Agree. This doesn't seem that good. The MSRP has to be inflated, there's just no way.

Nothing of the Costco's AIO beat it. Taking a shot.

I don't really understand the appeal of an AIO like this.

Why would you buy this instead of a $400 laptop or maybe a $400 laptop connected to a $100 monitor ?

I don't wanna threadcrap, just don't understand AIOs..

I bought AIO for my parents once, mostly because price is right and smaller/ cleaner footprint. As for why not cheap laptop with cheap monitor, same reason it looks clunky, you need extra keyboard and mouse, I guess not as elegant some will say. Plus not sure about this T model cpu, my impression is most laptop equivalent of CPU is way slower than desktop equivalent. Purchasing electronic is not always best bang for the buck

I know some businesses prefer AIO's especially when they have limited spaces and they don't want to deal with any extra cables.

Correct. Somewhat niche but these are great in production/manufacturing scenarios where space is limited and you need a larger display. If the worker takes a shit on the keyboard, change the (full size, mind you) keyboard. I've no experience with this model but the higher-end lenovo think series are insanely easy to service, thermals are better, and they often perform better than a similarly-priced laptop (although you could probably do better with a low-voltage 11th gen i7 laptop in this case). T-series processors have been for quite a few years now a great compromise of performance and size between mobile and full desktop cpus.

This has no touch though, so loses a lot of appeal to me. If I wasn't concerned about touch but space was still an issue, I'd go with the Tiny / TIO lenovo combo due to serviceability. If you are supporting remote workers you don't want to have to ship them a a 15lbs box when replacing hardware, if it's avoidable. Or Dell makes an interesting built-into-the-monitor-stand solution that I have yet to try. Not sure how that fits into a mounted solution though.

Funny how their included keyboard is valued by -$3 if you chose not to buy it, and mouse is -$2. Basic support charge is also automatically included

This is more for a business, such as a casino terminal for workers or terminal station for warehouse workers. Giveaway #1 is the small screen and win 10 pro license.
In certain situations, the all in ones are great.

Very common business models are small business such as medical/dental offices. Also popular in school labs/libraries. I did IT consulting in the Small/Medium business for 15 years. These are very easy to replace under warranty for a non technical staff.

I've seen better all in ones over this from HP for about same price and they have more desk appeal

Umm. Well this is not as portable as a laptop. But I don't know any laptop that has the same screen size as this. These have built in webcam. This is for someone who doesn't have room for a tower
