The majority of the AIO’s ports are located on its rear: two 2.0 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (all Type-A) for a total of four USB ports, an Ethernet jack, power connector and HDMI output. On the top is a webcam, which can be pulled out of the monitor enclosure like a Sega Genesis cartridge. Further to the left is the nostalgic DVD optical disc drive. Further down, in the left corner, there is a small rubber cover concealing a 3.5 mm port for headphones. Of course, a higher-resolution webcam, a Blu-ray drive or a USB-C port would have been more appealing, but what’s here is quite acceptable for a budget AIO.
The 22-inch display is a manageable 15.9 x 19.3 x 7.3 inches (HWD) at £22. It’s definitely heavier than our top choice for a large-screen AIO a few years ago, the HP Pavilion 24 AIO, and as a 22-inch AIO, it’s a few pounds heavier than the HP Chromebase All-In-One 22. Still, this Lenovo AIO is not unwieldy. Our $599 review configuration comes complete with an Intel Pentium Gold 7505 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, as well as a DVD drive, Windows 11, and a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Lenovo offers around ten different configurations, ranging in price from as low as $529 to as high as $800. The top option comes with a whopping 32GB of RAM and a 2TB SSD, but the processor and integrated graphics remain the same.
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]A quick word about Pentium Gold processors: as far as CPUs are concerned, the Pentium series is near the bottom of Intel’s processor range, close to the Intel Celeron chips (at the bottom) and AMD’s Athlon. While you can’t expect a lot from these processors (more on this in our benchmark analysis), when combined with an SSD and a good amount of RAM, you can see performance gains, at least when it comes to productivity. However, don’t expect advanced gaming or video editing from this machine. This machine is not built for that. This machine is excellent to look at, especially in terms of aesthetics, beating many other all-in-ones available on the market. There are no USB ports on the front, but all the USB ports are on the back and sides. The side bezels are particularly thin compared to the Apple iMac, but the top bezel is thicker to accommodate the webcam and the bottom bezel is thicker to make room for the built-in speaker.
This design means that all the machine’s ports are hidden behind and to the sides of the monitor. The USB 3.1 port, SD card reader and headphone jack are located on the left side, while the optical ports and on/off switch are on the right side. On the rear are an Ethernet port, HDMI, two USB 2.0 and a USB 3.1 port. There is no USB-C or Thunderbolt here. While 4K displays are now available on most of the AIOs on the market, the Lenovo F0EW005TUS maintains a reasonable price with a more modest Full HD panel. The trailer for the film Plan shows.
