QuestionHow does the AMD A processer compare to the Intel i5 or i7 ? in terms of speed ? Which is faster ? Compatible? efficient?
Asked 8 years ago by Woody.
- Answer That is a very complicated question. Google the AMD processor model the put vs i5 or i7. Websites will show you all the data on how they compare. The A12 and the FX Amd processors are quad-core while and 7th gen i5 is a duo. Personally I think the 12 and FX are faster than the i5 by quite a bit. It also depends on how much ram the computer has and what task you are performing. A couple of Google searches will get you on the right track to figure out what's right for you. Amd processors are a great alternative to expensive gaming computers because of the graphics card they come with and their multitasking abilites.

QuestionLenovo expert... you answered my question BUT..Best Buys listing says its upgradeable to 16gb..Which is correct? Best Buy is promoting up to 16GB. You said it's capable of 12gb. So, only an 8GB upgrade will work (by a certified technician of course)?
Asked 8 years ago by Mark.
- Answer 12, one 4g stick is soldered to the motherboard. Discovered AFTER Best Buy employees from floor, chat and Geek Squad all said 16. Specifications still state 16g. Why is unknown.

QuestionHow long does it usually(on average) take this laptop to boot up for the first time after you purchase it, including the windows and Lenovo updates? It's been 45-55 minutes and it's still updating windows. When should I start getting concerned?
Asked 8 years ago by System.
- Answer It took this laptop over 2 hours to load and it never loaded windows or the virus protection. Luckily I purchased the additional Geek Squad plan for 200.00. I had to contact them & have their tech remote access into the computer to load the missing systems. Not very impressed.

QuestionHow do I get the screen to srop dimming when I disconnect the charger? I have looked up how to do it, but nothing is working. Are there multiple ways to do it? I have tried two different ways and nothing is working.
Asked 8 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, this sounds like your power settings are set such that when on battery, the screen dims to use less power. You can change this in the Control Panel. Click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of the screen. Type "Control Panel" in the search window. Click on Control Panel in the list of choices that appears. Type "power" in the Control Panel search window at the top right of the Control Panel Window. Select "Change Power Plan" from the list of options. The power plan you are currently using will be selected and in bold type. Click the "Change Plan Settings" link to the right of the name of your power plan. Here are the settings for when your device is plugged in and when it is on battery. From what you describe, the brightness slider is sett lower when on battery than when plugged in. Be sure the two brightness sliders are the same and your screen won't dim when you go to battery.

QuestionWill I be able to play the Sims 4 on it? And is there anyway I can make 8 GB memory to 16 GB memory and 1 TB to 2 TB?
Asked 8 years ago by Tiffany.
- Answer This model is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. 4GB of RAM are soldered to the motherboard and can't be removed. Your certified technician can remove 4GB from the memory slot and replace it with 8GB for a total of 12GB of RAM. Also your certified technician can replace the hard drive with a larger compatible drive. With regard to Sims 4, it will depend on the requirements of the game. We recommend you check with the game's software publisher's web site for their compatibility with Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.

QuestionIs there a DVD drive in this computer?
Asked 8 years ago by Barbara.
- Answer Yes, there is. I have not used it, so cannot speak to its quality. Personally I would not recommend this computer. The power cord is different from the others -- the part you plug into the socket is bulky and is easily pulled out, plus the cord is shorter. A really annoying aspect that I am not sure why they made it this way, plus you cannot use a regular power supply because they won't fit. If you can get a great deal on it go ahead, but IMO you'd be better off getting something else in the $400 price range
