Review: Lenovo ThinkCentre M90z


All in one computers is a trend started by Apple and the iMac, but that is being followed by various companies in the field of informatics. Not to be outdone, Lenovo has added this concept to its ThinkCentre desktop PC line.


This model was supposed to be a top market, but Lenovo has opted to stay in the middle and make a product more measured, perhaps with the aim of presenting a minimally competitive price.

Design
The ThinkCentre M90z features a sleek design, looking like a corporate computer, as well as all products of Lenovo. He is all black, with square corners. Without doubt, it works great in offices, but not the best option if you care for beauty and decoration of your room or home office.
Anyway, the main objective is to occupy less space than a desktop tower ocupararia, and that it fulfills very well.

Screen and graphics card
Your screen, perhaps the biggest highlight of the product, has 23-inch Full HD and is sensitive to touch. If you have a small room, the screen size has become a good option for watching movies or for a designer not see your part without any problems.

But the Achilles heel of this all-in-one is its weak graphics chip, which prevents them from running the latest games, with all the resources that delight our eyes.

Hardware
While competitors like HP and segment Itautec opted to put hard drives of 500 GB and 750 GB on their products, the ThinkCentre M90z comes with a 320 GB. We consider a small space, if you take into consideration that a desktop computer is the option of a central house, where all games will be concentrated, heavy programs and collection of films and the family.
Another downside is the fact that he comes with only 2 GB of RAM (limited by the 32-bit Windows), again behind the competition that already works with similar computers with 4 GB. This option would understand to a low-cost computer, but it created a bottleneck when used with Core i5 650, one of the most current market.

Other resources
Again Lenovo could have finished the race in first place, led much of the race, but stopped on the last lap due to lack of fuel. They chose to put Windows 7 Professional, which would be a plus, but opted for 32-bit version, regardless of what they could seize up the good processor.

One positive aspect of the ThinkCentre M90z is the fact that he comes with Bluetooth, without the need for adapter, and consequently occupy a USB port. Not all products come with this feature, but what everyone seems to agree is that Wi-Fi receiver has become a standard.

Also missing quirk of Lenovo and the sound, because the built-in speakers are not capable of more bass.
