Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520 review: Premium look, (almost) premium performance

Lenovo's IdeaCentre AIO 520 is a 27-inch all-in-one PC with a high-res touch display and slick look.

In the world of all-in-one (AIO) PCs, manufacturers need to figure out how to fit a lot of hardware into something that's usually no larger than a standard monitor. Prices can creep up quickly as hardware shrinks, similar to what we see with laptops, and if it's not done properly, you may get a large, heavy device that suffers from performance issues.

Lenovo's IdeaCentre 520, part of its AIO lineup that also includes the 900 series, is positioned as an upper mid-range PC meant for home use. It doesn't have the hardware inside for specialized tasks, but it can easily handle everyday ones, like word processing, video watching, web browsing, and some light to medium gaming.

Do the IdeaCentre 520's performance and design warrant the starting price of about $990? I used this AIO for about a week to come up with an answer.
