IdeaCentre B305

The IdeaCentre B305 was also released in 2010. It was an AIO, like other models in the series, and received contrasting reviews from PCMag and PC Pro. PC Pro described the desktop as being admirably thin, comparing it to the 21.5 inch Apple iMacs. The B305 offered an identically sized screen, larger hard disk space (640GB) and Windows 7 as opposed to OS X. Picture was described as having a “cold grey cast” while colors were indicated to be drab. The US version of the desktop offered a TV tuner and Media Center remote – however, the UK version did not have either. The 3 watt speakers had low volume, which necessitated the use of external speakers. The B305 was described by PC Pro as being suitable for Internet and office tasks, but not for use as a media center.
