The Lenovo H520

The affordable Lenovo H520s desktop PC is 2 times smaller than a standard desktop PC, which uniquely combines a slim design with the smart performance of a 2nd/ 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor and entertainment features like 5.1 channel surround sound support. Great for e-mail, video playback and organizing photos, the H520s also comes with Lenovo Assistant – an easy to use interface to organize ‘favourites’, clean up history and junk files, and manage the PC’s network connections and energy consumption. The PC is also completely configurable and you choose up to 8GB of RAM, storage capacity can be stretched up to 2TB and you also get an AMD Radeon HD 7570 with 2GB of dedicated memory, which should be good for HD videos and some older 3D games. If you’re not a big fan of AMD, then you could opt for Nvidia’s GT 630 with the same amount of video memory. Also included in the price is Wi-Fi ‘n’, DVD burner or an optional Blu-ray drive and Windows 7 Professional. 

The Lenovo H430 desktop PC offers a multitude of entertainment features at a very reasonable price. Thanks to the smart performance of the 2nd/3rd Generation Intel Core processor with Turbo Boost, it can handle many popular game titles with ease. It is equally good for web browsing, homework, video playback or editing photo albums. Rest of the specifications are configurable just like the H520 desktop.
