Lenovo H320 Desktop

Lenovo, the pumps used desktop themes in a recent year uncooked spaghetti, throw everything in a saucepan, mix a little, then take something and throw it on a wall to see what sticks. The Essential series is one of the innovations came from the revival of Chinese design software giant, which are more affordable feature-oriented, rather than focus on the design of the discussion, the computer.

This is not to say that the H320 poorly designed, far from it, actually. This small desktop computer was born with efficiency in mind, and lives up to expectations that the smallest possible space on the desktop.

Lenovo has definitely side with other manufacturers of used books, H320 offers almost - but not quite the same thing - the offers of other companies, like HP and Gateway (Acer). Although this is not entirely their fault, because starting from a certain point, all these Slim Tower desktop look the same, may have tried a new approach. Apple and Dell, for example, both stations are very small, which offer superior performance in a nettop.

Like most of this desktop thin, the optical drive is mounted vertically on the front of the car behind the door in glossy black plastic. The plate is coated with a glossy black plastic and offers seamless - if it scratches easily - look.

Both parties are largely featureless, plus a few ventilation holes strategically placed. Lenovo would be nice if some kind of support at least one page for users who prefer to lay horizontally instead of vertically on the table was locked.

The front of the H320 offers the scanner vertically aligned, as mentioned above. As a nice bonus, Lenovo has managed to squeeze a Blu-ray / DVD. Two USB 2.0 ports on the bottom, and two regular analog audio jacks and signals the start line of headphones. Memory card multi-card reader next to the device power button on top to complement the curvature of the front ports.

As always, the back of the machine where the real action. In H320, including Lenovo, only four USB 2.0 ports, it's a shame he is gone. There are three analog audio jacks for line-in, line-out and microphone audio sources.

Gigabit Ethernet networking takes care of all the sitting around, and two PS / 2 ports for peripherals up. H320 is equipped with a USB mouse, and surprisingly, a wired PS / 2 keyboard. It is time for the PS / 2 ports are completely removed from the desktop to the consumer (who have their own place in the business-unit focus) and it would be nice to see that Lenovo can only be good for the next iteration of the USB.

By default, the Lenovo H320 comes with a VGA Essential and HDMI connection. What is great that these natives of the motherboard, even if the user is now a basic model with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD GPU HM55, purely in order to connect an external monitor (like HDTV) with a connection digital.

For those who want to update the discrete GPU like the GeForce 310 units in this review, everyone has an extra VGA card and HDMI port. The only drawback is that the connectors on the video card and video ports on the motherboard can not be used simultaneously, which is a very common problem on the table than that.
