My favorite feature is the cable management, since few companies put any thought into that. The only ones that did were Apple, and they managed to put a huge markup on their computers, and they suck.

I want a PC that does some aesthetic things with their case design and layout like Apple does, without buying an Apple because I actually want to be productive rather than look at a pretty piece of useless junk on my desk.

'"Engineered to last Lenovo quality assurance tests show ThinkCentre has the lowest failure rates to date. A70z all-in-one PCs include the same rigid performance and reliability specifications as any other ThinkCentre PC. ""

I've been a loyal Lenovo buyer (and IBM before that) for years and I can say without reservation that these really are the best engineered and reliable PC's available. That may not be a true 'feature' of the A70Z, but it's enough to keep coming back to Lenovo over and over again. But on to the machine itself, being able to mount on an arm is of huge value to me. My gf's AIO came with a non-standard mount, which required us to buy an arm from the vendor directly, which overpriced. I won't mention the brand, but it is in the top 4 world wide.

Requires about a third the space of a standard desktop!

Definitely the space saving. LOVE that, but you know the tv tuner is a great feature also. This would be great to put in the kitchen for the wife and not take up a ton of room, she could get online for recipe's, check out news, or even turn on some tunes while cooking/cleaning, or she could use the tv tuner card to watch her favorite soaps, etc.

Would love to give this to my wife!!!

My favorite feature:

Energy-efficient design

A70z requires a third of the space as standard PCs, run quieter, cooler and consume less energy. They also require less packaging and reduce impact on the environment from manufacturing, to your desk and post-lifecycle.

The best feature is it's space-saving form factor. That means less wires causing havok for me on my small desk at work, and possibly a gain in space! Another feature is that it's an all-in-one, and has a grip handle for carrying it around from time to time. That's a nice touch.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
