Thinking About Picking up an All-in-One

[LongCity]

Thinking about picking up a new All-in-One desktop and am looking between these:

The base 21.5 in. iMac 2.5 GHz:
$1,199.00 Before the student discount

2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512MB GDDR5
Magic Trackpad
Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide

Lenovo ThinkCentre A70z:
$839.99

ThinkCenter A70z Core Duo (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX27099%28ME%29.aspx?curtab=0)

Lenovo ThinkCenter A70z:
$739.99

ThinkCenter Pentium E5300 (http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX27853%28ME%29.aspx?curtab=2)

Which one would you guys pick and why?
It'll just be for web browsing, TV shows, word processing, etc.

Edit: What about this bad boy - $849.00 after the coupon

IdeaCentre B510 - 77121TU (http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=243&Code=77121TU)

Me personally, I'd check out Kijiji for something cheaper - esp for a low-priority PC.

I would skip the A70z. They are using previous gen intel CPUs and are slated for end of life in October 2011.

If you like the Lenovo, then consider the Edge 91z AIO. Look at specifically model # "7075H1U" (you can get memx to special order it for you). Price should be no more than $879 per the Lenovo guide.

You can check the lenovo guide below for that part # to see more details, i'm just cut/pasting from the guide:

i3-2100 (3.10GHz) 4GB (1 DIMM) 320GB DVD RW Intel HD (VGA In + HDMI Out) No Win 7 Pro 64 1 Yr Onsite USB USB No Yes Yes No No Yes No Open June 2012

The IdeaCenter B510 would be a better buy then, no?
i5 3.2GHz, 6GB ram and 1Tb HDD.

Edit: Damn, don't think that one ships to Canada.

I don't have much exp with the IdeaCenters so unfortunately, I can't really comment beyond what the specs on paper say.
