All new design

The IdeaCentre AIO 520 has been redesigned with a razor-thin border, slim monitor, and smoothly curving steel sunflower stand. This modern profile is a perfect accent for your workspace – with an option of Warm Silver or Black.

Crystal-clear resolution

Rewatching your snowboarding footage on our FHD near-edgeless display will show every detail of that fresh powder flying off the edge of your board. And with a 10-point touchscreen (Optional), it’s even easier to scroll through footage, pause, and zoom in on the best clips.

Windows Hello

The IdeaCentre AIO 520 stands out with its infrared camera, allowing Windows Hello log you into your computer in less than 2 seconds – just by scanning your face. And when you walk away from your desk, Windows Hello detects your absence and automatically locks your computer.

Cortana – Your personal digital assistant

Meet Cortana, your own personal digital assistant who is prepared to answer your questions, open necessary apps, set reminders and even read appointments from your calendar. Merely type your request into the search bar or speak it out. The AIO 520 is the first All-in-One in the market equipped with the optional Far Field Mic. Your IdeaCentre AIO 520 can hear your voice command across rooms (up to 5 meters away) – no need to sacrifice your energy for functionality.

Hidden webcam

Webcam fright. We’ve all had it. It’s the split second when you wonder if your camera is truly off – or if the people on your conference call have just seen you in your pajamas. IdeaCentre AIO 520 alleviates that fear – with a convenient pop-up webcam at the top of the display. Press to release it when you need it, and simply push it back in place when you’re done, and want guaranteed privacy. Working from home just got better.
