IdeaCentre B520

Announced at CES 2011, the B520 was the successor to the B500 released in 2010. PC World described the AIO as the most attractive all-in-one they had seen. Among the new features included was multitouch support. The desktop also included up to Intel Core i7 processors, Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics or NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M discrete graphics. The discrete graphics card was necessary to take advantage of the desktop’s 3D capabilities. The B520 could be equipped with up to 16GB DDR3 RAM. Hard disk support for both SATA and Solid State Drive was available, with up to 2TB SATA hard disk drive or a 32GB solid state drive. The B520 sported a 23-inch full HD display, with support for 3D Vision which was an optional feature. As with previous B Series desktops, the speakers were integrated, offering Dolby Surround Sound 5.0.
