium: Computers
I bought this a couple of weeks ago, and have been happy with it so far. It replaced a 13 month old Sony Viao all in one. It's computer worked, but the moniter went bad. I wasn't a fan of the all in one concept.

Another tip. When you buy a PC online, they will charge a lot more money to add more memory. I recently bought an HP laptop with 4GB ram. I bought another 4GB ram from Crucial.com for $26 + free shipping. You have to be willing to add it yourself for this to work. Some folks do not feel comfortable opening up their PC's. They also have a tool that will tell you what you have in your PC and tell you if you can add more. For older PC's this is the cheapest way to improve performance. As your PC gets older it will slow down because every time you update windows, your PC needs more memory to run.

Haven't owned a desk top in 15 years, laptops only for me. I have a Lenovo G560 I've been very happy with. The only problem I tend to have with laptops is I keep burning out the AC adapters, I was in the habit of keeping them plugged in full time.
