Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 3 (27-inch, 2020)

Low, low price ; Compact chassis ; Optical drive, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth included ; Relatively free of bloatware

Laptop CPU means sluggish performance, even versus other budget systems ; Internal expansion next to nil ; No USB-C ports ; Mere 90-watt external power supply

Inexpensive and compact, the Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 makes sense as a second or third system for web browsing but no heavy—or even moderate—lifting.

Strong AMD Ryzen performance ; Hideaway webcam ; Sleek design ; Good body ; Great built

Interior is not easily accessible ; Ports & slots are hard to reach ; Sometimes not available ; Runs hot at times ; Sound is loud at times
