Lenovo Lenovo 24" FHD All-in-One Desktop Computer for Review
The Lenovo 24" AIO has 100th percentile social proof, but its Intel N100 CPU sits in the 4th percentile. It's a basic machine for a very basic desk.
The 30-Second Version
This Lenovo AIO is for basic use only, with a CPU in the 4th percentile and tiny 128GB storage. Its 100th percentile social proof means it's popular, but that's for its clean design and included screen, not its speed. Only buy if your computing needs are extremely light and desk space is your top priority.
Overview
The Lenovo 24" FHD All-in-One is a study in extremes. Its social proof score sits in the 100th percentile, meaning it's one of the most reviewed and discussed AIOs in our database, which is a big deal for a budget machine. People are clearly buying it. But the other numbers tell a different story: its Intel N100 CPU lands in the 4th percentile for performance, and its 128GB SSD is in the 11th percentile for storage. This isn't a powerhouse; it's a clean, simple box for basic tasks.
What you're getting is a 23.8-inch 1080p IPS screen, 16GB of RAM, and a wireless keyboard and mouse, all in a single cloud-grey chassis. It scores a 72.1/100 for business use and a 60.4/100 for home office, which aligns perfectly with its spec sheet. It's designed to be plugged in, used for emails, spreadsheets, and web browsing, and then forgotten about. The gaming score of 11.1/100 should tell you everything you need to know about its entertainment ambitions.
Performance
Let's be clear about the performance: it's minimal. The quad-core Intel N100 processor is an entry-level chip, and its 4th percentile ranking means it's slower than 96% of the desktops we track. That's fine for opening a dozen Chrome tabs and running Microsoft Office, but don't expect to edit video or compile code. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics, sitting at the 24th percentile, confirms this is not a machine for anything graphically intensive. Even basic 3D tasks or light photo editing will feel sluggish.
The bright spot is the 16GB of DDR4 RAM, which lands in the 38th percentile. That's enough memory to handle decent multitasking without constant slowdowns, which is crucial since the weak CPU can't afford to be swapping data to disk. And speaking of disk, the 128GB SSD is the biggest bottleneck. At the 11th percentile, it's tiny. Windows 11 and a few applications will eat most of that space, leaving you reliant on external drives or cloud storage from day one.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Massive social proof: It's in the 100th percentile for reviews and discussion, meaning it's a known quantity with lots of user feedback. 100th
- Excellent port selection: The 94th percentile score here means you get modern USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, HDMI-out for a second monitor, and Wi-Fi 6, which is great for connectivity. 81th
- Surprisingly reliable: A 78th percentile reliability score suggests these units tend to work out of the box and keep working for basic tasks. 77th
- Decent RAM for the class: 16GB is above average (38th percentile) for this price point and prevents multitasking from becoming a total slideshow.
- Clean, space-saving design: The all-in-one form factor with a thin-bezel 1080p IPS screen is a tidy solution for a desk.
Cons
- Anemic processor: The Intel N100 CPU is in the 4th percentile. This is a hard limit on any task beyond the absolute basics. 4th
- Tiny storage: The 128GB SSD (11th percentile) is almost comically small for a primary computer in 2024. You'll need external storage immediately. 14th
- Weak integrated graphics: The Intel UHD Graphics' 24th percentile ranking rules out any gaming or creative work beyond watching videos. 27th
- Heavy for an AIO: At around 4.3kg (9.5 lbs), it's not particularly lightweight if you need to move it. 32th
- Keyboard layout issues: Multiple users report a non-standard keyboard layout (like the @ symbol being in the wrong place), which can be a major annoyance.

Value & Pricing
Priced between $470 and $560, the value proposition is narrow. You're paying for the convenience of the all-in-one form factor and a decent screen, not for performance. The price-per-performance ratio is low because the performance itself is so low. However, if your needs are literally just web browsing, document editing, and video calls, and you desperately want to avoid a tower and monitor clutter, this does that job. Just know that a similarly priced mini-PC paired with a basic monitor would likely give you more power and upgradeability.
vs Competition
Compared to other desktops in its price range, it's all about trade-offs. Next to a budget gaming tower like the Legion Tower 5i, you're giving up 90% of the performance for the AIO design. Against a modern mini-PC like an Intel NUC, you lose the upgrade path and often get a weaker CPU, but you gain the built-in screen. The key differentiator is the form factor. If you compare it to other all-in-ones, its specs are typical for the bottom tier. The HP or Dell equivalents with similar Intel N-series chips will perform nearly identically; the choice then comes down to brand preference, specific port layouts, and which bundled keyboard you hate less.

Common Questions
Q: Can this computer run two monitors?
Yes, it has an HDMI-out port on the back. You can use the built-in 24" display as your primary and connect a second monitor via HDMI for a dual-screen setup.
Q: Is 128GB of storage enough?
Almost certainly not for long. That's in the 11th percentile for storage capacity. Windows 11 and essential apps will take up most of it. Plan to use the USB ports for external drives or rely heavily on cloud storage.
Q: Can it handle light gaming or photo editing?
No. Its Intel UHD Graphics are in the 24th percentile, and the N100 CPU is in the 4th. It struggles with anything beyond basic video playback. For gaming (it scores 11.1/100) or editing, you need a much more powerful system.
Who Should Skip This
Skip this if you do anything remotely demanding. Students needing software for coding or design, small business owners using QuickBooks alongside a dozen browser tabs, or anyone who stores a large local media library should look elsewhere. The 4th percentile CPU and 11th percentile storage are immediate deal-breakers for any sustained workload. You'll hit performance walls and storage limits frustratingly fast.
Verdict
We can only recommend this Lenovo AIO to a very specific user: someone who needs the absolute simplest, most space-efficient computer for rudimentary tasks and has zero interest in future upgrades or performance. The data is clear—its CPU and storage are among the weakest we see. If your workflow involves more than one Microsoft Office app and a browser at a time, or if you think you might need to install more than three large programs, you will quickly outgrow and become frustrated by this machine. For everyone else, spending a little more on a system with a better processor or opting for a modular setup is a vastly better investment.
