Neowin Giveaway: Lenovo A70Z - Winner Selected


Recommended Posts

"Space-saving, simple set up and clutter-free"

I love my main desktop system.. but the thing is a behemoth. About the size of a mini-refrigerator, and enough cabling to make even the most masochistic nerd cry. Something that has near zero cables? I think my brain would implode.

I like that the Lenovo A70z is easy to upgrade. The page claims that it is one of the most easily-upgradeable AIO PCs out there. It seems to have all the features I require right now, but I like knowing that this PC can still handle the latest technological advancements 2,3, or even 5 years from now!

Update: To enter, paste your favorite feature from the website, those who have pasted configurations will have their entries counted too.

Here's my favorite feature:

"Easy hard-drive access

Avoid squandering IT resources on time-consuming maintenance. Unlike most all-in-one PCs on the market, A70z is simple to upgrade. It's less strain on IT resources and your budget. "

It's annoying when the hardest part of upgrading your system is getting the case or access panel back on.
