Overview

The modified Lenovo ThinkCentre A70 is a small form factor desktop PC designed for small to medium sized businesses. They are designed by the creators of ThinkPad so right away you can tell they will have all the requirements your average user will need and that they are both dependable and of high quality.

What we like best

Lenovo have given the A70 a respectable chipset, two screen use is quick and easy to set up, with Windows 7 Professional as the default operating system you can quickly get to work on this machine.

For the redesign the vent system has been improved along with some cosmetic touches such as the red eject CD button which is refreshing after all the hidden and camouflaged buttons you normally can’t find on towers.

What we like least

Naturally if you’re dealing with sensitive materials the more secure your system is the better. It just seems more and more computer designers throw a fingerprint scanner into the mix because it’s better to be with one than without. Personally I use mine rarely and only when I’m feeling particularly paranoid /or bored.


The verdict

The A70 has been titled best-in-breed, and as far as business computers go this truly is a thoroughbred PC at a budget price.
