Lenovo C315 Reviews
Lenovo IdeaCentre C315
Looking at the Lenovo IdeaCentre C315 is "a bit like staring into the sun"--that's a direct quote from our notes in reference to the bright, vibrant display on this 20-inch all-in-one desktop. But the raw power of this system's screen isn't enough to compensate for the flaws that mar this $750 (as of September 1, 2010) machine. Of course, no one should expect perfection from a PC this inexpensive, in the budget all-in-one category. It's just that some of the C315's competitors serve up better performance and more features without ratcheting up the price. Powering the IdeaCentre C315 is AMD's Athlon II X2 250u processor, a dual-core CPU clocked at a staggeringly low frequency of 1.6GHz. Accompanying it are 4GB of DDR2 memory and a single 500GB hard drive--an average amount of storage for the category. The C315's score of 68 on our WorldBench 6 series of tests is appropriate for the category--barely. Budget all-in-one darlings such as the HP TouchSmart 300 and the Gateway ZX4800-06, which fall into the same price bracket, produced higher scores (98 and 84, respectively).

Lenovo's budget-priced C315 all-in-one offers a competent, low-cost media PC for a fair $699. We're also pleasantly surprised by both its gaming capabilities, as well as the sharp responsiveness of its touch-screen input. Slow performance on our benchmark tests keeps this system from earning a recommendation as a productivity system. It also lacks the connectivity options we like to see in an all-in-one. Despite those shortcomings, we can recommend this PC to those looking for a casual, affordable entertainment system with a small footprint. As with most touch screen all-in-ones, we encourage you to block out any marketing or other suggestions that you buy this system on the idea that its touch input will change your life. That said, we are indeed impressed by the responsiveness of its touch screen, and the small dimensions of the Lenovo C315 (14 inches high, 18.75 inches wide, 6.25 inches deep) make it a viable countertop computer, where a touch interface can be a real boon. Lenovo's touch-specific software is limited to three primary features. You get a power-down screen that displays Windows' shut-down options in a touch-friendly form.
Lenovo C Series C315 All-In-One Desktop PC Review
Ever since entering the all-in-one market early last year with the IdeaCentre A600, Lenovo has been looking at expanding its offerings to reach different types of users. The IdeaCentre A Series, for example, is billed as their 'designer' class product meant for the living room, whereas the equally eye-catching B Series promises a little more oomph with a quad-core CPU and discrete graphics, and the ThinkCentre A70z targets business users looking to save some desk space. Today we'll be taking a look at yet another family of all-in-one desktops from Lenovo, the C Series. This entry-level range is comprised of the Atom-based C300 and the AMD Athlon-equipped C315 -- which itself is available in 40221FU or 40221GU variants. Sitting on our test bench is the latter, which for an extra $100 nets you an additional 2GB of memory (4GB in total), a larger 500GB hard drive and a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. Otherwise hardware specifications are identical to those of its sibling, including the AMD Athlon II X2 250U CPU operating at 1.6GHz, ATI HD 4530 M92-M+ graphics, integrated Wi-Fi, TV tuner and speakers, a webcam, optical drive and a 20-inch Lenovo NaturalTouch multi-touch panel.

The Lenovo C315 ($849 list) is a touchscreen-equipped all-in-one desktop that displays widescreen video. It has an ATSC/HDTV tuner, dual-core power, plenty of RAM, large hard drive, and little bloatware. Unfortunately, the touchscreen only adds to the system's higher price, especially since it still isn't a "must-have" feature on desktops (yet). Add to this the lack of HDMI, Blu-ray, and eSATA, and the C315 ends up as a middling performer. The C315 looks like a bronzed version of the Lenovo C300 ($549 list, ) we saw late last year. It's got the same 20-inch widescreen monitor, but instead of basic black and white swirls on the speakers, the system is basic black with a bronze-metallic bezel. It's a fairly pedestrian design, especially when compared to systems like the Apple iMac 21.5-inch ($1,199 list, ) and Lenovo IdeaCentre A300 ($949 list, ). There's no under-chassis storage for the wired keyboard and the design would be a lot cleaner with a wireless keyboard and mouse. The system's 20-inch widescreen display has a 1,600-by-900 resolution, with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This means it can display 1,280 by 720 (720p HD) video natively or upscaled to the system's native resolution.
