I don’t know what you consider to be an “All-In-One”.
I buy based on price, memory, and hard disk, not by brand.
I have Dell, Acer, and Lenovo; all of which I like.

Lenovo makes decent hardware, sometimes very good hardware in the upper price ranges.

However it took me a while to clean out the bloatware that I could find, and I still hear of newer malware being preinstalled.

Not uncommon on any PC made in China.

Lenovo was IBM until the Chinese Communists bought it.

I have had good luck with Acer, and currently use an Asus. I also like Toshiba.

As you can see from the responses you’ve gotten so far you’re not going to get an adequate response because of the way you framed your question.
So, ask yourself what will be the PRIMARY purpose of that computer? What will be a seconday use but, still important to you?
Examples: Home business use as a primary objective. Some Net research to suport that use. Or, personal use. Gaming. Video editing. Streaming videos. Streaming movies. Simply surfing the net and watching whatever you come across. The purpose of the PC is the most important consideration.

I’ve had a Lenovo YOGA 710 notebook for about 4 years, heavily used daily. It does what I need, mostly internet, routinely have 12-15 tabs open with no problem, operating on Win 10 and Chrome browser. I do play a game called Rail Nation that uses lots of memory and it handles it well, with good graphics, etc. My model is 10.5” or so screen, as I did not want a larger, heavier device.

I have a Thinkpad that’s never been turned off except maybe 6 times in 5 years for trips. It gets a reboot every 10 days on average.(Linux) Nothing fancy,an i5 with onboard graphics and 4gig memory but I did change the hard drive to a SSD before I put a battery in it and it sets on a 3 fan coolpad. Best machine I’ve ever owned and I have a closet full.

Best computer I’ve ever owned is the HP Spectre.

Lenovo on the consumer end has many features for the price but the hardware quality is poor. You will probably regret the purchase. The laptop will phone home to China so don’t do any online banking with it.

I use a Lenovo laptop. I uninstalled the Lenovo software. I’m very pleased with the performance.

Have a Lenovo Yoti/Yota... promising specs, but useless.

Get a Surface Pro if you can justify the cost. Mine’s a workhorse — one of the best computer investments I’ve made in decades. Bought it ~5 years ago. Still amazingly solid.

You should be able to find a “pre-owned” Surface Pro. SP3 i7 256 gb would be a good find.

(HP 9100 all in one user here)
Running windows 10 on this old faithful gal was kinda slow
But instead of junking her

I just got a new HD with linux on it
sooooo much faster and less hassle

I choise Zorin over Ubuntu due to it resembles windows.
Now my 10 yr old ...all in computer runs like brand new!

I have had several Lenova lap tops over the years that have performed very well. My last one died with a malfunctioning mother board because I spilled coffee on it, It was cheap to replace.

I’ve been using Lenovo laptops for many years. Never bought one new. I get the ones from ebay that come from a lease situation. I bought new Flex 4’s for the wife and daughter last year.

IMHO if you go with any business model, you’re good to go. They have to build those models well because they end up in a lease situation for 5 years to huge companies.

Just did a search for lenovo all-in-one. Looks like it’s a monitor with hard drive, motherboard etc built in? I wouldn’t buy one but to each his own. I suppose it’s not much different than a laptop which is all I use though. Small components all jammed together as tight as possible. They do run warm.

I run Lenovo for a couple of reasons. I run Linux and Lenovo units have good Linux compatibility. They used to have models that came with Linux pre-installed. Lenovo also has something called a Hardware Maintenance Manual for pretty much every model, at least every laptop. Tells you how to replace any component, has diagrams etc. Kind of necessary to take apart a laptop without breaking plastic parts. I buy the popular business models because I know I’ll be able to get parts for them and because they’re better built then the consumer models. Titanium frames for the laptops etc.
