Lenovo C560 Touch

The Lenovo C560 Touch all-in-one desktop is priced like a midrange system, but outfitted like an entry-level PC.

Decent performance. 23-inch full-HD display. Tool-free access to RAM and drive bays.

Optical touch sensor adds bulky bezel. Only supports 5-finger touch. Wired keyboard and mouse. No Blu-ray drive.

Conclusion The Lenovo C560 Touch is an adequate entry-level all-in-one, selling at a midrange price. While performance is pretty good, the feature set is hit-or-miss, and I came away from testing feeling that the system should either offer a bit more...

Lenovo C560 Touch Review

This family-focused Windows all-in-one delivers a bright display and dependable performance for everyday activities. You'd be hard-pressed to find such a solid performer with this attractive a price tag.

Affordable ; Sleek design ; Bright display ; Excellent audio ; Easy-open rear panel

Weak webcam

The Lenovo C540 Touch boasts a full-HD touch screen, excellent audio quality and solid performance at an affordable price.

Lenovo C560 Touch

The Lenovo C560 Touch is an 23-inch all-in-one touch PC with a 1080p display, 8GB of RAM and a good construction. While we like the build, the exterior isn't anything too special in terms of design and it lacks Bluetooth and and HDMI-input.

Well-constructed, Hard drive and memory user upgradable, 1080p touch screen, Good performance

Glossy display, Exterior is plain and lots of plastic, No HDMI-input or Bluetooth

My new go to for desktop replacements

I've bought several of these to replace desktops in my offices, I like all-in-ones to remove floor clutter. I spend just a little more getting a 120GB SSD, pop out the HDD, and install Windows 7 on it for my office enivronment

Plenty fast for office environment non glossy screen (which is why I chose this over the touch screen) windows 7 drivers readily available easy access to disk drive and memory

wired keyboard and mouse

Lenovo 4160T

I like the computer. Easy to assemble. Seems to work good so far. Looks nice

I burned maybe 5 dvds. Now it won't burn, nor will it read. The dvd burner looks rather flimsy, but I was hoping it would work.I will probably have to buy an external now.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great computer

This computer was purchased at work for use in the office. Extremely easy and clean setup up, works silently and very quickly. Only reason it gets 4 eggs and not 5 is because of Windows 8.1, which is the only OS aviable on this system.

EXTREMELY easy to set up and use ; Silent ; Built in Wi-Fi card

Windows 8.1
