Reviews of the Lenovo ThinkCentre A60 Topseller Program

    CNET Review

    September 7, 2006

    The Good: Serious security and maintenance features; dual-core AMD Athlon X2 provides more than enough processing power for the majority of business users; open PCI Express slots.

    The Bad: Limited expansion space for hard drives and RAM; weak power supply means your upgrade options are limited; warranty is not as generous as other business systems'.

    The Bottom Line: The Lenovo ThinkCentre A60 offers no-nonsense security features that business users need, along with decent components for a reasonable price. Only its short warranty gives us pause.
