I'm very shocked how much quality and how well built this desktop is for such a low price, $329. Lenovo did it right from the software to all the hardware. So let me list the specs the system has: *WD 1TB WD10EZEX 7200rpm HDrive *8GB PC3L Hynix Memory (1 x 8) 2 banks free to use! *Windows 10 *Intel Core i5 4th gen processor These four things combined will cost at least $400 retail! Now this isn't a super fast system but for the Black Friday price $329 + free shipping is the BEST value by far! And it's fast enough for 90% of the users out there today. I would recommend this computer to anyone looking to replace a 2 plus year system... Money well spent!

Core I5 processor, plenty of memory and 1 TB HD make a fine desktop unit for the money. Small format case fits under monitor when placed on its side. As with all units with DVD drive mounted sideways, it is a little hard to load and remove discs, the plastic drawer is somewhat wobbly and delicate though fully functional. This is the only real drawback to the machine, yielding 4 stars instead of 5. But again, the computer is a very good value at this price; an equivalent laptop is twice the price.

The system is working well but I had difficulty with the drivers. It came preloaded with windows 10 home and i didnt want it so I wiped the disk and reformated for win 7 professional, which was more of a job then I expected. In any case the drivers listed on the Lenovo site for win 7 were incorrect particularly the chipset and the video driver. I had to find the drivers for the chips set by matching the mother board to Intel's site and found the right chipset. The built in video card had old drivers as well and I got the proper ones from Intel. After the chipset installed the wireless lan installled easily. Prior to that it didnt work, and the sm bus controller missing went away.I tried to update the video card from the onboard card to a PNY geoforce card using the one and only open pcie slot but it wouldn work. I realized that the power source is only 160 watts and the card required 300. There is no way to add a second hard drive because there are not extra SATA ports. Lastly the dvd player is very flimsy. On a good note, it is quiet, fast, and very small and easy to move around. Id get a second one for the price of 325.00 which is what i payed. It is not a computer that I expect to last very long becasue of the flimsy componants but for now it suits my needs. I wish the Lanovo support site were better. The downlaoded lenovo solution center app, analyzed my system, correctly found out I had incorrect drivers then told me to go on line and find them. Big help that was.
