For channel partners, all-in-one PCs usually offer richer margins compared to traditional notebooks and desktops, Brunt explained. Partners can also wrap hardware, software and services solutions around the sale of an all-in-one PC to further increase their sales.

Lenovo's ThinkCentre A70z is optimized for Microsoft Windows 7 and features a 19-inch widescreen LCD monitor. The unit also comes with its own VESA stand which can be used to mount the PC to a wall or desk.

The machine comes with a choice of Intel Core processors and also comes with a DVD drive, six USB ports, two audio speakers and can support up to 500GB of storage. As add-ons, the ThinkCentre A70z comes with optional Wi-Fi, an optional high resolution Webcam and built-in Skype application, as well as an option for a wireless keyboard and mouse.

The A70z is also serviceable because users have access to internal parts such as the memory and hard drive, Bockhop said.

Brunt said the ThinkCentre A70z would do well for businesses that are looking to do light to medium computing. He cites a business's reception area as a possible use-case scenario where an all-in-one PC would work well.
