100% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

The A50 offers solid performance for general business applications and a wealth of IT management tools.

IBM's documentation assumes some familiarity with PC technology. We found less hand-holding information than we've seen in other manuals, but this manual matches the PC well

Good price. Access IBM button makes self-servicing the system a snap, and IBM's Rapid Restore Ultra is great for those "uh-oh" moments. USB hub on multifunction keyboard is convenient, and FireWire is a welcome addition

CRT monitor, not LCD. But non-Hyper-Threading Pentium 4, integrated (though upgradable) graphics, and DDR333 memory hold back performance

The IBM A50p desktop system is a seemingly great system.

Cheap! in price anyways, but the quality is what you would expect from high end systems. Capable of great expansion and improvement

does need quite a bit of upgrading

So far I'm very happy with this PC. Pros are that it was very clean, packed very well, booted right up, is built like a battleship, and the price is awesome for what you get. It's also a very quiet machine

Hardly any so far... mine was missing one of the little rubber feet on the bottom of the case too - no biggie

Enough processing power for our in-store music server (once we added 512mb Kingston memory from Newegg and an old Creative Live! soundcard) ; Designed for corporate deployment, it's well-built, easy to work on and an excellent value. Don't forget it...

No bay for a second hard drive, but there's room in the case for a simple custom install ; Requires upgrade cards for high quality sound, gigabit ethernet, dvi graphics, etc

The XP Pro SP2 disk is worth more than the computer. Can handle 1GB of memory in each of the 4 slots. Has two SATA connections. Can get specs and drivers at Lenovo's website

Mine came with 512MB of DDR400 PC3200 memory instead of the advertised DDR333 PC2700. It would be great if the motherboard could handle DDR400 but it can only handle up to DDR333 and it doesn't recognize all 512MBs. Will be replacing with 4GB of the...

We bought a total of 5 of these units for a business app. Other than the fact that there are no OS restore disks the units seem great

Not enough RAM or Hard Drive Space for most people. Cheap mouse/KB
