Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Processor U300 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 256 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

50/50%
I bought two items: a Lenovo desktop and an LG PC monitor. I took both as hand luggage to Thailand. I'm very satisfied with the desktop, but when I opened the monitor, I got a bad surprise—it was damaged. This couldn’t have happened during transportation since I carried it as a carry-on. Now I'm stuck with a broken monitor.

Reasonably priced
Had to replace my old desktop. This was Windows 11 with an SD card reader at a low price.

Quick and easy
It was easy to set up and it runs quite fast. It’s great for the average user. I didn’t try games and video processing, but I don’t need that kind of power.
