    I only use my laptop for work/school purposes, occasionally to edit photos and such. Its a great laptop especially for the price and it has a very nice editing tool for photos. So far its fast, not seeing any problems.

    Got this for my son as his Steam games were filling up my hard drive. He primarily plays Minecraft on servers and multiplayer on Steam. He was able to change his resolution to max with no lag. He is pleased with it.

    Easy to use, easy to set up. Upgraded to Windows 10 for free the next day online. No software needed. Some games like pwi aren't yet approved for Windows 10 yet and will blink rapidly causing the game to be useless.

    GREAT Laptop for what we needed!

    We bought two of the 15.6" Lenovo laptops. We were looking for laptops for our kids for school. We have a 5th grader and a 3rd grader and we originally intended on purchasing a small, bare basics type of computer for them to only do school on. I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop and the Lenovo Yoga 2 tablet and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them, but we had no intention on paying a higher price to purchase Lenovos for such young kids. Then we started thinking about the fact that we wanted quality laptops that would last a while and we know how great the Lenovo quality is for us, so we opted to purchase one for each kid. They are perfect for them. They use them primarily for online schooling, but they also play games and apps on them and they are excellent!!!

    With the exception of one of the keys sticking in the first week, this laptop has been a good purchase. Somewhat easy to set up and use, my step daughter has been pretty happy with it. For the $$, it's a good buy.

    This laptop is exactly what I needed and it is easy to use. The only thing that I do not like is the battery length. The battery is not long lasting at all.

    I use this laptop mainly for writing but also for light multimedia enjoyment such as streaming and local video playback. This laptop is more than a match for those things. Has an adequate sized hard drive and bluetooth, which is rarer at this price point. There are portions of the plastic case which feel flimsy and the keyboard flexes very slightly during use, but, the resistance of the keys themselves while typing is firm. display quality is very good, better than I expected. In my opinion, all in all for normal day to day uses, this laptop is an excellent value.

    Saw this computer first on an "online only" electronics website and decided to check Best Buy. Glad I did because I got the same computer with 2 more GB ram for same price. Running Windows 10 already and no issues. Great computer for web surfing, email, and simple games like solitaire.

    We bought this computer as a birthday present for my sister, and so far the only problem she had was setting up her printer. (The problem was easily solve she forgot to turn on the WiFi on printer :-) )

    Having extensive experience as an advanced software quality assurance engineer, I now maintain those interests as a hobby. The G5080 is an addition to my T520 and X120e on which I run a plethora of Win and linux OSs and applications. I reconfigured dual boot Win 8.1 and Ubuntu 15.04 on the G5080 without even one hiccup and it runs fast, clean, and stable - just as well as the other two platforms. I bought it without the need for performance, and am unexpectedly quite pleased with how well it does run. The Novo button is a great idea. Thanks again Lenovo.

    This computer was purchased for my son to play computer games. He is 9 and basically only watches you tube and play games on it. Inexpensive and powerful enough for its use. Basic no frills computer.

    Was deal of the day and seemed like a great price vs regular price so was hoping to get performance I needed for lowest investment but ended up getting closer to what the deal price was in quality and had issues within days of purchase. Will hold out and get better performance laptop with Windows 10 and expect to pay 700-900 range to get respectable quality for work/home laptop. Easy return process - highly recommend Best Buy for all electronics purchases.

    The only problem I have had with this computer was my keyboard. However it turns out it was due to the Internet browser I was using. Otherwise this computer is fast and the perfect size for me.
