Perfect for any home

Elegant yet simple, the stand and base of the IdeaCentre AIO A340 is sure to impress— and save on desk space. Whether it’s for work, entertainment, or family video-chats, this eye-catching PC will look great in any room.

Goodbye, messy cables

Connected to smartphones, backup drives, and other devices, a PC can look very messy. Not so with the AIO A340. It has a convenient cable collector built into the stand, enabling you to have a more organized, clutter-free desk.

Makes light work of heavy work

The AIO A340 is engineered with high-speed performance in mind. With up to Intel® Core™ i5 processing and the option of discrete graphics, this powerful all-in-one runs seamlessly smooth even when multitasking.

Room for up to 40,000 photos

With up to 1 TB of hard drive, you can store up to 1,000 movies, 30,000 songs, or 40,000 photos—more than enough storage for most families. Alternatively, you can opt for solid-state drive, where you'll find everything's faster, from booting up to running apps and transferring files.

A full array of ports

When it comes to peripheral devices, such as a mouse and keyboard, the AIO A340 has no shortage of ports. As well as USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports and a 3-in-1 card reader, it has HDMI™ Out, should you need to use a second screen.

Now you see me, now you don’t

Your personal privacy matters. That’s why each AIO A340 is fitted with a TrueBlock Privacy Shutter. So when you wish to close your webcam, just touch the button on the tip of your screen.

Fewer borders, fewer distractions

Thanks to the stunning 23.8” FHD display, you can see everything in amazing detail. And with such a narrow border, just 9.5mm at its thinnest, your viewing experience is enhanced even further. What’s more, with optional touchscreen, you can click or drag files directly on the screen.

Totally adjustable

Whether you're working or unwinding, you can tilt the newly streamlined stand to the perfect angle. In addition, you can adjust the screen with one hand, ideal for avoiding any unwanted light reflection.
