Lenovo IdeaCentre B500 08873AU Specs and Features With Reviews

Because of their heat and power limitations, all-in-ones generally don't make the best platform for gaming systems. That hasn't stopped Lenovo from trying. The $1,399 IdeaCentre B500 08873AU actually boasts more than just a stylized exterior. It has the fastest 3D chip among Windows-based all-in-ones, and posted reasonably capable gaming performance. Lenovo missed a big opportunity by leaving out an HDMI input. This IdeaCentre also still lags far behind traditional gaming desktops. Only gamers with less-demanding performance needs should consider this PC. Other shoppers tempted by its large screen or its Blu-ray drive can find those same features elsewhere for less.
