Purchased for my mother who was using an older Satellite. She accidentally updated to Windows 10 a few years back. After playing with this new Lenovo, I really hope 7 will always be around. I have been spending the last week trying to remove any & all bloat-ware, be it Lenovo or Microsoft. Also every time I turn it on, there is a new pop-up requiring an answer be it, “update or accept”, etc. I don’t really want her calling me every day asking if it’s okay to click “ok”. It just seems there are so many background programs running and it takes 7-8 minutes from start-up until it calms down enough to begin surfing/working efficiently. The system will go into “power saving mode” when using only the battery. This really appears to dull the already somewhat slow performance even more. Battery seems okay for a 2 cell battery but since she never takes it away from the house, plugged-in will be the normal operating mode. I read one post stating the CPU is only 2.70 w/o any boost. This may be the case when unplugged but if the task manager is correct, it apparently goes even beyond 3.60 GHz (see screenshot). The stranger thing is, why is the CPU maxing out in basically idle mode? The CPU is constantly working – must be all the background aps which are dragging out the performance. Three cores running pretty hard for some reason... oh well, good thing it's a Quad-core. Hopefully my mother will not have any issues once I hand it over. I give Windows 10 a generous (3), the hardware a (4) and the price a (5) bringing this to a 4 star review.
